But $45 per night is a fair price for anything that's established in New York. Don't let me reiterate how expensive this city is. I've been to Texas and I've rented a room for a few dollars in a budget hotel that didn't charge me the extra and the other service fees. The room smelled rustic too (if you know what I mean). If you're from elsewhere and are planning to have a tiny place to crash at night, the cheapest place is at
Columbus Studios. Who knows, you might even get to share a bathroom with a future Marilyn Monroe.
