I have a new criteria when booking hotels for one or two nights when I just need a place to sleep.  From now on I want parking, internet and breakfast included in the room price.  After being hit up for $18 for parking plus another $15 for internet for an overnight stay at the Hilton San Francisco Bayfront where we literally checked in at midnight and checked out at 8:00 am the next morning, I finally realized that we could do better and save money by booking a lower star hotel.  I usually book through Expedia.com and now look for more budget hotels that provide the big three; free parking, internet and breakfast.  Found the Hampton Inn and Suites in Oakland and was totally satisfied with our stay here.  The rooms were clean and offered everything we needed at a good price.  These rooms are set up perfectly with a nice desk area and a charging station in the middle of the two queen beds.  Yes....a charging station with two outlets.  How many times have I looked for an outlet for my phone and laptop only to find one behind a table across the room.  This little charging station made my day.  Finally somebody understands the customer.  Also liked the small portable desktop that was set on the bed and the complimentary coffee and tea in the room.  Soap and Shampoo provided along with a nice note stating that if you forgot your toothbrush, shaving creme, razor or something else the hotel would provided it for free.  There was free coffee and apples in the lobby plus a nice full breakfast bar that included waffles, eggs with ham, cereals, yogurt, fruits and more.  This Hampton was super clean and had everything you need for a nice nights stay.
