I'm planning a second-to-last-minute trip to New York next month, and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for cheap and not-too-ty accomodation that is still bookable. An American equivalent to the Premier Inn (http://www.premierinn.com/en/) would do nicely.
Thanks in advance. |

| Everywhere in nyc is expensive. Fortunately, the exchange rate is definitely in your favor. Where are you going or what are you doing? Need something/where more specific. |

| You'd probably be better off staying outside of NYC in Northern New Jersey. It'd be a lot cheaper and still very easy and quick to get into the actual city. |

Just going for three or four days in the middle of the week, probably the second week of September. Two people. I'd like somewhere in Manhattan, close to all the stuff we'd like to see and do.
I'm just asking in the vague hope someone might have some inside knowledge. |

Yeah, you can stay outside Manhattan, but it's a lot of fun just being there and being able to wake up and crash without the extra hour and hassle.
Almost every non-sketchy place in Manhattan is going to have tiny (around 200sqf) rooms starting at around $300/night.
Stay away from Times Square. You'll pay more to be near the most boring place in NY. |

| Huh... well we've already found a hotel near Central Park that offers three nights for £110 per-person. |

One of my favorite memories of childhood involves waking up to walk to a Deli, Catty Corner from our hotel, and getting fresh bagels with creamed cheese and smoked salmon, for breakfast. |

Which direction?
You want to be south of it. That's kind of the dividing line for touristy stuff (among other differences) |

| Upper West Side. |

| What about looking into apartment rentals? I know they do that in tons of places in Europe...wondering if NYC offers the same kind of arrangement. |

I like staying with the people I do, in Brooklyn, but the nights I stayed @ the W on Lexington last time were awesome, for that reason. |
