Chang An Grand Hotel

Prós: The hotel is conveniently located near the subway stations and makes it easy to conduct a self-guided tour of many of the sites once one learns how to read the subway city map. The area around the hotel had a few American food restaurannts.

Contras: The room was not as clean as I would have expected from a 5-Star rated hotel. Personally I would give it 3.5-4 stars. The restaurant at the hotel had terrible service, waited 52 min for a pizza to be cooked and the staff was very inattentive.
