The staff was always very helpful. Taxi service was good.
Besides the hotel restaurants, there are not too many food options s. TGIF is by the hotel. There is a mall 1 km away, close to the convention center, with fast food and a Costa (coffee place). Metro station is close, walking is safe.

Great Suites, Great Sweets
Make sure you are placed in the same type of room you have reserved and you may find yourself quite comfortable. Huge breakfast buffet makes for a great start to the day.

Good hotel, but subpar location.
Experience was good. But the location of the hotel in relation to the city is kind of far. I found myself taking a cab more often than I wanted. The bike is the best way to travel in Beijing.

Disappointing.
Unfortunately changed room 4 or 5 times due to the sheer noise of the building work going on in the hotel. If I had known that there would be this building work going on, I wouldn't have stayed.
One of my room changes moved me to a room which smelt like an ash tray. Absolutely terrible stay.
Shower had hair in it.
On my final evening. I got back to my room to find my room door wide open. Apparently the cleaners forgot to close the door!!!! All my belongings were open for the taking.

Nice Hotel close to Olympic park.
I was in Beijing for a conference at the China national convention centre at Olympic park. The Hotel was a 20min pleasant walk through the Olympic park each day. The Hotel was clean and neat, although most of the reception staff had limited english there was always at least one staff member close by who could.
The closest subway station is also about 20min away again in the Olympic park. (The subway is a great & cheap way to get around Beijing. All the ticket machines can be changed to English, and all signage in the subway also has english on it.
Overall had a gray stay at the Grand Skylight Hotel

Good location adjacent to Olympic Park
This hotel is in a great location relative the Olympic Park. Communication with the staff in english was challenging beyond the very basic. I requested a non-smoking room. While there were no indicators that the room was a smoking room (ash tray) there was a distinct odor of smoke. The room was comfortable but well worn in. The lobby restaurant was great for breakfast, many choices.

Adjacent to Birds Nest Stadium
Currently undergoing phased renovation. Executive room was large enough. Breakfast buffet is Asian and Western, so you'll be sure to find something that suits you. Need to get get back to the hotel and don't speak Mandarin? Draw a picture of the stadium -- it helped every cabbie, even when provided with the address in Mandarin. About 1 hr. and <100 RMB taxi to/from the airport.

Nice Hotel - Mediocre Service
I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. The space was good and I appreciated the view. The staff had a limited command of English but I don't count this against the hotel (you're in the middle of Beijing after all) but I note it for non-Mandarin speakers. My main criticisms of the hotel are:
1. No 'do-not-disturb' signs. While I was adjusting to the time change, I was woken up several days/times by the maid service. I had no way to indicate to them not to clean the room and they were very persistent in ringing the bell. The first day, the maid argued with me and did not want to go away when I asked her to come back later.
2. On my final night, I spoke the concierge to arrange a cab to take me to the airport the next day. When I checked-out the next day, they had no record of my arrangements - it turned out not to be a big deal since I was able to get a cab in a few minutes but it could have turned into a real hassle.

Nice hotel and near to olympic park
The check in was fast. At first I stay at 8th floor. However, there is construction work at the hotel. I was very noise. When I complain, they change my room to upper floor. Overall the hotel and room was nice. But if you want to buy some item at convini store, it a bit far.

Balanced hotel with great view on the Olympic Stad
Stayed 3 night during a tradeshow at the nearby convention center. The location required a 20 min walk morning and evening but being located right behind the famous Beijing Olympic Stadium ("The Nest") this felt like going for a tourist tour although I was going to work.
The hotel is clean and modern but is clearly aimed at Chinese business travelers. In my (business class) room, there was a full Chinese tea set, normally used when discussing business deals with customers!
The TGI Fridays at the first floor makes it possible to eat Western food (for those with that type of craving) but you must walk or take a cab to find Chinese food.
Finally, the only deficiency during the stay was the non-functioning air-conditioning... but I usually don't bother with it so for me it was a non-issue but could be an issue for others.

perfect location
eating in the restaurants is a bit pricey, and service takes a bit too long for my liking; TFI Fridays adjacent is a good bonus for Westerners needing a taste of home
location is great, I found I could get to where i needed very quickly
Westerners tend to get given the smaller rooms; I have a Chinese wife and found on our second visit there she was given a much larger room (separate sitting area) at the same price
(room) cleaners are really helpful and friendly - the reception staff could learn a thing or two from them
