Beijing, here I come! I took a taxi from the airport to get here. Cars aren't allowed inside the hotel premises. There are officers (hat uncles, as in police) at the entrance checking IDs. It's not far to walk in. Luggage goes through security upon entry. Check-in was quick. A crucial reminder: before checking in, make sure to book your spot to watch the flag-raising ceremony via the dedicated mini-program. The only reason I stayed here was for the convenience of having to go through only one security check to get to the ceremony. But if you haven't booked your flag-raising viewing slot in advance through the mini-program, then staying here is a waste. I'm a prime example of that. After checking in at the front desk, they give you a small national flag, which adds a nice touch to the experience. Dinner was good, and the buffet breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
