We stayed at Ibis Hotel (Beijing Chaoyang Joy City) since it was the cheapest hotel near the US Embassy when we searched Trip.com. It's about 25 minutes away from the embassy. The location, however, is very poor. The hotel is mostly used for nearby business and factories to house their guests. There are two restaurants next to the hotel, but both close at 9 PM. There's a 24-hour convenience store, as well. Food delivery is pretty quick, and a robot will deliver it to your room. There are malls not too far away, and lots of parks nearby.
The rooms were very clean, as is the hotel lobby. The beds decently comfortable. The bathrooms offer privacy with a wooden door, unlike the glass bathrooms in so many Chinese hotels. The staff is very helpful and friendly, but I don't think any of them speak English.
Besides the location, the only two cons regarding the hotel is (1) that even though it was mid-April and 80 degrees F (27 C), they refused to turn on the AC, and the room got a little warm. (2) The bathroom is clean but small, with a large sink that almost reaches over the toilet. Forget about using your left hand while on the toilet. For the second night, we asked for another room, but we were told that all of the bathrooms are the same.
If you are not in Beijing for sightseeing, this place will be fine if you have business in the Chaoyang district. But if location is important, this is not the place.
