Holiday Inn Express Beijing Temple of Heaven by IHG
Hotel is walking distance to temple of heaven and subway. Breakfast is plentiful of choices. Free laundry is bonus. The beds we have though hard and bathroom is flooded due to how bath tub was installed, still a good hotel due to staff friendliness and customer service.

Liuli Tile Courtyard Hotel Tian Anmen Wangfujing Houhai
Room is small. Location is not that convenient. The property conditions need to be improved for that price. Breakfast has very little options.
