Cheap but decent place to stay near Union Square?

Hey folks,

I%26#39;m coming to NYC from DC in mid-Feb to see a concert at Irving Plaza (near Union Square). Can anyone recommend a cheap, decent place to sleep nearby? Ideally I would like something within walking distance.

I%26#39;m okay with B%26amp;Bs and shared bathrooms.

Would prefer to keep it under $150 for the night. I%26#39;ve already looked into the Union Square Inn, but its reviews are not so good.

Thanks!

Try 2nd Home on 2nd Avenue.

Thanks NYCgirl - Looks like a great place, and I was all ready to book with them when I saw they have a two-night minimum. I really want to stay only one night. Any other ideas???

hotel 17 on east 17th street. shared bathrooms but very clean. good rates. we had no problems when we stayed there.

There aren%26#39;t a lot of other choices right nearby. The Chelsea Lodge gets pretty good reviews but it%26#39;s not as close. You could try staying in an apartment near there. Don%26#39;t know your budget but here%26#39;s a place on listed on newyork.craigslist.
