I was thinking under $170.00 per night.
Was wondering what some of the mystery hotels might be like?

TripAdvisor is a great resource for hotel reviews. I basically just inputed your dates. Unfortunately I couldn't indicate $170 as your max, but it shows hotels $200 and less. Hopefully this will give you a good start..

Posted: 6/14/10 at 1:45pmGo to Priceline. I got The Westin Times Square for $110 a night last August. Just choose to name your own price and choose Times Square and put in $130 as your price for a 4* Deluxe. I checked and if you go lower than $130 it says you have only a small chance of being accepted. You may have to up it to around $155. No, you don't choose your hotel, but you get a 4* and save a boatload. I don't know anyone who has ever gotten a bad deal. On this site: http://www.betterbidding.com/ you can see what people have gotten recently with priceline. Looks like someone got The Westin for the week after your trip for $159. You can get better prices if you choose Midtown.

Posted: 6/14/10 at 2:26pmJersey Girl- that sounds like a great deal! I'll have to remember that the next time. I booked a room for late August at the Chelsea Savoy- in Midtown for about $125/night through Hotels.com.

From kayak.com, travel dates 8/10 - 8/15:
The Pod, $123/night on skoosh.com (I have used skoosh, very reliable.)
The Edison, $140, easyclicktravel.com
The Bedford Hotel $148, easyclicktravel.com
The Herald Square Hotel, $159, booking.com
The Flatotel $159, booking.com
Comfort Inn, Chelsea, $165, comfortinn.com
The Marcel at Gramercy, $167, skoosh.com
Hotel Stanford, $169, hotels.com
Can't vouch for the quality of any of the above, read reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Agree that priceline may be the way to go to get more bang for your buck. But if you have never used priceline before go to betterbidding.com, read the New York priceline forum, and post for help. Priceline is tricky.

Posted: 6/25/10 at 6:21pmHas anyone ever stayed at the Portland Square Hotel? I am looking for just one night, so it doesn't have to be something fancy? I found this for cheap (around $112) and have read good and bad things about it, so just looking for more opinions. Thanks!

millie,
I haven't stayed there, but recent reviews from those who have complained that it is dirty and very loud because of renovations going on.

Posted: 6/25/10 at 11:49pmI stayed at the Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square South last October and found it to be a pleasant experience. Yes, the room was small but most New York hotel rooms are. But it was clean and not overly far from the theatre district but not completely on top of the hubbub of Times Square. The wi-fi is free which I've found to be a rarity in NYC. For the days the OP posted it is $211.65/night. A bit higher than $170 but not bad for NYC.

I have stayed at the Pod and highly recommend it!
There's also the YMCA option which *can* be LESS THAN $100/night. Google 'YMCA West Side' and see what a room there goes for nowadays. Very basic with community bath, private bath is additional.

Was looking at the pod. But might end up blowing the budget and go for the Hilton Club on west (?) street. They have a really good deal on at the moment. That comes in at just under 210.00 (au) per night with full breakfast.
Plus I could get a high floor...the view might win out.
