Affordable and Friendly Beijing Hotel on Ring Road
Our room was very clean, modern and the staff was helpful in writing destinations in Chinese for us. Also, they have preprinted cards to help your get to various destinations while you're out and about in Beijing. The cards are in English and Chinese and they also have a side that will tell the taxit driver to take us to the hotel. It was a great resource.
The complimentary buffet had both Chinese and American staples and is well worth filling up on before a day of excessive walking.
Also, the rooms had a great safe and HBO and CNN came in in English.
There are no hairdryers though but a socket for razors only. The showers flood a little but if you do not turn it on full blast and aim it at the curtain, not the wall, you'll reduce the flood. :)
Also, we were given complimentary water everyday for brushing your teeth, comp. combs, comp. toothbrushes and paste, and comp. shampoo/soap. There is a spa in this hotel that will blow your mind. $11usd for 45 minute foot and calf massage, although I recommend the females over the males and $6usd for a pedicure and I don't believe there was a massage over $40, it was incredible and relaxing. You will need the foot massages after hiking the Great Wall. :)
There is a business room where you can send emails back home or fax docs.
Gift shop is pricey but they're open until 11pm so that's convenient.
There's a convenience store w/in a 5 minute walk and McDonald's w/in a 10 minute walk.
