I will clean this up later, but this is the basic “Shanghai Email” I dole out on request.
I included addresses, but I suggest looking a place up on
Smartshanghai before you go and you can print the
address in Chinese to show the taxi driver.
They also have a great interactive SH street map

Needless to say there are tons of hotels in Shanghai. Below are a few between ranging between 300 to 2000RMB/night that I can vouch for.
Old House - A boutique hotel in a restored lane house in the French Concession area. Decked out with Chinese antiques, it might be a little on the romantic side for some but it’s very fair priced and a cool experience.
Lapis Casa - Another boutique hotel, minutes walk from Xin Tian Di. Less ‘couple-y’ than the above and around the same price.
Green Tree Inn - Cheap and clean. An early attempt at decent budget hotels in China. OK location and very fair for the price (about 300RMB).
JW Marriot - No one I know stayed at the JW and was displeased. It’s pricier, but you know exactly what to expect from a Marriot and some China first-timers like that.
Le Royal Méridien Shanghai - I stayed here during their soft launch early last fall. The rooms were great (including a DVD player) the hotel restaurants are good and it’s right on People’s Square. It’s pricey now, but a nice option.
FINALLY! A good reasonably-priced Japanese restaurant in Shanghai. Haiku has cool atmosphere and great food. We had an awesome meal, the spicy tuna roll rocked as did the jalapeno roll, which I might not have ordered myself but I’m glad someone did.
