Fairfield by Marriott Beijing Daxing Airport
Airport shuttle driver not helpful at all. Car was dirty and not very representative of the marriot chain. Ac didn’t work. We had heater in the room but hotel was cold. We had a free hotel from the airline but decided to take a Marriot instead. We don’t think it was up to the expectations
