The staff were fine, but this is not a place you would want to stay for any reason except that you need a room reasonably close to the Beijing airport for the night. Everything about it is run down, it smells, the wallpaper and carpet are stained, the entire location and aesthetic are strictly industrial park, etc. It is not funky in a good sense, or the kind of one room shack where you expect dirt floors and it's sort of charming; it passes itself falsely off as being up to American or European standards, and while an effort is made to keep it clean, the place is a depressing wreck. It is certainly affordable, sort of close (15-20 minute taxi ride from airport, although they have a free shuttle from the airport - IF you can find it; I couldn't, although they did drive me back to the airport), but other than that, it is what it is.
