I've lived in this country for almost a year, and the Media Center is still my favorite hotel in all of China. It is the main hotel for the celebrity guests who make appearances on China Central Television, right down the street. My Chinese employer arranged for me to stay at a room here for 30 days, right after I arrived from the U. S., and promised that everyone spoke English because it was a 4-star hotel. The service was great, the restaurant was fantastic, but the staffers knew about as much English as Rin Tin Tin. Watching the daily pickup basketball action outside my window behind the building almost made up for it.
