Well, by all, I mean around 15? But truth be told, I did get non-DCC transactions at all the hotels I've been to in the recent two years, and they do all use BoC terminals at front desk.

Also, my observation is that this BoC-terminal-at-front-desk and BoCommunication-terminal-at-restaurants thing is cross chain. Westin Financial Street has this setup, Ritz Carlton Financial Street has this setup, IC Financial Street has this setup. I can name a lot more out of my mind now. The only time I ran into BoCommunication terminals were at Holiday Inns, both in Beijing and Shijiazhuang.

Well, that is only my observation. And the reason I post this "conclusion" is only because I hope my observation can be put into a bigger, complete picture that will benefit all FTs in regards to using CC and avoiding DCC in China. Please do not misunderstand my intention.
