Readers Recommend: Hotel 17 a satisfying New York City bargain

For a bargain price at a central location in New York City, try Hotel 17, four blocks from Union Square. This hotel appeals to everyone from students to seniors. The inexpensive rooms all have shared coed bathrooms. In-room safes come with all accommodations, but in a “senior moment” I left mine open with all valuables on display. I returned to find them intact. Doubles, with shared bath, from $137.75

Hotel 17, 225 E. l7th St.; (212) 475-2845
