If the concept that a hotel room is meant for a
short, comfortable stay in clean and safe settings, but without
trimmings is acceptable, New York has several low priced facilities
available. They are sometimes labeled as inns or hostels.
These
so called 'cheap' hotels offer basic amenities like concierge, AC, TV,
non smoking rooms, in room alarm clock, hairdryer, laundry, iron and
ironing board, safe deposit box, shared bathrooms and parking at cost.
Some have maid service, room service and even
disabled facilities. Many may not have in house restaurants,
but there are always restaurants close by.
For
example, the SoHotel located on Broome Street is one of the oldest
hotels in the City. Rooms start at $93 a night and is located in
central downtown in the heart of Little Italy and China Town. There are
few amenities but each room does have its own bathroom. Art galleries,
museums, theaters, shops, theaters, nightclubs and trendy restaurants,
surround the area.
The Union Square Inn is also a gem for those

clean, simply furnished large rooms and is located at 209 E. 14th
Street. This boutique hotel has private, air-conditioned rooms with
