A great hotel room is easy to find in New York, but a room that's both adequate and affordable, now that's a rarity. Check out some of our picks for a place to lay your head when you're in the Big Apple.
Hotel 17 is a standby for our New York trips. It's shabby, but clean and offers rooms without bathrooms at discounted rates.
The trendy Ace Hotel offers a "Cheap Full" option. We spotted $99 a night for a midweek rate in March.
If you're in the know and know a business traveler with a password, Club Quarters has a few hotels in NYC.
A failproof technique is to look for low cost hotels on Tripadvisor that sit fairly high in the rankings. The reviews can be spotty with the occasional whiner who wanted something for nothing. Listen to those who warn of bedbugs, but take the rest with a grain of salt. Some good contenders we spotted were the Chelsea Lodge, Pod Hotel, and the Bed and Breakfast Mont Morris.
