Convenient hotel next to the airport
Pros:

Free shuttle bus from the airport, worked perfectly. I didn't have WiFi but I took a screenshot from the review section where the location was explained (1st floor arrivals).

Room was clean and bed very comfortable, nothing to complain about. I left at 6:00 and breakfast started at 6:30 so did not get to try it.

Cons:

Would have been nice if there had been a toothbrush and toothpaste available in the room

A bizarre and humiliating experience
Pros:

The initial greeting on check-in was very friendly, but it was all downhill from here, and it was not sincere as the check-in clerk made a specific request that I write a positive review on booking.com

Cons:

This was a bizarre and humiliating experience involving re-crating a dog in the middle of the lobby and staff implying I was planning to share a bed with my partner's 19yo nephew.

I specifically booked a pet-friendly hotel because I was flying my dog to the UK the next day and needed somewhere near the airport. When I checked in before my dog arrived from being shipped from Chongqing to Shanghai, I confirmed this was ok, and explained there would be a dog crate that I might need to clean out at the back of the hotel if possible. I was told this is all fine.

However, when my dog arrived and my partner's 18yo nephew who lives in SH came over to help me:

1. We were stopped in the lobby and told in front of other guests that the 19yo man would need to be registered to spend the night with me, in my double room. To be clear, I am 43 and am not sleeping with my partner's 18yo nephew.

2. We were also told the dog needed to be re-crated to cross the lobby (as this was in the lobby, this led to a lengthy and embarrassing period while I tried to re-crate the dog);

3. It meant I was not able to clean the crate as I had previously discussed with the staff, and had to take it to the room to dismantle it and clean in the shower (I cleaned the shower and left in perfect condition);

4. While I was trying to re-crate the dog, a member of staff demanded a deposit for the dog. This could have happened at check-in, but instead happened at the same time as all the above, keeping us in the lobby for much longer than I wanted.

5. When the dog arrived and my partner's nephew arrived outside the hotel, the security guard came and silently circled us, saying nothing, but staring intently, which was frankly bizarre and intimidating.

6. At no point did any member of staff offer to help, they just stared coldly throughout, although we tried being friendly and chatty. It felt more like I was trying to win their approval rather than them providing service.
