After my company's business trip coordinator booked my colleagues and me for 4 nights in this hotel I've read some of the latest reviews here and got very anxious...
Well i was totally surprised to find a very nice hotel with big rooms (deluxe, 60$ per night) with a decent breakfast (continental, fresh vegetables, eggs, bread, sausages, juices, etc).
indeed it's quite far from Shanghai center (~40-50 Yuan taxi fare, ~20-30 Mins) but it is very close to the high-tech business area i was going every day.
Didn't encounter any issues with hotel's administration and definitely not the Chinese Mafia.
Make sure you have your POI in advance as the directions we got from the "English speaker" guest guide was a bit accurate not to say WAY WAY OFF 8-)
Notice that in my room there was no WiFi but only Ethernet socket so you need to tweak your cellphone if required.

This hotel management like chinese mafia,very unhonest ,we checked in at 11pm 23 persons on group tour,at 6 am morning call,at 7 am luggage outside hotel room,and we went down for breakfast,and we planed to go at 8 am,but during breakfast,our tour leader searching one family,so they stopped the breakfast because this hotel asked for compensation because two big towels and a small towell loss,after that the reception made a correction,and told us that 2 bigtowels are too dirty so can not use it again.And after stopping their breakfast,both of my groupfriend went upstair to the room again,with the reception officer for checking these bath towels>
The reality was,the tow big bath towels is normal,and one small bath towell was found in the bed.Because this trouble our groups delayed for 45 minutes,and loss breakfast time.In my opinion the management of this hotel is equally bad as thieves in shanghai Nanjing road.They tried hard to cheat us,so every body who stay in this hotel should be carefully,this is a chinese mafia management,better to avoid

I have travelled quite a bit in China, and yes I have stayed at worse places. However if you expect a certain quality due to a brand name, even the budget brandname like Best Western, then keep away. The problem I suspect is poor staff training e.g. the used teacups in your room are put away nicely - however they haven't been cleaned, and I mean not even emptied of the fluid or teabag! The bench hasn't been wiped down and has progressively got stickier. The bathroom countertop does not look clean - I put a towel over it. Restaurant staff do not have a clue. I bought my own teabags as the hotel does not have western teabags available for you to buy i.e. it is not on the menu. How about hot water for the teabags I take down to dinner and breakfast - the cold "hot" water was replaced at least but it is impossible to get a teapot or a pot of hot water. How about seating people at your small table without asking you. Those black fluff that I brushed off the bed yesterday are still on the floor. Did they change the sheets - I don't know but the pillow cases have been slept on before if the crinkles are anything to go by - hopefully just by me. I know its just a best western so I wasn't expecting a lot. Note that it does not have a swimming pool although it does have a small gym. If you like to unpack at all - the rooms have no (as in zero) drawers.

We just had 3 nights here and it was not great. The room was very small. The breakfast was not very appetising. The concierge was not very helpful as he didn't have very good English skills. It was half an hour away from the main part of the city though I have to say taxis are plentiful and cheap (about $5-$8 for the trip) I would not stay there again.
