Shanghai

[JimB]

My wife has decided that she wants us to go to Shanghai during February.  She wants to go to the temple where she asked for a good husband and thank them. (Her words not mine) So does anybody know of a good inexpensive hotel in Shanghai?  With western style accommodations.  Thanks.

It's a big city. You need to work out where you wish to be located (eg near the middle, near the airport, etc).

I left Motel 168 this morning, they are all over Shanghai, the one I was in was near Pudong road on the No 4 subway, 138rmb per night, not too far from the city, clean, great staff, bit noisy in the mornings as the hallways are tiled but for the price I'd give it 8/10, lots of little restaurants and small shops and supermarkets in the area, cost me bugger all to live there for 3 weeks, giving Nanning a go now, much smaller and warmer, Hotel No is..021-51171111
About 75rmb to the Airport by taxi and the shower is big enough for about 4 people lol.
Edit, just asked my lady friend, it's on Dalian road about 100m from the subway.

Jim , I know this is not the cheapest ... but it's my Favorite . Downtown Holiday Inn ( Great Wall Wing ) . It has the Train Station right in back . Walking distance to many good Restaurants and Shopping Center's and Banks . 15 min. - 60 min. to just about everything . It's in Pu-xi and Pu-dong ( the Bund , Pearl Tower , Boat Cruises ) is a 20 Min. Taxi drive . It comes with a great Breakfast and free Internet and free Happy Hour for Executive Rooms at about 520 RMB - 630 RMB . I've been at a cheaper one on my first Trip , but what a pain ? Was near Pudong Airport , so a bitch of a drive to go to the Center of the City . The darn Taxi driver's got lost all the time , it was sooo far out . Qing had to tell them where to go . FUNNY.

Just seen Shanghai on TV.   It is covered in Snow.

Should be gone by February though.
