Budget travelers, take note!

New York City is suddenly within your reach!

The Broadway Hotel & Hostel, a self-described “designer hostel” on the Upper West Side, is offering a place to lay your head in the city that never sleeps for just $38 a night. You’ll need to book a reservation between September 22 and October 1 in order to cash in on this deal that’s good through the end of 2008.

And if that’s not enough for penny-pinchers, each reservation comes with a voucher for a free drink at the nearby Kazbar lounge.

The Broadway Hotel & Hostel boasts a surround-sound theater room with couches, a fireplace, a self-service kitchen and dining area, plasma screen TVs, and free wireless internet access. Dorm rooms have European bed linens, ceiling fans, and in-room vanities.

Now for $38 a night you may not feel you’ve got the right to complain, but buyer beware: reviews on TripAdvisor are mixed, with an agerage rating of 2.5/5. The hotel is rated #286 of 368 NYC hotels in terms of popularity, so if you take advantage of this deal, let us know how your stay was!
