It's me again. I'm getting ready for this trip as it is now just at a month away. Some updates:

1. I have a multiple entry Chinese transit visa in hand. Thanks for the counsel to do this. It's added a lot of peace of mine. Especially since...

2. I found out today that China Southern has changed the time of my URC to OVB flight so that I will now miss my original connection. The next flight? 2 days later.

So, I now need some help locating a hotel in Urumqi/Urumchi (URC) for my two day layover on the way to OVB. I'd prefer a chain I'm familiar with and with a late check out option since my flight is not until 7 p.m. the night I fly. Free shuttle to the airport would be great.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
