For $65 per night, you get what you pay forâa basic option for a quick one-night transit. The hotel offers limited dining options nearby, and the room has an unpleasant smell with dirty carpets. The AC was ineffective; it was initially set to 20°C, but the room was at 23°C. When I adjusted it to 18°C, the temperature rose to 25°C within 20 minutes.
After calling the front desk, a staff member came to check the settings, bringing a strong cigarette smell with him. He confirmed this is how the AC works, using a temperature gun to show the air vent at 19.4°C while the room remained at 25°C, citing the sunny exposure as the cause. The air was humid and stale, and the hotel only provided humidifiers, not dehumidifiers. I didn't try the free breakfast as I had to leave early, but the one positive aspect is its 30-minute proximity to PEK airport.
