Singapore Chess
Chess tournament in Singapore, December 24-30
http://singchess.gotdns.com/scf/general/Calendar2010.xls
TripAdvisor doesn't really list anything for these dates under $100 that sound okay. For $130-$150 there are some nice places though.
Lonely Planet's only reasonable sounding budget choice is Sleepy Sams: http://www.sleepysams.com/. A room with shared bath is $65, it is mostly a hostel, just a few private rooms. Trip Advisor says they aren't really private rooms at all, it gets pretty bad ratings considering Lonely Planet says it is the best budget option...

Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen is the highest rated hotel under $150 ($110) available over Christmas and New Years. But it is 35km away from the zoo, I'd like to maybe be closer since I envision going there at least a few times (it is one of the best zoos in the world apparently)

Chess in Morelia
It turns out the World Championship tournament of 2008 had its second stage in Morelia. So there should be some chess club or the other, but I need to learn Spanish before I figure out this confusing site about chess in Mexico. From this blogpost, however, there are pictures of outdoor chess in the city of Morelia. Promising :)
Chess in San Francisco
