No VPN at the Sheraton in Shanghai, nor at the Four Points by Sheraton Beijing Haidian. Always had to use my own VPN. VPN typically goes on when I enter China and does not get switched off until I leave.

We were at the hilton. Wifi slow, but worked fine on everything but project fi phone. No issues on laptop. Just can't do Google search, but was fine on other search engines
