7Days Inn, the first economy chain hotel in Guangzhou, has opened its first outlet in the city. The no-frills hotel offers 130 rooms, but no lobby and no other entertainment facilities except for a simple breakfast.

As a celebration during its grand opening, 7Days Inn has provided 88rmb per room per night for new customers and members.

There are 130 rooms in the hotel, but no lobby and no other entertainment facilities except for a simple breakfast. However, the hotel claims that the beds in the hotel are up to the standard of those in 4-star and 5-star hotels.

After this first outlet in Guangzhou, 7Days Inn is planning to open its second outlet in Shenzhen. By the end of this year, it will open another six outlets in both Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

It will also enter into the Beijing market, where two new outlets have been scheduled, and where it will compete more directly with domestic and international budget chains like Super 8 and Motel168.
