The hotel location is good for subway connection for PEK Airport and Gubei Watertown bus station, esp you don't need to take subway during morning rush hour, just less than 10min walking distance. The superior room size is just nice for 2 persons with luggages put on the floor. Currently no buffet breakfast as the restaurant is doing reno.
Take subway exit C at Dongzhimen Station and walk about 500m to the hotel.
The hotel near Ginza Mall, we had lunch and dinner at 1star Michelin Chinese restaurant Cui Hua Lou, nice food with reasonable price.
