It's clean, it's cheap, it has wi-fi and it's close to Penn Station.

The smell of pot from across the hall and the scrum for breakfast (think British Bulldogs with bagels) can be put up with too.

I stayed there as part of my travels:

Hotel in Lower Manhattan which has a cheap dorm room sleeping 10. Dirt cheap and perfectly acceptable. Within walking distance of everything.

Had to adjust our hotel booking due to changes to flights. The Milford hadn't been our first choice and so a hasty decision was made in booking it.

Do we regret it? Well, yes and no. It's a bit sad and needs updating so if you are after a bit of luxury, it's not the place for you. Other than that, the staff are helpful and efficient and security is very tight. The rooms, although dated, were clean and tidy.

We were out of the hotel 12- 14 hours a day so even if it was all-singing, all-dancing we wouldn't have used such facilities. Cheap and cheerful sums it up. It was very busy with guests and we weren't aware of anyone making any complaints so I guess most people were of the same mindset that it was simply a bed for the night and nothing more. We've paid more for much worse accommodation and service in the UK and other countries.

It's a great location on 8th and 45th, with so much on its doorstep. I would expect if it gets an expensive makeover in the next couple of years then the room rates will go up accordingly. Get it booked while it's still reasonable value.

Website where you can barter for a price for a hotel room. Rooms get cheaper on weekends as businesspeople stay at home. It's almost always cheaper than booking directly. You don't get to know exactly which hotel you'll be staying at - only the area. But a room's a room, innit.

It is not just a hotel telephone directory as it includes all of the hotel official contact info as well: phone, fax, email, postal address, website link.
Some hotels are featured with an additional hotel page where pictures, special offers and last minute deals are posted.
It is quite good to know that a hotel directory of this kind actually exists and that you can refer to it when tired of looking at hotel reservation services and not finding the hotel contacts!

Hotel in Times Square. This is a luxurious hotel with attentive staff that is close to major shopping and attractions. 5th avenue is right outside the door, MOMA is down the street, Broadway shows are within a 5 minute walk. They have also opened a new restaurant "Fireside". Its going to be a new dinner hotspot in NYC.

Carlton Arms Hotel is $94 for a double with themed, wacky and arty decor in rooms and corridors. Basic and friendly, it's like staying in a community arts centre. Central with sights and restaurants in walking distance.

If you want to treat yourself splash out at the W. Great location and a very cool hotel, enjoy a bit of New York chic. Alternatively visit the Whiskey bar downstairs.
