I want to go shopping and don't want to pay for parking. So I figure
if I stay at a hotel near a Metro station or stay at a hotel really
close to the shopping with free parking, it will be a cheaper holiday
for me.
The Metro doesn't really service many of the tourist areas (except
Universal Studios) does it?
