New York City: Herald Square Hotel (xx)

I stayed at their sister property (Herald Square Hotel) about two years ago. It was a good, basic hotel. Nothing fancy, but clean and decently priced. We did notice that there were some rooms on the ground floor that had shared bathrooms--just make sure you have a private one if that matters to you. I haven't repeated my visit to this hotel (or to Portland) because whenever I called, they seemed to require a 2-night minimum on weekends, and I'm usually just there for one night. I don't think you can go wrong with their prices--I just did a quick check on Travelocity, and most rooms are starting at $250+ that weekend.

For inexpensive (yet centrally located) Manhattan hotels, try: Ramada New Yorker, Portland Square Hotel, Herald Square Hotel, and Milford Plaza. All have their own websites where you can book rooms. None of those hotels have particularly pretty rooms (they are old and run-down), but they are reasonably priced, and most have private bathrooms (Herald Square has some rooms with shared baths, I believe). The public spaces (lobby, restaurants) look a bit better than the rooms.
