Beijing Mentougou Hulinren Ruins Hotels

"Nice quiet stay for a visit to nearby family. Everything was fine for my visit, staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help. Command of English was poor, however I managed fine using Google translate. "

"It’s a holiday inn so you know what you’re getting. The room wasn’t so bad, nice bathrooms and not many options in that area for foreigners. My issue is they were doing construction and it wasn’t mentioned when I booked. One of the days they shut off the power while I was in the building. The first day they were repaying and messed up my brand new shoes. My wife and I had cement on our stuff. Was insanely dusty and dirty because of construction. Should really have been mentioned before any booking. Also did not offer early check in or for me to leave my bags there like most hotels do. My taxi driver didn’t think they were open because of all the work done outside the building and area Not exactly cheap stayed at insanely nice places rest of my trip in china for around the same price. It is close to the subway station and 2 malls which is nice. Maybe would rate it higher if it didn’t have the construction. Ended up moving to a James Joyce near by for $20 cheaper and overall way better experience. "

"The hotel itself is very nice and clean The staff are very friendly with the exception they really don't speak any English so even the simplest things they don't understand I did pick the property because it said they speak both English and Chinese but they're English is very very limited if at all and then even in all of China when you use a app to translate to Chinese they still can look at you funny and don't really understand it so I'm not sure what the translation does but it's not as accurate as it should be I guess but the rest of the property is at one point was probably very beautiful but they don't really keep it up it's like they just fired their landscaper 3 weeks ago and things are overgrown but it's a beautiful property if it was maintained better but it seems like most of the places I was in in China are the same way where they don't weed or cut grass in certain areas where they should to make it look pretty it's not a deal breaker it's just odd that they don't maintain that better."
