We have stayed here for both our trips. At the time we were getting an Air Canada Employee discount. Rooms were clean, nice, your typical hotel room. Included was one buffet breakfast, fairly good, lots of selection, omlette, dim sum, fruit, cereal.....
The best part of out stay there was the service! On our first trip we were there over my B/F's birthday. When we checked we gave the desk our passport...well they noticed that it was his birthday, and on his bday when we returned to the room after a day of shopping there was a cake with "Mr. Sutherland Happy BIrthday" written on it!!! We met some people while out and about and went to their room for a drink before dinner. That was when we realized not all the rooms were as nice as ours...we had also been upgraded to the corner room, with a couch, maybe a Jr Suite? That treatment cememnted where we will be staying on all our visits. the New World Courtyard Bejing A Marriott Hotel.

I stayed on business on the Executive Floor. By western standards it was old and dilapidated. It was on the cusp of dirty but just liveable. I bathed in a detol bath if that is an indication and I have never done that before, mainly due to the do not drink the water notice in the bathroom. Executive Club level was ok, nibbles, beer and wine a plenty, breakfast was so, so. They could not speak English. Front desk was very helpful, friendly and courteous where the English was better. There are large floor to ceiling columns in the foyer, I mean BIG round columns making clear visibility for the front desk to all parts of the big foyer very difficult. It made certain people hanging around in the foyer, well hard to see. These people would ask if you required certain services. People your wife may not approve of should they end up alone in your room. As I said, there are Big columns in the foyer making visibility difficult and so I do not criticise the management for the people being there. I would give them the benifit of the doubt. I would score the hotel 6/10.
Great location, right on a subway, big shopping center and a modern English speaking doctors surgery in same building. I got sick and needed their help, 10/10. If you are disabled, don't try the subway, you just won't get to a train with mostly steps/few escolators. Get all your destinations written in Chinese, expect a blank look when you say Tianimen Square, taxi drivers like most Chinese don't speak English. Don't rely on your Visa or Mastercard. I had a BP/Citibank Mastercard which was refused in big department stores which took Mastercard. Think of it this way, if you owned a shop and someone walked in with a Mastercard with only Chinese writing on it, would you take it? Cash, cash cash, but even then, get it on;y where you can trust. I had an argument with my taxi driver at the airport when I was leaving because he swore I was giving him counterfit money. It took three other taxi drivers to convince him, it was genuine.
