sarahiki Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel in NY for the budget-minded traveller? This budget-minded traveller is a female traveling alone, so I'm not interested in seedy dives. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticaFlinch Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Where in New York? Does it have to be Manhattan, or will one of the other boroughs or New Jersey work as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gto250us Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Upper West Side try The Lucerne Hotel - 201 West 79th midrange and $200-250. It is New York.Midtown try Park South Hotel - 122 East 28th St. $250-280.You'll probably find cheaper but as you say you get in diver territory.

kylejack Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Definitions of seedy vary so much. I stayed in a place that I found perfectly fine, but I have no doubt some would call it seedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new major on the block Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Definitions of seedy vary so much. I stayed in a place that I found perfectly fine, but I have no doubt some would call it seedy. You could always try a hostel. I stayed at one for a week back in may, The Village Inn, it wasn't seedy. Was like $41 dollars a night or so. It was a great place and great location in the east village. Not exactly a place for privacy cause you share your room with up to 5 other people but there are lockers and they keep the upkeep very well. Most who go there are forigners from europe so it makes for interesting conversations. I plan to use it again the next time i visit NYC. And its right around the block from the green and yellow lines. And a 24hr Rays pizza place sits on the corner Another great feature is the new Cooper Union Bldg is right there too, good architecture imo. Only catch is you need a passport to stay there but you cant beat the prices for Manhattan, you'd save more money staying there and have enough to spend on other things.

travelguy_73 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have had good luck at the Hampton Inn in Chelsea on W 24th. Good balance between cost, convenience, and cleanliness.http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60763-d268216-Reviews-Hampton_Inn_Manhattan_Chelsea-New_York_City_New_York.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmer Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I stayed at the Edison just off Times Square in the 80's. It was clean and reasonable but not fancy. It is right next door to the then Edison Theatre where Oh Calcutta, the nude musical, was playing back in the 70s and 80s. Looks like they're still there, and in the $250-$260 range. If you want to be right there in the Times Square area that looks like a good choice. Hotel Edison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
