Thx for the information! Gosh, they're expanding so fast.

Thx for the information! Gosh, they're expanding so fast. Even the list above isn't up-to-date anymore. For example, the Chongming branch listed as "to be opened soon" has already started operations in 07. I spent a night there in Oct 07, and have nothing to complain about.

Their 168 RMB special room rate, albeit not offered in every branch, is just wonderful. It's cheaper than some youth hostels, and offers even more than many 3* hotels. They accept international credit cards, and in most of the branches there's a restaurant serving Chinese and Western food.

I hope they won't make the same mistake as the Jinjiang Inn chain that has begun to ail due to insufficient maintenance of their rooms. Hitherto, most of the Motel 168s are still relatively new. I'd be interested to see the condition of their rooms in about 3 years.
