A good value is the Radio City Apartments (a suite hotel property) on 49th Street (between 6th and 7th). You can't beat the location and a studio apartment is $129 plus tax. The rooms are *very* basic and the telephone system is inconvenient (incoming calls work fine; for outgoing calls you need a phone card, but I never buy one, just use my cell phone). Phone number is 212-730-0728.
