It's definitely not deluxe, but it is right across the Bowery from ever-expanding Soho. You will not find a cheaper hotel downtown. The rooms are suprisingly large and are pleasant enough. Don't expect a mint on your pillow, however. It's certainly not the garden spot of NYC, but the neighbhorhood is not particularly dangerous, and not really forbidding in the daytime. Don't walk around alone after midnight looking clueless and you'll be fine.
