Grand Mercure Shanghai Lingang

Great spot to stay! The breakfast is great and it's a really beautiful hotel. The live music in the lounge is too loud for the vibe. It was pretty close to where I work but it's a long ways from downtown. Super nice and friendly staff.

Quite a nice hotel with a small shopping complex next door that has a few restaurants including a pharmacy/chemist, and also a supermarket. None of these show up on Google Maps. There are also a few other restaurants available along Jiangshan road and plenty of fresh fruit stalls everywhere. The only thing to be aware of is that quite a few places close early. Not sure if that is the same for other restaurants further away. The hotel buffet breakfast was nice with a mix of western and local options available. Dinner can be both buffet or à la carte. The à la carte also has both western and local options. Not sure what was available for the dinner buffet. The front staff were very helpful and I think most of them spoke basic English. They were able to help me get a taxi as I was having troubles doing it via my phone. The physical location is way off on the map. It is actually South West of its displayed location and is at the intersection of Chengxian Road and Yunying Road. Would have no issues coming back.

Hotel is brand new, but located in the middle of nowhere. Maybe only used by Tesla gigafactory visitors. Rooms are huge and clean. Service is ok, friendly but not very good English. Few restaurants outside, inside restaurant good only for breakfast
