Thanks for your question, dear Angela. Your hotel is far away from downtown Beijing, and it isn't on our way to the attraction in the morning either. Besides, we cannot require other clients to spend at least one hour additionally on the bus for taking you. So, I am sorry you have to go through your ways to one nearby assembling places or hotels we offered in the mail. BTW，Days Hotel Beijing New Exhibition Center locates near the Airport Subway Line, and other transportations to downtown Beijing are really convenient. Please check the ways we provided in the mail. Thanks very much for your understanding!
