Decent Hotel, Tricky To Find (DIRECTIONS HERE)
The hotel is clean; the building is old but well-maintained. My room had a hot shower, towels, a hot water heater, four mugs, a bar of soap, toilet paper to bring with me to the hole in the floor down the hall, slippers, and a TV. I had the heater set to max but the room was never hot. I slept with socks and bulky clothing and felt warm that way. (I stayed in March) The room was filled with frosted windows so when it was light outside, the room was pretty lit up (bring eyeshades). Also it faced the courtyard and could be loud (bring earplugs).
LOCATION! The location is great, but is difficult to find - narrow roads and cabs don't really fit. Here are the directions I wish I had... Have a cab take you to Kings Joy Hotel on No. 81 Meishi Street. (Print the name/address in Chinese.) When facing King's Joy, walk left. Take the first right at the 50 km/hour sign (which will be at the second blue "public restroom" sign). When you get to the first fork in the road, go left. Then hug the right until you see that big white circular sign on the left.
I rated this hotel with 3/4/5 stars, not because I think it is a 3/4/5 star hotel, but because for it's category of being a budget hotel for Chinese travelers, it was quite satisfactory. It's a 1-star hotel, but if you're on a budget, it's just fine.
