ManXin Qianmen Courtyard Hotel
Clean room, very small for two people. Breakfast could use some work in making it more intercontinental. Did not like a limited Chinese options.

Peace Hotel Beijing
The property was central enough for shopping and tourist activities. Walking distance from the metro station. We were placed in the old side of the hotel so wasn’t pleased about that.
