Shadow rocket is the best and is what I use actually. I didn't recommend it because I thought one needed Chinese payment systems. If it's android, you need to update on the 1st and 16th of every month. iOS just shut and it automatically updates. It's faster and more stable than other VPNs in my experience.

You can type English names into gaode (or didi for taxi) and most times it is correct. For example, type in Park Hyatt Beijing in English and the Chinese name should pop up. Check street number to see if you most likely have the right address. You can also copy the pinyin (ie romanized) spelling from Hyatt app for the address and put into gaode or didi - that usually works very well too.

I frankly would not be too worried about staying at a UR Cove if they allow foreigners if you don't speak Mandarin. Chinese are super helpful and someone somewhere will help out. You won't always be able to get international language service level but you will get good help.
