Small, old room and not bright enough

I have stayed at multiple hotels in China over the years, and one thing that I like about JinJiang Inn in general is that their locations are consistent in quality. This one is conveniently located by a 7-11, near Wangfujing Road, and is fairly close to a subway station. The small cabinets provided have holes through which one could conceivably run a cable lock, which is appreciated, though I've never felt like I needed it. The cleaning staff are remarkably friendly, the rooms fairly quiet, and there is no noticeable sewer smell (a persistent problem with hotels with poorly installed plumbing in Beijing) nor stale cigarette smell. Internet is fast and consistent, and there is cable TV. They provide combs, toothbrushes, slippers, and a gym-locker style pump shampoo installed in the shower. I can't attest the the quality of any of these things, but it's nice that they are provided.

The front desk does not offer any kind of services other than check in and check out--even when you speak fluent Chinese. They will not help you find a taxi, and seem a bit overwhelmed and understaffed. They forgot to scan my passport, then came to my room to fetch it, and just never brought it back. I had to go chase it down after around 20 minutes. It could be closer to a subway station. The room is clean, but you could tell it had been used a lot. Lots of scuffs on the wall and some water damage near the AC. However, this is a clean hotel, and that outweighs any of these cosmetic issues in my opinion.

It was horrible experience and unfriendly staff.
