What is the difference between a 4-star and 3-star hotel in Downtown Shanghai?
The biggest difference between a 3- and 4-star hotel in Downtown Shanghai is the standard of service and availability of creature comforts. Three-star hotels are typically more wallet-friendly and come with the services and conveniences required to be comfortable, such as a gym, WiFi and breakfast. You can count on a little bit more at a 4-star hotel — think upscale interiors, premium bathroom products and extra touches like on-site spa centres.
What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Downtown Shanghai?
A motel is a good option if you're getting ready to tour around Downtown Shanghai. These escapes are typically located close to major roads and airports, feature ample parking and have basic services and amenities. Check in to a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located.
