Park Plaza Beijing Science Park

The location was convenient, very near the metro and local shops/resturants. The public spaces were clean and attractive, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was about average for the price range. The room had a kettle and there was tea, coffee, sugar and whitener supplied daily, along with two bottles of drinking water.

The room was much too hot, and in winter it seems that the air conditioning can only heat, so the staff were unable to do anything about it. Despite the chilly conditions outside and having my window permanently open as far as it would go, the room remained too hot to sleep confortably. The reception area had a lot of seats, but the majority were reserved for cafe customers (and most were usually empty). You would be asked to move if you sit on one of those and decline to buy something. There were only four seats for general use when waiting to meet someone, and they were often all in use. Also, I was surprised at how old the TV was - it had no HDMI connecter which prevented me using it as a second screen for my laptop.
