That's pretty good, especially with internet and breakfast included.

Earlier this year I took advantage of the Oriental Riverside pricing error which I think was $19 (US) per night and that was a 4 **** property but without food and internet included.

If anyone is thinking of taking advantage of this and has not been to China before, I can thoroughly recommend giving Shanghai a try. It is a fascinating place and I found it great just walking around and immersing myself in the day-to-day life of a modern Chinese city.

It's the regular rate (2 wks in advance) for a HI/HIEX property in China.

Yes, one can indeed apply this coupon code to get $200 off a 5-nights reservation on Orbitz - there's a separate thread about this and the other code.

This thread here looks to be more about a cheap InterContinental Group property someone might want to book to benefit from any of the numerous ongoing Priority Club promos. This sounds more in line with the stated purpose of Hotel Deals. As the sticky in the Mileage Run parent forum goes:

Just booked my entire 10 night Shanghai stay at this property. Great value with the Orbitz deal.

Tripadvisor reviews look alright. Will report after my stay.
