View of the inside of Motel One photographed in Berlin, Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2007. Berlin's Mayor Klaus Wowereit once famously described his eternally broke city as 'poor, but sexy.' A new crop of sleek budget hotels are betting that economy minded tourists and business travelers like it that way. Berlin Tourism Marketing research shows that between January and July of 2007, the number of overnight stays in Berlin increased by 11.4 percent compared with the year before. Forty percent of these visitors are younger than 35-years-old, a group particularly sensitive to budget and trends. (AP Photo/Franka Bruns)
