The staff are excellent. They are very responsive and professional, as one would expect at a Four Seasons and in Shanghai. The location is also ideal, near multiple metro lines and within walking distance from a number of great neighborhoods.
At the same time, the rooms themselves are a bit tired. The thing that struck me in walking into the room was the carpet. It was worn and there was a dark ring around the parameter of the room, under the baseboard, where dirt has collected over time. Some of the accessories like the bed skirt also seemed a bit old. All and all, I kept wondering why Four Seasons continues to keep its name on this property, without a renovation.
It wasn't a bad experience, and I might consider staying there at the future, though I expected more given the Four Seasons name.
