My husband and I chose this as a cheap one-night option for visiting some friends in town on business. The location was perfect and the fact that they had FREE PARKING definitely sealed the deal - the parking even accommodated our big pickup truck! The rooms aren't the nicest ever, but they didn't make my skin crawl like some cheap-o hotels I've stayed in before. I actually loved the fact that it was in Chinatown; so much diversity, movement, markets! Upon stumbling back to our hotel that night we even discovered a hole-in-the-wall burger and pizza joint across the street. We walked into Sam's Burgers and Pizza to discover it was recommended by Anthony Bourdain on his show "The Layover." Not only are the burgers county fair worthy, but the mix of people coming in and out was so much fun! I made friends with an Algerian who spoke French and is often confused for Russian. Ha! You never know what you'll get in the City on the Bay. One downside to the motor inn: they say breakfast included, but that translates to "two packaged honey buns sitting on the table in your room." Oh well, you saved on parking and now you can splurge on breakfast out!
