Jinjiang Inn Select (Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech Park)

The location is excellent. There are many restaurants right on the street below the hotel, making dining incredibly convenient. It's also very close to Shuguang Hospital, within walking distance. With two universities just across the road, a wide range of amenities are easily accessible. The front desk staff were very friendly and patient. The room was very clean, and the cleaning staff were excellent and very cooperative.

I distinctly booked a superior king room, but was given a cheaper standard king room – exactly as pictured on their website – with a minuscule window. Upon entering, the room reeked of a strong, foul odor. There were numerous stains on the walls and around the headboard, and the wall by the window was bubbling and cracked, looking utterly filthy. To top it off, I found hair from a previous guest on the chair – I was absolutely appalled! I had originally booked for several more days, but the moment I stepped into the room, I was so disgusted that I immediately canceled my subsequent reservations. I chose this hotel solely for its proximity to my child's school, as I was attending their graduation ceremony. I prioritized convenience, but the level of dilapidation was truly astonishing. Parking was also a huge hassle. I've driven past this hotel countless times over the years and always saw cars parked right out front (which was a factor in my booking decision). Yet, the front desk refused to let me park there, claiming they weren't hotel spaces and were locked. Strangely, over the next few days, I consistently saw those very spaces unlocked and occupied by other cars. The hotel offered no reasonable explanation to guests. If I'm really pushed to find any positives: 1. The mattress in the room was surprisingly good; it hadn't sagged despite the overall dated facilities. 2. The hotel staff I encountered, especially the cleaning crew, were all very polite.

The room was a bit small, but spotlessly clean. Its location right next to a food street was incredibly convenient. Breakfast was pretty standard, offering all the essentials. The service was excellent; they even proactively offered me a late check-out until 4 PM today. The glimpse of greenery from the window added a lovely touch and boosted my mood.
