I will be going to Beijing for a conference in early June. I have made a reservation at The Great Wall Sheraton Hotel. It's a good deal. Does any one know if this is a better hotel than the nearby Hilton?
I understand that The St. Regis Beijing is rather pricy and traffic is not easy. Is this true? 
I hope someone can give me some information on this hotel (Sheraton).

I was at the Great Wall Sheraton last July. As already mentioned, it is pretty old, and it is a fair way out of town. It's basically one of those standard convention hotels - very big and not very personal service. As long as you don't request or expect anything out of the ordinary you'll be fine. I must say the rooms are quite nice though. I've had dinner at the Hilton - also pretty old, I certainly wouldn't say it'd be any better than the sheraton.
A tip for the GW Sheraton - order a cherry dacari (spell??) from the Atrium Bar. They are the best I have had anywhere in the world and they are served in like a salad bowl. Man I had two of those and they almost had to carry me upstairs :-)
