Stayed here for 2 days while on business in Shanghai. Very new hotel and the staff are extremely polite and helpful. All staff spoke English and hotel has currency exchange and guests can use foreign credit cards for deposit and payment. Rooms are top notch in this 4 star hotel with lots of amenities. Chinese and Western style breakfast available in the morning. Fresh fruit and pasties also available. High Speed Internet access in the rooms and WiFi available in the lobby and restaurant as well. Hotel does not have a gift shop available but staff are very helpful in getting you whatever you need and the concierge desk is very helpful in getting items for you and recommending places to visit, providing directions, translation, etc.
Hotel is only about 5-8 minute taxi ride away from the MagLev station for a short 8 minute ride to Pudong International Airport (by taxi it's probably 30-45 minutes so recommend using the MagLev which is super fast and a very nice bullet train - Cost 50 RMB). Hotel is located in a nice area in Western Pudong District across the river from downtown close to a metro station (Lancun Station), about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The metro system in Shanghai is well organized and easy to use. Staff available to help if you need assistance. It's close to being on par with Singapore transit system and efficient as well as very cost effective. Taxis are always available in front and it's only a short drive across the bridge to downtown.
Note: If you check in at the front desk, the rate is about $114 USD per night for their discounted rate including breakfast. But if you use the Best Western Website, the room can be booked for around $85 - $100 USD per night including breakfast.

This is a newly opened hotel. The facilities in the hotel are modern and nice. But there is heavy smell of the decoration in the room. The buffet breakfast is delicious but it's not included in the room price and the price is expensive. In addition, the receptionist should be well trained to improve their efficiency. Anyway, the hotel is opened for a short time, any flaw should be understanded. I will come back.
