<p>Do you all know of any cheap hotels around campus for Reception Day?</p>
<p>anyone? 10char</p>
<p>It's NYC, there isn't much in the way of cheap hotels in the city. maybe over the bridges in Jersey. Or you can find a nice park bench :)</p>
<p>Manhatten does not have motels-OR-inexpensive hotels. Some hotels do give a NYU or college vistors rate.</p>
<p>I guess you have to ask yourself, "What is cheap?"</p>
<p>The best deal I found was Club Quarters down around Wall Street. If you book through one of those cheap online outfits, like those listed here (hotels.com is the cheapest here, I think):</p>
<p>It's still not exactly cheap, but it's great value for the money. The rooms are very nice if a bit small (it's NYC). Most only have one queen size bed, but they have some rooms with an additional sofa-bed.</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>you can probably go on orbitz or something...i live in the NY area so that's not really concern but i was looking at hotels and you can probably get something fairly cheap if you're willing to share a bathroom and live in a hostel type thing...which is really shady. :-(</p>
<p>I stayed at one of those hostel type places around MSG a year ago. It wasn't bad at all, and each room was decorated in a different theme. I sayed in a room with Buddha. If you're going by yourself, that would work. If parents are coming along... uhhh, No.</p>
<p>The Washington Square Hotel is located right on campus, and it's a small, reasonably priced boutique hotel with rooms that include a continental breakfast.</p>
<p>There is no cheap housing. The best i can think of is wash square hotel. Or was there something called hayden hotel? not sure. I know the hilton or marriot uptown was like 250 a night, might be more expensive in the summer</p>
