The subway stop for Shanghai Stadium is a mere 5 minute walk always (use exit 3), making this location very convenient for getting around Shanghai. Subway, Starbucks, Paris Baguette, Cafe Bene, and many other foreign and Chinese eateries are close by, as well. A 24 hour Family Mart - a small convenience store - is just across the street. That said, the hotel reeked of cigarette smoke nearly the entire time we were there. We had a non-smoking room, and I realize this is an occupational hazard that comes with living in China, but it was still foul to have that ever-present stench hovering in the air. The rooms are small but fine; our toilet dripped constantly and the refrigerator is barely cook (not suitable to store food in), but it was a reasonably comfortable stay.
