Q: Any one ever been denied at a Home Inn?

I just returned from a few days in lovely Zibo, where I was denied a hotel room at a Home Inn.  Luckily the Hanting next door was accommodating.   I realize not all hotels/motels are allowed to house foreigners, but I thought Home Inn was beyond that.  Apparently not.  So, have you ever been denied lodging at Home Inn or any of the other Chinese chains?

i have been refused entry in Chongquing. Tried to get in with a mixed group of Chinese and ex-pats. ex-pats were turned away so we all left

It's strange, I thought that HI is the national model for hotels.  They're all decent enough, so I don't understand why foreigners wouldn't be admitted nationwide.

Happened to me several times. It happened last week in Beijing too. Apparently, all those cheap hotels have a hard time getting a license that would allow them to host foreigners. Or maybe it would be too expensive for them to get one.

Wait, today's Friday!  A little early this week, eh?

Yes, in Urumqi.

Went to another one near People Park and no problem.

That was lucky because if you have to be in Urumqi you want to be near that big park.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
