Um, Nora, I bet you could find a free room in NYC if you tried really hard.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hotel 17 is the place my friend stayed: [link]
These were her comments:
It's where Manhattan Murder Mystery was filmed. It was GREAT! Shared bathroom but TOTALLY spotless all the time, large, and never a problem to get it!
Most of my only child issues come out in situations involving solitude (NEED!), noise (HATE), privacy (LIKE OXYGEN), and personal bubble (a cubic yard would be nice, thanks).
You and me both, baby -- and I'm not an Only; just the oldest.
And let me tell you, spending 5 days trapped with my family in another state, given that my parents don't understand the concept of boundaries, was really really really too much.
I did, quite seriously, drink A LOT to deal with it. It was the only way to get me mellow enough to not start screaming "LEAVE ME ALONE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOONE!!!"

I don't like to impose!
I'm always afraid cheap = nasty, which is especially true in NYC, I think, so that's why I'm most wary of shared bathrooms. First-hand recommendations are a good thing.
Also, here's a bunch of hotel reviews from Time Out: [link]

Yes, this is my fear as well.
Nora, Emily and I stayed at the Super 8 near Times Square in March. It wasn't the nicest place I've ever stayed, but it was reasonable and clean. The room was small, but had a tv, private bath, etc.
Edit: [link]
I've stayed at various Super 8's a bunch of times, and I still think naming a hotel "superate" is just gross.
I lived in a bachelor apt with a shared bathroom for three years, so I'm okay with them.
I also grew up as the youngest of four kids in a house with one bathroom, so peeing in private was almost unheard of in my house.
