I wasn't so sure when a friend sent me to the JW Marriott. I was expecting something akin to the Courtyard. I was actually really pleasantly surprised. The brand deserves to be counted among the Ritz's of the world. I will gin up a review of the property in Shanghai here shortly.
I think the rates are commensurate with room and service, an overall good value. Right now, they are sweetening the deal with 20% off of spa or golf activities, a $50 resort credit and free breakfast. It requires a three night stay and must be booked before August 22nd. If you're planning an excursion to escape the debt debate/debacle, and there is a JW Marriott at your destination of choice, I certainly wouldn't look past it.
