I found a good rate on hotels.com ($56 for a Deluxe Room), so was pretty satisfied for what I paid. I would say the Jinjiang Pine City is best classified as a business hotel, but it's a step above budget chains such as Greentree Inn, Hanting Express, etc., for not that much more cost if you score a good deal. Service is a bit indifferent, but I didn't encounter rudeness. The room was a good size. The bathroom was small by newer hotel standards, and with a tub rather than shower stall. One thing that freaked me out: The bathrobes in the closet are hung in a cloth cover and one of the covers was absolutely filthy with big yellow stains, etc. I can't believe housekeeping could see that and think that it's acceptable. Can't really fault the location since I've been to Shanghai numerous times and knew exactly where the hotel was located, which is within walking proximity to the western part of the french concession. If you're a tourist and wish to be near the Bund, which is not a particularly exciting/happening area, then please do your research and choose a hotel near there!
