Value? Chinese hotels discriminate against foreigners. FTinPRC does "provide information
on this site".

I have difficulty understanding your point. Just like Silverboy, I have never had difficulty checking into any 4 or 5 star hotel in China. I routinely feel that I receive better and more prompt service than the Chinese guests checking in or out at the same time as I am.

I have no experience regarding service at hostels and inexpensive hotels, other than to explain, as I have, that many of these are not permitted by the government to register holders of foreign passports.

I understand that you see that as a form of discrimination.

I do not.
