    That is a really cool idea for a hotel! I'll have to check it out next time I'm in NYC. Thanks!

    Catwoman I hope to see you there! I am coming with a friend from Arkansas. The amazing thing is how pj crosses the lines generationally. I remember the my first introduction to the band. I was home taking care of kids and I become riveted by the most moving video of Jeremy. Hooked ever since. One of my son's first guitar songs? Black. Made me cry. First show? Little Rock Alltel Arena with my then 16 yr old son. Every show since? My great friend and fan who is in her early thirties. Music moves us all.

    I'm not going to the MSG shows (I'm going to Virginia Beach & DC). I just like visiting NYC, and knew that there were some lower cost nice hotels. I definitely agree about PJ crossing generational lines (just like the Beatles do). My kids took me to my first PJ concert in 2003 outside of DC, and I thought I was going to be too old to be at a rock concert. But I had a great time. Everyone was so nice to me. The PJ fans are great! By the way, my son plays guitar too, and played a lot of PJ when he had a band in high school.

    I would say try Chelsea Hostel http://www.chelseahostel.com

    It's cheap, central and CLEAN! I stayed there once, before I moved to the city, and it was great... you're only sleeping there after all. You can get a bed in a share room for $32 a night or a private room for $80 per night. I think it mostly has share bathrooms, but they're very clean, everytime I walked past, they were cleaning them.

    Or try Woogo.com. They're serviced apartments. Four of us stayed at the one at Times Square in '05 and it was only $50 each per night. It was clean, friendly and surprisingly quiet, given the location.
    This one looks cheap and doable :D

    Dont bring suitcases into the hotel.... even the best hotels in this city are infested with bedbugs right now...... beware!

    Google them....... NYC hotels are having a terrible time controlling them.

    One they get in your house they all but take over. Most times it costs thousands to get rid of them.

    Newest reports are that the cabs are full of them too.... you will not read about the outbreak in the papers, it would kill the tourist season... just becareful and shake you stauff out really well before you bring it back into your house.

    Can you specify what "reasonable" is? I looked this up a few years for my parents' trip here. I agree, Tripadvisor is quite useful but here are a few for you to narrow down your list by. I haven't actually stayed at any of these places (since I live here!) but they were on my shortlist for my parents.

    - Gershwin (they have shared bathroom option, probably about a 10-15 minute walk to MSG)
    - Union Square Inn (10 mins by subway that takes you 34th & Broadway, a 5-10 minute walk to MSG)
    - Hotel 31 (a few blocks from MSG)
    - Hotel Deauville
    - Hotel 17

    I ultimately chose to suck it up and booked the Park South Hotel, which isn't too close to MSG, but it's probably a nice walk (or an under $10 cab-ride) and it has a ton of dining options around especially Indian (it's by Curry/Murray Hill). It's a nice little boutique hotel, great service and worth every bit I paid for it. Hope this is helpful.

    You can absolutely walk from the park south. 15 minute walk. My brother stayed there abot a year ago and said it was a good hotel.

    100% percent correct.
    Bring your sleeping bag or your own linens.

    I thought about keeping everything in my small suitcase, and tying it up in a clear plastic bag in the room. This kind of creeps me out. I've heard one way to check if there's bed bugs in the bed where you're staying is look around the edge of the box spring and if you see lots of little spots that's not a good sign.

    Geez. I wasn't sure if you were joking ... but you certainly aren't!

    of course us NYers are super sensitive about it, but it has been reported as a widespread problem in NYC.

    Personally, I think its less likely to happen at a nicer hotel, but it does happen
