This was a very normal stay at a Holiday Inn Express. Because it's a good example of the kind of stay I expected, I rate it highly.
The ONLY part that didn't work for me, is that Google Maps has two locations for this hotel, and only one of them actually exists. Assuming you're coming from the Capital Airport, your taxi will arrive on Leiguangying Road, headed east. you'll see a large hospital called Beijing Ditan Hospital on your right. what you want to do, is turn right at the light - that's Jingshun E Street. You'll see the Outpatient Entrance on your right, and the Holiday Inn Express that DOES exist will be on your left. It's about a block from the Intersection, and you'll pass a 7-11 on your left before you get there.
i saw other reviewers also saying their taxi drivers had a hard time figuring out where the hotel was, so be prepared - the last 300 meters are the hard part!
When you arrive, everything else will be fine.
I especially appreciate Holly at the check-in counter. She had very good English (the other people I spoke to did, also), and arranged for my taxi quickly and accurately when I checked out. much better than trying to hail a taxi on the street!
