to upgrade a room to Club Level. Does that seem remotely correct? Seems REALLY high...and this is China we're talking about!
What is a better hotel overall, The Portman or The PuLi?
The Puli is a much nicer hotel because it is comparatively new (therefore, the rooms were built to the modern standard), but this is why it usually costs twice as much money. Do you have a corporate rate at the Portman? (Many include club level access.)
