Radisson Blu Shanghai Pudong Jinqiao

I stayed here for a school athletics trip with my 2 teenage kids. The staff were all very helpful and kind. The breakfast buffet is amazing and worth paying extra for if it is not included in your room rate. The shower was wonderful, love the rain showerhead and great water pressure. The only negative for me was the in-room hair dryers. I was very happy that the hotel provided a hair dryer (pretty standard, but I appreciate it) however, the hair dryer provided was one step above useless. It had a US plug that barely stayed plugged into the provided electrical socket so it constantly cut off because it wasn't securely plugged in. It also had the button that you have to constantly hold down in order for the dryer to work - always annoying at best, but when it is also cutting on and off depending on the plug situation it was VERY FRUSTRATING. Impossible to actually style your hair with this dryer and it just left our hair frizzy and horrible. I understand that very few hotels actually provide decent hair dryers but this was a truly miserable experience each day trying to dry my hair. So....if you don't require a good, working hair dryer, this is the hotel for you. Everything else was just wonderful with our stay. I appreciated the staff taking such great care of our students and coaches. Also, we appreciated the Carrefour market and little mall with food options next to the hotel. Easy access to the metro at the mall. Good location for getting around Shanghai.
