I just stayed here for 5 nights and want to say that I was thoroughly impressed by this property. I stayed here on points and was upgraded from a standard room to a VIP suite. Most staff speak English rather well which is not common in China. Concierge arranged a car for a Great Wall trip with a very good and well speaking driver one day prior to my excursion. Optional choice of having breakfast in the main restaurant was given and I would recommend going there. Lots of choices and great quality food. Lounge was good as well and open daily 6am to 12am. Many international guests, fewer local tourists at this hotel.
Definitely a great hotel in a good location!
