In Shanghai! Three consecutive nights with my girlfriend! So comfortable!
Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Central
✨First Impression: Stunning Facade and Thoughtful Welcome
My girlfriend and I were dragging our luggage when we found this hotel. As soon as we stepped into the lobby, we were stunned by the spacious, bright, and modern space. The lobby's decor was simple yet elegant, and the warm yellow light shone on the smooth floor, giving a welcoming sense of warmth and comfort. The front desk staff was super enthusiastic. Seeing me approach, they immediately offered a sincere smile, efficiently handled the check-in procedures, and patiently answered all my strange questions. My heart, which had been tense from the fatigue of the journey, instantly relaxed.
🛍️Rooms: Details Matter
Walking into the room, I was immediately drawn to the oversized window. Opening the curtains, I had a panoramic view of the bustling street scene outside, as if the entire city was at my feet. The room layout was very reasonable. Although the space wasn't particularly large, every inch was well utilized. The bed was moderately soft, and lying on it felt like sinking into the clouds. I slept until I woke up naturally. What surprised me most was that the room also had some snacks and bottled water, provided free of charge, which was so thoughtful! And those seemingly inconspicuous little details, such as the toiletries being from big brands, with exquisite packaging and super comfortable to use, made me feel that I had chosen the right place to stay.
🍔Food: A Gourmet Delight
The hotel restaurant is truly my favorite. The breakfast selection is so rich that it's dazzling, with Western-style bread, bacon, and fried eggs, as well as Chinese-style porridge, buns, and fried dough sticks, each made with delicacy and deliciousness. My favorite is the freshly made fried egg, with tender egg whites and a perfectly runny yolk. Paired with the bacon next to it, one bite is pure bliss. And the service in the restaurant is also great. The staff can always detect your needs in time. Before I even opened my mouth, they had already brought the cutlery or drinks to me. This feeling of being carefully taken care of is truly unforgettable.
🏊Leisure: A Great Place to Relax
The hotel's gym and swimming pool became my resting place during my busy schedule. The gym is fully equipped with treadmills, elliptical machines, and dumbbells. I would go for a run every morning, sweat it out, and feel much more energetic. The water in the pool was crystal clear, and the water temperature was just right. Soaking in it and looking at the sky outside the window, all the fatigue disappeared. And there are also comfortable lounge chairs by the pool for people to rest on. I often lie on the chairs after swimming, basking in the sun and enjoying this rare leisure time.
🌈Memories: Those Warm Little Details
During my stay at the hotel, some small things happened that left a particularly deep impression on me. One time I came back late at night, and the young man at the front desk saw me holding takeout food and took the initiative to contact room service to deliver the takeout to my room, and thoughtfully prepared disposable tableware. Another time, I accidentally twisted my foot in the gym, and the staff immediately came over to help me ice it and stayed with me until I felt better before leaving. These seemingly insignificant little details made me feel at home and filled my stay with wonderful memories.
In short, the Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Central is truly a place that made me extremely satisfied. From the moment I checked in, I felt full of sincerity and thoughtfulness. Whether it's the comfortable rooms, delicious food, or thoughtful service, it all made me feel that this trip was worth it! Next time I come to Shanghai, I will definitely choose this place again, and I sincerely recommend it to every friend who comes to Shanghai. I believe you will love it here as much as I do.
