If you're looking for an affordable place to stay in New York City, Yotel [1] will exceed your expectations. The contemporary hotel is just a couple blocks away from Times Square, and the room rates are ridiculously low. Rooms start at about $199 a night [2], and it truly doesn't get much cheaper than that in Manhattan.
The sleek design, colorful accents, and amazing views make this a great place to hang out. We especially love the terrace, where you can enjoy a cocktail while taking in the city skyline. Yotel takes a modern approach to your hotel stay — you check into your room on a computer, and a huge robotic arm will take your luggage for you. Make sure to look at all the photos to see what this place is truly like.
