I have stayed at (I think) 32 RC properties worldwide. Without a DOUBT, the three worst I have experienced are the Portman Shanghai, RC Bahrain and RC Abu Dhabi. Disgusting properties I wouldn't return to for free, all of them.

I lived in Pudong during ~2001. None of my friends ever wanted to visit me there.

Man, y’all are harsh. I just skimmed the reviews cause I hate going in with negative expectations. I am staying here, Mrs. Returnoftheyetis work is paying for it. Other than that, who cares?
One real question I would love answered; do the rooms have USB charging outlets? If this is a yes, its going to save me from having to pack a bunch of adapters and chargers.

Its weird that the floor is “lumpy” and the carpet is stained.
The service is spot on though, and its the fastest room service I have ever seen.

location is good but I don't like that part of the city because of the traffic and difficulty getting taxis and to the subway. Parking is shockingly expensive so I take taxis there because the subway is too far away.

I was there last year in a Club Level room (Ritz-Carlton card certificate) and was treated extremely well by everyone. Did not get a suite. The room was nice, but not extremely luxurious. Location is very convenient for great shopping. Very good rates. Would gladly stay there again.
