The hotel just off People''s Square was fine in itself and a good location for seeing Shanghai. However the immediate gauntlet of street vendors faced when entering or leaving was off putting, even for a man in his mid-forties, who felt he knew quite a bit about the world! On immediately leaving the hotel vendors would merge on westerners with you want watches, T shirts etc up to about 6pm. After 6pm this changed to you want massage, you want sexy massage, you want sex - including arms on your arm and shoulders not really stopping until moving into the next vendors strip for the process to start again. The hotel should at least seek to move these people away from the immediate hotel front, as you could hardly get away from the hotel front steps without these offers being made. Hopefully with the wife and kids things would be different, but I wouldn''t risk it. Sorry a reasonable hotel for the price, but let down by the uncontrolled vendors in the locality.
