Hyatt House/Place Shanghai Hongqiao CBD

I'm new to Hyatt so I'm not sure where Place and House lies in Hyatt's line of brands. It seems like these two hotels are next to one another and the price is fairly similar. It also doesn't seem to be too far from a subway station, which I like. Anyone here been there before? I'm looking for some comments on this property. I'm currently a Hyatt Discoverist and potentially be a Explorist by the time I get back to Shanghai.
Thanks.

Hyatt Place and Hyatt House are the base level brands. House is said to be more towards family, but those are almost the same.
Foreign hotels are generally considered better and priced very attractively. If you don’t need the super luxury like Ritz Carlton or Park Hyatt, they are very good economic stays.

These are pretty standard HP/HH. HH is a bit more apartment style with a kitchen. Both share the same breakfast area.
When I went last year, Google Maps had them in an entirely different position than reality. Hongqiao station is massive and hard to figure out. Finding these hotels (or the shuttle bus) even more so.
Once you've found the hotels, they are quite convenient for a day trip to Zhujiajiao. And the metro into Shanghai isn't too long or difficult.

I've been to Hongqiao station a few times before and you're right, it's massive. Are these two hotels far from the station? I'm assuming I can just take line 2 from PVG all the way to Hongqiao Station to reach the hotels?
Can you comment on what the breakfast is like?

I'm not an expert on that. I think maybe moondog will know. Hongqiao is not really that close to Pudong, which is where the tourists go.

Yeah, the iconic Oriental Tower and its Shanghai history museum are in Pudong, but it's more fun to look at it from Puxi. I don't come to China to spend time in modern shopping malls with stores selling imported merchandise.

I should clarify that I've been to Shanghai before. It's not something I do each time I go to Shanghai. My point is that most people that I know would go to see stuff like that. I'm not saying the Bund isn't a nice place to go to. It is. I've been there dozens of time. In my opinion, Shanghai probably have the best shopping experience in all of Mainland China.

Also, I am mesmerized by the food in Shanghai (and China in general) - OMG! one time I ate 36 xiaolongbao in one sitting.

Personally, I vote for the food in Hong Kong and Singapore, plus fewer concerns about food safety. In fact, Singapore is one of the few places where I will voluntarily consume stuff from street vendors (or the equivalent). The restaurants in mainland China without basic hot water and toilet facilities scare me.

Hot water? Haha, try asking for cold water in Chinese restaurant.
