Wyndham Beijing North Hotel
The main partner the hotel is nice and clean/ the pool and all other facilities are outdated and old and not repaired, which should be for this type of hotel. Also, very far away from everything.

Wenjin Hotel
This hotel is overdue for repairs and remodeling -the carpet is so dirty that's disgusting ! In February when it's sunny outside the indoor temperature was so high that's suffocating ! And the only option for hotel guests? Open the window! Not sure what's wrong with their HVAC?
