Romantic lodging:NYC $99. night hotel for those with more dash than cash

Completed in 1908, The American Seaman's Friend Society Sailors' Home and Institute was designed by William A. Boring, the architect renowned for Ellis Island's immigrant station. Originally built as a hotel for sailors with cabin-like rooms, the landmarked hotel was lovingly restore on its centennial in 2008.

During the 80's & 90's the hotel was part of downtown New York's bohemian culture, hosting Hedwigh and the Angry Inch and the Million Dollar Club, amongs other rock-n-roll events.

Inspired by luxury train cabins, the rooms use smart design to pack maximum conveniences into minimal space. Each cabin comes standard with air conditioning, fan, iPod dock/clock radio, and a compact twin bed with built-in drawers and upper and lower storage space. All rooms feature free wireless internet access and 26-inch flat screen LCD televisions with built-in DVD player. Shared bathroom.
