Thanks for the personal recommendation. When I read the reviews on the travel sites they are both good and bad. But at least for the Ramada there are more good than bad. A shuttle would work and I would appreciate a more pleasant way to spend a few hours before I fall asleep. I haven’t booked my Xian flight so I’m flexible and could sleep in. I will have my suitcase with me so I really didn’t want the hassle of going downtown.
