Can't turn off the ceiling light.

Everything is perfect. Love the room that’s overlooking the Dishui Lake and the outdoor pool. Early in the morning, feel free to walk around the vicinity and enjoy the scenery and the fresh air.

I have to say my stay at the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Harbor City was subpar. Unfortunately what could have been a great experience was taken away by the low quality and minimal choice of food, bad employee service, nickel-and-diming on hotel services, suspicious vending machines not working forcing you to their high price of drinks (both non alcoholic and alcoholic), bad and smelly A/C. It feels like an old hotel with that dingy smell just handing on by most likely government funding. The architecture is wonderful and the grounds and lake are great. Unfortunately for them there are 100s of other hotels to stay in Shanghai many for the same or better price that are much better than this. It's an hour from the Pudong airport in the opposite direction making this facility around 2 hours away from Shanghai. (FYI you can get to downtown Shanghai in ~7 minutes using their MagLev train from the Pudong airport). My main reason for staying at this facility was for business which was in that area. And there are very few hotels around there. The surrounding area is still being developed so don't expect to find much of anything but a few local restaurants.

Hotel is what you would expect for a four star. Room is a bid dated but clean. Not many guests staying at this hotel mainly due to local area still under heavy development. Designed mainly as a vacation resort. Service needs to be improved. For example, there are many servers in the restaurant (Chinese style), but most of them just stand around. They should take away finished dishes on our table. Also, two of the hotel staff members in their uniform sat down and starting eating next to us. I honestly don't know if this is appropriate. But in all my experiences stay in a hotel (4 star and above), this was the first time. It felt awkward.
