Songjiang New Century Grand Hotel Shanghai — Hotel in Shanghai

I stayed in this hotel for 9 nights in Dec 2018. it is next to a big and very modern Mall, and you don't have to go out to get to the Mall as it is connected inside via 3rd floor. The Mall has 2 Starbucks, and many many different style restaurants, drug store (Watson), high end and mid range retails. However, you need a taxi to get to the nearest metro stop like Songjiang New Town or Songjiang University Town stops (

We recently had the pleasure of staying here for a week. Our normal choice of hotel is less stars but further away from the local shopping centre and food outlets which are on the doorstep. The hotel is much more expensive than the cab fare to get here and the extra cost really isn’t justifiable. Although the rooms are well laid out and beds comfortable the whole hotel doesn’t seem as welcoming, clean or friendly. ||Breakfast is served buffet style with a huge selection to choose from.

Gross dinner.||||During dinner, the head server? insisted I pay cash for dinner, even though I had 3000 deposit on my room. She insisted it wouldn't cover the meal. She kept interrupting our dinner meeting. When we were leaving, she showed me the bill of 500 total, but still would not put it on room charge.
