A
BKLYN House Hotel
There are works by Brooklyn artists in this hotel. The 116 rooms are of great value and Manhattan is only 20 minutes away by taxi or subway. The immediate surroundings feel urban—the hotel is by a high-rise public housing project while the nearest commercial street is under elevated(高的)subway tracks—but Bushwick’s best bars and cafes/restaurants are near-by.

Archer Hotel
Visitors eager to stay in the heart of Manhattan should try one of the bargain-priced rooms at this hotel. Some start from as low as $179 a night (if prepaying in full). Rooms are small but tasteful with nice touches such as exposed brick. Some have close-up views of the Empire State Building.

Pod 39 Hotel
In an elegant brick building in Manhattan's Murray Hill, this excellent budget(预算)option opened following the success of its sister hotel, The Pod.

CitizenM New York Times Square
This is the first US location for a Netherlands-based concept hotel chain—CitizenM. The hotel features self check-in at its 230 little but comfortable rooms via touch screen “Mood-Pads”. There’s a rooftop bar, a 24-hour grab-and-go cafeteria and an area with public iMac workspaces.
