Im going to NY in December but i don't want to spend a fortune on hotels as the plan is to sight see. Looking for suggestions on cheap central accommodation, hotels/villas, but please not in the slums either.
The Chelsea hotel used to be one of the cheapest on 23rd & 7th. For sight seeing try the Pennsylvania Hotel just across the road from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan, just around the corner from Macy's, Broadway and about 8 blocks from Times Square
