If your ship is at Wusongkou, this is the sensible night. IHG says breakfast is free, 7:00 to 10:00, and Line 3’s Baoyang Road station is about 0.5 km away.
The terminal is about 2.4 km from our pin — a short cab, not a walk. Check-in is 14:00, per IHG, an hour earlier than most here.
Wrong terminal? Then it’s the wrong hotel. The North Bund is about 16.5 km south.

- You want breakfast in the rate
- You land early and want a 14:00 check-in
