I discovered this chain when I was looking for motels for my aunt. It's call Super 8 motel or "SU BA" in putonghua and it's expanding throughout China today. It is an American chain and the focus is cheap and clean rooms.
Personally, I stayed once in Shanghai. I was amazed with the location of the hotel. Most of them time it is centrally placed near the sightseeing areas or very near to a subway! The hotel is a bit small but if you are on a shoe-string budget, no complaints! If you want slightly comfortable room, book a business executive room - above 50RMB more usually. I had even tried to tip the housekeeper and they refused to accept! How can you beat that?? You can save more! Kiasu rules!
You can book through the internet http://www.super8.com.cn/en/index_en.asp , or you can give them a call directly. I realised during off peak, you can use this trick. Call them directly, tell them you are checking prices and comparing with other motels! Guess what, 80% of the time, they will tell you they will give you more discount and cheaper than internet rates!
