I'm seeing Scissor Sisters at the Bowery. I found a cheap bus from DC to NYC for $35 roundtrip (those Chinese buses!)...need info on affordable NYC motel or even hostel?
-
Chelsea Star Hotel (http://starhotelny.com/)
It's near Madison Square Garden, Penn Station and a bunch of subway stops. I've stayed there a couple of times and it's great.
-
Yes, it's right next door to crackhouse alley...
-
The HoJo on Houston is nice, and usually has rooms available at a discount short notice. I don't know what your definition of "affordable" is in NYC, but it's worth checking out.
-
I don't know what night your show is, or what you consider cheap, but I always get a 4 star hotel in NYC through hotwire.com for $150 or less.

I've traveled to NYC alone several times and have never had any problems in that area. That area is always populated, especially if there's a show or game at MSG.
Though, aren't you the one whose parents wouldn't let stand outside the 9:30 Club? :p

why not just stay in the chelsea hostel?

Hotel Pennsylvania right across from Penn Station is decent. A little on the worn side but safe and clean. http://hotelpenn.com. (http://hotelpenn.com.) If you book about 2 weeks in advance you can get about $150/night. Not sure what you consider cheap though. If you can go a little higher, try Hotel Metro (http://hotelmetronyc.com, it's 35th and 5th or thereabouts. I stay there most of the time when I go to NYC--- not the Ritz but not bad!

Hotel Carter, 41st street? right off Broadway (down the street from the times square nypd) little run down, but ideal location
-
Check out Hotel 31 (shared bathrooms, but they are well maintained - I had no problems or gross outs) and the Fitzpatrick. Ask for the AAA discount, they wont ask for a card or #, they'l just give you 10% off. If Hotel 31's website claims it is full, check Travelocity or Expedia, it sells rooms to online consolidators.

This place is pretty good, in a decent part of town at Madison and E. 27th $109 acc. to the site. Very doable and reasonable. Not like you're going to be spending alot of time in your hotel room, anyway ...

Well, if you survive the bus ride from Chinatown D.C. to Chinatown NY, then why don't you get a room at a youth hostel? When I was in NYC some time ago I took the International Youth Hostel on 103rd street just one block away from the Central Park. It has shared bedrooms though, but if you're just going to sleep there it's enough I guess. I payed $33 for a night, if you are a member at the International youth hostel (they are scattered all over the States) you pay even less.

Haven't any of you people heard of hotwire.com?
Why stay in a shitty hotel for $150 when you can get a 4 star hotel for the same price?
-
What about the Graybar Hotel? Low rates, plus free continental breakfast.

I've stayed here many times. Extremely basic but clean and safe. If they are booked, try their sister hotel: Portland Square Hotel
-
this place is on SOHO/chinatown - i have stayed there. its not 4 star by any means, but it isn't a crackhouse either....mostly foreign young people staying there (cuz its cheap and in a good spot..just 2 blocks from the subway) - i stayed in a room that had a shared bathroom, but you can get ones that have private (for more money of course)

do you work for them?

try NY Inns (http://www.nyinns.com). They have a few hotels in different parts of the city. ive only stayed at the union square one (right next to the beauty bar) and the upper west side. they aren't too expensive, and if you wanna pay even less you can do the whole shared bathroom/shower thing to bring the costs down. if you want to stay in queens (LIC), theres a hotel there that i got for 62$ a night. comfort inn long island city (w/AAA discount). and you can hop on the NRW7? and it will get you right into the city. not sure about those lines, but i think those are the correct ones.
any other ?s. i live in NYC at the moment.

Not at all. But the last two times I've booked through hotwire, I've gotten this place
http://new-york-barclay.intercontinental.com/ (http://new-york-barclay.intercontinental.com/)
for $140/night. Certainly a better place than some of the links I've clicked on which had comparable prices.

>>> Gotta agree with the Chuckster on this one........this is my idea of "roughing" it!.....I will look into this on my next trip to NYC.....last time I was there I stayed at the Marriot Rennasiance on Broadway......pretty damn steep,but well worth it.....
-
I have to agree. If you are able to get a good rate, Priceline or hotwire is the way to go. I've stayed in some really great places that way. But if one of those sites won't accept your price (which has happened to me during peak season), then go with one of the others.
