Looking for a good New York City Hotel, Motel or Hostel

On my journey from San Francisco to Paris, I'll have a one day stop in New
York City.
Anybody who can recommend a place to stay for the night - as close to
downtown as possible.
Looking at a price range of $50.00 - $100.00

Thanks!

There is a YMCA on West 63rd Street that fits your budget. It is near
Central Park and 1 mile north of TImes Square.
