Hi robr , Having noted that you registered many moons ago , welcome , it is very hard to point you in any direction if little is known about you like age etc , even what country you are from , many 3 star type hotels will not take anyone from out of country as guests and as any day of the week you can have millions of Chinese traveling on holidays you will have to plan a little ahead as to where you might be heading , the more we know the more we can help , but generally apart from the major holiday times 4 star hotels are very cheap through ctrip.com or via the Trip Advisor website , regards Sujuan and Robert .
