Ctrip is a rip-off. Different people have different prices. On the same day, I booked 800 yuan more than my colleague.

It's a compact small hotel. The room is OK and relatively clean. Generally, Chinese people travel a lot. The Empire State Building and Times Square are relatively close to each other. The location is good.
