Inexpensive Hotels in New York City
New York has such a grand reputation throughout the entire world yet “inexpensive” is typically not part of that reputation. So how does one participate in the New York experience without spending an arm and a leg? In other words, how do we find inexpensive ways to enjoy New York? There are ways. And there are inexpensive hotels in New York City that will help with a bargain adventure.
Following are just a few of them. We will loop back often to provide more cheap hotels in New York City as we uncover them.
Red Carpet Inn in Brooklyn, 980 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn. It’s not a great hotel but if you need an inexpensive hotel and need to be in Brooklyn, close to LaGuardia Airport, this one will do just fine.
Gershwin Hotel, 7 East 27th St. This place is magical. The outside of the hotel is a bright red experience. It has great proximity to shopping, and other tourist attractions. What is interesting about the Gershwin is their flexibility with rooms and room rates. They have set aside a few rooms in their hotel for bargain rooms with bunk beds and a shared bath. It’s hard to get any more inexpensive than that. They also have rooms with barebones design and barebones pricing.
The Maritime Hotel, W 16th Street. Built in the 60’s, this hotel is obviously inspired by maritime design styles. Portholes serve as all the room windows. It does not provide a contemporary or upscale look but will be a fun escape nevertheless. If you select this hotel, you will be in Chelsea just two blocks away from the Meat Packing District.
Continental Hostel, 330 W. 95th Street. If you are interested in going the route of the Hostel, the Continental Hostel may be a good choice for you. Their rates are downright cheap. We have heard of rooms being let for $20 per night. Hard to find a more inexpensive hotel in New York than that.
The Williamsburg Hostel, 318 Bedford Ave #2. Located in Brooklyn, East Village, The Williamsburg Hostel gets rave reviews with low dorm prices. It’s clean, accommodating and has great customer service. If you don’t mind sharing a bathroom with about 5 other folks, you should check out this place. It’s very inexpensive.
Comfort Inn Central Park West, 31 West 71st St. As a chain the Comfort Inn properties offer cheap room rates. Also, as a chain, they do not provide the greatest experience. However, the Comfort Inn in Central Park is a relatively inexpensive hotel in New York and is in a great location in Upper West Side Manhattan. We found rates as low as $270 which for a hotel in Central Park is quite inexpensive.
MAve Hotel, 27th and Madison. As we have mentioned before on this site, the MAve Hotel is quite inexpensive. It too had an excellent location near the East Village. We have found room rates there to be as low as $120 a night.
