Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Huijin

Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Huijin: Light of Qingpu 【1. Overview | Overview】 "Comprehensive hotel recommendation index (out of five stars): 4 stars." Hotel frequent flyer membership level: IHG Diamond Elite, stayed in 1126 hotels, 95 hotels in Shanghai, including 6 hotels in Qingpu District (have stayed in hotels in 16 districts of Shanghai). Comprehensive evaluation (highlights, shortcomings, regrets): The lobby is exquisitely decorated, bright, and atmospheric, with conventional configurations: automatic kiosks, reception areas, automatic food delivery robots, front desks, etc. The mosquito repellent in the room does not match the mosquito repellent liquid and cannot be inserted. Details are everything, so you need to pay attention. 【2. Guest Room | In Room】 "Welcome and upgrade benefits: The hotel upgraded me to a larger room. The only drawback is that the larger room faces the street, while the smaller room does not face the street. Each has its own "strengths." Another hotel in Qingpu District, "Qingpu New Town" ( It used to be called Moduli, but it’s a name that’s hard to pronounce anyway.) Zhixuan has both suites and larger rooms, but they didn’t upgrade me. Comparing the two, Huijin Zhixuan is more kind.” Room layout and hardware evaluation: Smart Selection opened in scenic spots will have many family and tourism-related upgrades, such as courtyard rooms, bunk beds for children, family rooms, Kumamon-themed rooms, children's play-related facilities, etc. These Representatives include several Smart Selection stores around Disney, Badaling Smart Selection, Tengchong Smart Selection, etc. Smart Selection for urban business-type basic business trips are all regular replicas. On the one hand, they save costs, on the other hand, they are convenient for cleaning, on the other hand, they are convenient for tidying up the room when checking out, and on the other hand, they are also convenient for grassroots business travelers to get started quickly. Representatives of simplicity, cleanness and convenience in this regard are Huijin Smart Selection and so on. Of course, there are also some smart options with unsatisfactory software and hardware, such as Qingpu Xincheng Smart Selection. Minibar, bathroom supplies: The welcome fruits, welcome drinks, and diamond membership gift packs (including mixed dried fruits, etc.) provided by the hotel are very generous; however, Qingpu New City Smart Selection does not prepare a diamond welcome gift pack. Guest room view: Outside the guest room window is a main road with good greening, it is easy to get a taxi, and the surrounding area is also very smokey. 【3. Catering | Dining】 "The executive lounge's food types and services are integrated with Powerlong Plaza, so there are countless food options nearby; while Qingpu New City Express requires you to cross the road to get to the mall, which is unsafe and time-consuming." Hotel breakfast and service: The breakfast is very rich and can be enjoyed on the third floor. There are coffee to-go cups (Qingpu Xincheng Zhixuan does not have coffee to-go cups). Hotel restaurant hardware, taste and service: There are intermittent air conditioner noises in the guest rooms, but there are no such sounds in the restaurants and public areas. [4. Facilities | Facilities] "Gym: Huijin Smart Selection does not have a gym, but the surrounding environment and road conditions are good, which is suitable for morning jogging; Qingpu Xincheng Smart Selection only has one treadmill and the gym is under renovation, so the photos of the gym they put on third-party websites are suspected of misleading La." Swimming pool: Very few Holiday Inn Express hotels have swimming pools. In my impression, of the more than 100 Holiday Inn Express hotels I have stayed in, there is one in Pudong that has a swimming pool (open to the public, outside the hotel). Children’s play: None. Business Center: The lobby on the first floor can provide basic Internet access or copying services. 【5. Unforgettable moments | the Moments】 "Advantages and disadvantages: There is a charge for the laundry room (scan the code on the "Beaver Laundry" app, washing and drying cost 30 yuan each time). But since I am a diamond member, the hotel made an exception and gave me free washing and drying. Later, both the washing machine and dryer broke down. The front desk staff patiently solved the problem, which is commendable. " Outstanding performance and awards of star employees: Every employee at the front desk is worthy of praise, regardless of gender, and their attire is also standard and fashionable. Some of the employees in Qingpu New Town are arrogant, which is not good. 【6. Summary | Conclusion】 "Highlights of the trip: The phone is a smart voice phone, but many of the messages recorded in advance are wrong. For example, if you ask if there is a laundry room? The answer from the phone smart butler is that it is available and free, but in fact it is charged; another example is if you ask if there is a laundry room? If there is a laundry bag, the phone will say that it is not available, but in fact it is available... Therefore, the intelligent voice still needs to be improved." Surrounding food, attractions, and entertainment: Huijin Smart Selection and Qingpu New City Smart Selection are both close to and not too far from the National Convention and Exhibition Center. After all, they both belong to Qingpu District. Generally speaking, Huijin Smart Selection is slightly closer and slightly smoother. Qingpu Xincheng Express is more congested to get to the exhibition hall. Under normal circumstances, high-level executives in the automotive industry stay at the Intercontinental Hotel, while other important guests stay at several well-known hotels near the exhibition hall. The touring performance team has limited funds, so they usually arrange for the cast and crew to stay at Home Inns, Jinjiang Inn, For Hanting and the like, Smart Selection is an option that is neither high nor low. Of course, for someone like me with obsessive-compulsive disorder who has to check in to every hotel, the above rules are not applicable, haha. Hotel location and transportation: The hotel is close to the "Huijin Road" subway station. There are eight stops in total from Huijin Road Subway Station to Xujingdong Subway Station, which is the closest to the exhibition. It takes nearly half an hour and requires only one transfer (Line 17, transfer to Line 2 at Hongqiao Railway Station). During the auto show, the "Xujingdong" subway station can only go out through exits 4 and 8 in the morning, and can only go in and out through exit 9; when the show ends in the afternoon, people can only go in and out through gates 4 and 9, and can only go out and through gate 8; at the same time, According to the actual situation, Gate 5 will be randomly adjusted to only allow entry but not exit; Gate 6 will be adjusted to only exit but no entry.

The room was very clean, and the handsome man and beautiful woman at the front desk were very patient and enthusiastic. On the weekend of the high school entrance examination, the entire lobby was crowded with parents. The handsome man at the front desk patiently answered every anxious parent's room check-in questions. Made us very satisfied during the exam.

I went to Qingpu on a business trip and chose the Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Huijin. The hotel is in a strategic location. It is next to Baolong Plaza and provides a variety of places to eat, drink and have fun. It is very convenient! In addition, it is right next to Huijin Road Station of Metro Line 17, making it even more convenient to get to Hongqiao Business District! The hotel seems to have opened in 2019 and is fully equipped! The underground parking lot has a direct elevator to the lobby on the B2 floor. It is free for hotel guests (note: no more than 24 hours at a time), which is very convenient! The check-in procedure is simple and convenient, the service of the lady at the front desk is very good, and drinks and welcome fruits are provided upon check-in. The room is well maintained, has all the equipment, and is very clean! The free breakfast buffet is also very good, and the service is superb. I like it! The hotel is more suitable for business travelers.
