Affordable hotels in NYC?
Does anyone know of any affordable hotels in NYC that are also decent enough to stay for a night? I don't really care where exactly as long as the next subway station is a close walk.

Re: Affordable hotels in NYC?
define affordable.
also - what night of the week are you going?
It will be in December, between the 8th and the 15th sometime. I can adjust the date. I am thinking it will be cheaper on a weekday.
If it could be $150 max for two people, that would be good.
Ditto PP.
NYC hotels are expensive but they are insanely expensive during the Christmas season. The hotel we stayed at last weekend (Saturday/Sunday) is $150 more on a Monday in December.
If you go mid-week, you might be able to stay for around 200/night. but remember there are all kinds of add-ons taxes and surcharges. I'd probably stay in Jersey and jsut take the train in.
If you are Ok w/ staying in a more "hostel" type environment and don't need a bathroom in your room, I think 150 or less is doable.
December is impossibly expensive. The only time we ever went in December, we stayed in Jersey City and took the Path in. I'm not sure I would necessarily recommend Jersey City, but it was doable.
Even in the summer, which is "down season" for NYC, we're paying $160 a night next month for a hotel in the Financial District.

Ditto all of the above. I didn't want to be a Debbie Downer, but from the moment I read this I was thinking day trip or Jersey for the night if you want to keep the price that low. You might get insanely lucky on Priceline if you're really flexible; but even then you're unlucky to get *that* lucky. Anywhere that you find for that price is probably not going to be somewhere you'd want to spend the night.

yeah - I did a quick look at Kayak and they give alot of quotes for the Bronx and/or Harlem. I know those both have good areas, but I don't knwo them well enough to risk staying at hotel there.
Well, Columbia is more or less in Spanish Harlem, so if you find anything right around there - say within a small handful of blocks of Broadway and 116 (don't go over to Amsterdam or much farther north unless you have more interesting recreational tastes than I'd realized) you might be okay. There's also Brooklyn. Within Manhattan the best rates I've found in recent years at a decent hotel were at the Millenium Hilton near ground zero; but that was still well north of $150.
