Cheap Sleeps - New York City Free and Dirt Cheap - page 24

Park Savoy Hotel Most stays this close to Central Park come at a price (high). Somehow this hotel in the center of
everything charges just $115 for a single with a private bathroom. Doubles are $150, and while rooms are small,
they're plenty serviceable. (If you need more space, the Great Lawn is just a little ways away.)
158 W. 58th St., btw. Sixth and Seventh aves. 212/245-5755. Fax [phone]. www.parksavoyhotel.com . 80 units. $150 double; $115 single.
AE, MC, V. Subway: N/Q/R or F to 57th St. In room: A/C, TV, Wi-Fi ($10).
Travel Inn Despite a 42nd Street location, this hotel has some unusual amenities for Manhattan, like an outdoor
pool, sun deck, and free parking. There's a chain hotel feel, but rooms are decent sized and a renovation has the
place fully updated. It's a little west of the beaten path, but that's a good thing when it comes time to lay down
your head in a city that never sleeps. Low-season doubles start at $125—heck, you could spend that much just
parking.
515 W. 42nd St., near Tenth Ave. 888/HOTEL58 [468-3558], 800/869-4630, or 212/695-7171. Fax [phone]. www.thetravelinnhotel.com .

The Out NYC This “straight-friendly urban resort” could as easily be described as a high-design gay compound.
It's on the western fringe of Times Square, giving it access to major gay neighborhoods in Chelsea and Hell's
Kitchen. Of course, with an on-site spa, sun deck, garden, lawn, restaurant, and nightclub, who needs the rest
of the city? A regular room costs a pretty penny (doubles run about $350 a night), but if you're amenable to a
roommate or three you can catch a great deal. “Sleep Share” accommodations are $99 a night. Four sleep in a
room and split a bathroom, but the beds are full-size and there are privacy curtains and personal TVs. Although
nominally “straight-friendly,” don't expect any Tucker Max acolytes in the next bed over.
510 W. 42nd St., btw. Tenth and Eleventh aves. 212/947-2999. Fax [phone]. www.theoutnyc.com . 105 units, 8 sleep shares. $99 per
dorm bed. AE, DC, DISC, MC, V. Subway: A/C/E/7 to 42nd St./Port Authority. Amenities: Restaurant; bar; concierge; fitness center. Inroom: A/C,
TV, Wi-Fi.
