The location is very strategic. 50 meters from the subway station, 10 meters from a souvenir shop, 100 meters from the row of cheap eating places. staff is friendly and very helpful although limited english. we arrived at 9 am and allowed early check in. very helpful to us who are tired in flight. the rooms and lobby are very clean, tidy, and quiet. the hotel staff helped call the taxi to the airport at 1 am. highly recommended. want to go back to this hotel again when to beijing.
