Subject: NYC modest central accommodation for family??
A colleague is looking for a clean safe place to stay in New York City. She will be travelling with her husband and two school aged children. They plan on 2 nights or so and then move on to Washington, DC.

Any suggestions? I had thought of the Y but with room sharing, I thought that a conventional hotel with 2 double or queen beds would be almost as economical.

Thanks.
