They claimed our reservation was canceled, but offered to rent us a room for twice the price (over $100/night), which was way overpriced. We immediately used the internet to book elsewhere and took a taxi. This is an OLD hotel in a poor relatively undeveloped part of the city. The photos are misleading and appear to be taken when the hotel was new. Rusted out, it is now in poor condition, and mosquitos were biting when we were in the lobby. Even getting a taxi was difficult as the hotel is on a less well traveled street. The hotel is Chinese standard (not up to US standards) with nonsensical step/stair placement, squatter lobby toilets, a lack of maintenance, and less than reasonable cleaning. We never saw a room - the front of the property already turned us off. We ended up staying on Changan next to a subway station and close to Silk Market which offered much better accommodations for around $25 more a night. This hotel may be okay for young people who are exploring, or natives accustomed to low Chinese standards, but for this sexagenarian American couple, we need something better and more convenient. Unilaterally canceling our reservation without notice is unforgivable, even if it turned out for the better.
