Review of Shanghai HengSheng Peninsula International Hotel by Sutin

The location of the hotel was good for the price paid, about $52.50. It's a 10-15 min walk to the Bund and Nan Jing Dong Lu. There are little grungy street shops near the hotel but there are several massage places that only cost about 8RMB per hour a block away. I didn't try any though becaue I didn't have time. The location is okay because taxis are very cheap, starting at 11 RMB (about $1.50). The hotel room that we had was very small but very nicely renovated with a great glass bathroom and you had complete control of the A/C and could make it as cold as you want. The only problem was that the room was the end of a vent shaft so there was almost no natural light and the room lights were weak. We asked for another room but they were booked that day and we were too lazy to switch rooms, but they seemed open to switching our room the next day if there was availability. There is also a pool at the hotel, but I think you have to bring a swimming cap. We didn't have time to try to the pool.
