The Murray Hill Comfort Inn is in your range. At least it was when we stayed there in December.

Stayed there twice, small rooms…but clean, they have a good restaurant downstairs and a good continental breakfast.  
Also, close to the subway.

42 W. 35th Street

> Last year I was in NY and stayed at the [Holiday Inn Express](http://www.expressbrooklyn.com/) for $105 a night. (The one on Butler).

You won’t find their rates online (at least I couldn’t) but when I tried to book there for three weeks in August last summer, they gave me a rate well over $200 for the first two weeks and over $300 for the third. As far as I could tell, these rates were non-negotiable. Finally, I was able to sublet a nice apartment for about $1700 for the three weeks.

Sorry, but I would book almost anything else on priceline, but not a hotel. You put up your money and should the hotel turn out to be a flophouse, there is no recourse.
