Industry and mass media experts have agreed that the best budget hotel brand in China is the Motel 168 & Motel 268 brand. The large amount of guests that frequent the hotel brand daily has surprised the industry experts and mass media. Many of the foreigners feel that Motel 168 & Motel 268 is the best luxury budget hotel in China; the MerryLin Holding Limited Company has decided to launch another budget hotel brand, which is called Ease Hotel, which opened their doors to the public in June 2006 that rapidly expanded the Ease Hotel Chain throughout China.

Ease Hotel was particularly designed to cater to the foreign tourism industry in China.

The cleanliness of the budget hotel is the top priority of this budget hotel brand along with the guest being comfortable at all times. In addition, the Ease Hotel design had never been seen in the budget hotel industry in China. Therefore, the hotel circular décor can be seen throughout Ease Hotel’s lobby, restaurant, hallways, guest rooms, bathrooms, and even the bed has a circular design. The architectural design allows people to see that the Ease Hotel brand is new and fresh. The visual circular design shows the boldness of the Ease Hotel concept in the budget hotel industry and the architect who designed the Ease Hotel made sure the inception of the circular concept in Chinese Culture was used in creating the hotels. In addition, the creators of Motel 168 intended to use the Ease Hotel chain to share the Chinese essence with the people of the world when guests stay at one of the hotels.
