Crowne Plaza Shanghai Snow World

It's a lovely Ski Resort, the snow world and water park are just next door. Very close to the airport but far away from rest of the main attractions. Staffs are friendly and helpful, need to give a special thanks to Jansen who helped with my check in, and prior to my check in he's been very helpful and attentive to all my questions and requests. Gary was another staff I like to give praise to. Then there's another lady but I didn't remember her name. Then there's a gentleman at the lobby, who's very professional, supportive and very patient with my broken Mandarin, who helped me ship out some of our belongings. Mr Dai (戴先生) We stayed for 3 nights, it was a one night stay and eventually we spent the whole weekend at the resort, so didn't get to see Shanghai much. My kid said the world park isn't cold but nothing much to do, mant rides and facilities are shut down (maybe bevause of winter time?) turned into 3 nights, Ski park ticket is 30%+ more expensive during the weekends. I had a terrifying experience at the help desk from the Ski park though, very unprofessional staff. Otherwise, rest are great. Love our room type, the bath tub is basically a mini spring, highly recommend to take a hot bath each night. Nice decor, clean and bright. Nice chilling lobby. Breakfast is wonderful, wide selections. Lunch set and a-la-carte menu are both ok. Dinner buffet sucks though, I will stay away from the dinner buffet if possible! Food are all dried up, crab legs is a joke, food presentation not appealing, not many options. The operations and management of the dining definitely need some work done. Only one dining place, lobby offers refreshment only. But overall, is a great hotel, friendly and supportive staffs, clean, and no smokes!!!!

Because of typoon, water park and snow park were closed. Of course typoon was not hotel's fault, but all agents, especially "Sean Wang" tried his best, offered dinner coupon and room upgrade. All facilities and buildings are brand new, very clean and nice. We will go again once we plan to go to snow park again.

Staff were helpful and enthusiastic. My husband left his favourite pants behind. I called and the staff followed up immediately and promised to ship back to us. Right next to the snow world. Great breakfast. New and clean. Will come back.
