"Thank you for reply and continued interest. RMB 960 is a super rate for a
Deluxe room at our beautiful Shangri-La Beijing.
I do understand that other hotels may quote less. We appreciate the
opportunity and regret that you won't be staying with us this time. Have a
good trip and we hope you'll stay with us another time.
Kind regards."


They would not budge off the USD118 rate. Offered an upgrade for that price...but could not meet my budget requirements.

Will keep searching..
