    I stayed in a room with a king size bed, very spacious, stylish and comfortable. The staff are very professional and helpful, the restaurant was fine. I was only there 2 days but enjoyed it's ambience. There are some food places and coffee shops nearby and a supermarket. If shopping is your thing you should visit Nanjing Rd which has malls, designer shops, food places, I guess it's Shanghai's Oxford street [London].
