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.

Overall a really enjoyable stay. It’s a great place to stay if you want to get away for a couple of days as there’s nothing close by.

Crown Plaza excellence but NOT english speaking. I`m surprised and disappointed because of the language skills of the staff - especially at reception - unacceptable.
Everything els was perfect - room with much space, extraordinary architecture (even if you are not interested in). Calm and relax atmosphere. PHANTASTIC breakfast.

The food was terrible, mostly deep frozen and very tasteless. Even worth was the service in the Crown Plaza. Absolutely not recommendable.

It's a shame that it is managed the way it is as it is such a cool thing right outside the city, but there is a few key decisions that blow my mind, but make a big difference. I live in China, so am used to the quirks of Chinese hotels, but was hoping for a little more being a western chain.
1) The pictures showed all the rooms to have balcony, but over half do not and we came prepared to relax on our balcony and look at the lake - wasn't possible.
2) The pool is lakeside, however, they built shrubbery all around the edge of it, so that when you lay by the pool you have no idea you are near the lake. What is the point of that?
3) We had to pre-order all of our drinks from the hotel lobby and have them deliver it paced out because there was no set waiter taking orders by the pool.
4) We had read other reviews, so we were prepared for this, but the only place to get drinks is the beer garden (in the middle of the hotel- no view of lake) that goes from 6-9 and as soon as 9:00 hits the music and food and beer stops.
The manager really tried to accomidate us, but I think this place was a good idea but was executed very poorly.

Overall it is a great hotel! We loved the pool! The great rooms and also the employees had very friendly, although many of them really lack in English.
What is a absolute no-go, is what happened at breakfast! We would really have loved our stay, but such an experience can bring a bad taste into the overall stay.
