Positives: Very nice hotel for the price, very helpful concierge, walking distance to Tienanmen Square and the Forbidden City. Negatives: The area right around the hotel is not interesting, breakfast buffet costs >$25, we booked a more expensive room and were first not given that. When we complained this was taken care of. Staff friendly, I would stay there again.
