New York City - accom. required

I am in Manhattan nights of the 8th and 9th of April 2009 (and am around daytime 9th, flying to Washington evening of 10th) and need some cheap accommodation. If anyone can recommend anything do please let me know.

I'll also happily speak, do school event, etc. if you buy me a burger!

I recommend the Carlton Arms Hotel in midtwon (right next to the original Gardens). Very close to the Subway/Lexington Bus. Its a bit seedy but you can get a room with your own bathroom (or for the budget consicous, share) for $80-$110 a night, cheapest on the island.

Check out http://www.carltonarms.com/ for more info.

same price, stay with the nuns. (I only ever saw one real one, in disguise). Leo House, 23rd /8th. Threadbare, but not seedy. Lots of international visitors. Great hot breakfasts. You have to FAX them, instead of emailing, but very comfy. Probably fewer bedbugs.

Fax (212) 366-6801
NO wifi, tho, you have to go down to starbucks on the corner.
