My friend Suzanne Russo of Around the World in Gold Stilettos told me about the Jane Hotel last week. It's a budget hotel in the West Village with shared bathrooms and tiny but stylish single rooms. Rack rate is $99, but there's a special going on right now through early April with rooms priced at $75. Long overdue, this development, and perfect for our economic moment. I can only hope that we see more hotels of this caliber and price point opening up in New York and other expensive cities in the next year or so.
Note: The hotel remains unfinished. Some facilities are not yet up and running.
What a steal! Plus you get that SRO vibe but with clean rooms (presumably).
