This is a very new & modern Fairfield built in a growing IT park. 188 rooms tech-enhanced for the 6-6-9 type workers ( Huwei folks). 2 robots deliver food and mini bar amenities, plus free laundry machines with provided detergent were very convenient. Subway line 16 nearby with free hotel shuttle available to the subway station.
Stayed at Beijing Daxing Airport on December 1st. A new modern Fairfield in the park area by this modern 'country' airport. Room was only 400 RMB, but no heat in the building other than room space heaters. Similar design to the 6th ring Haidian Fairfield, & there is an free airport shuttle every 30 minutes to the PKX departure level, gate 3 (pickup is also there if you call them when arriving) A very good breakfast buffet from 6:30-10:00 with quality fruits, noodle station, pastry's,& beverages ,etc . A basic Gym on 1st floor of this 6 story hotel, and start of a food court in the basement tunnel area. Oh, BTW, the fliggy flash bonus points from Marriot were 3000 points a night, how they do this on a US$ 55 a night room with the other Mrt points ( about a 1000 a day) is still a wonder to me...
Interesting drive back to core city area of Beijing. The south side of BJ housing ghost city on the 5th & 6th ring is obvious. Real estate market crash of about 50-70% in this area. Probably why the hotel rates are also so cheap!.
