Chelsea Star Hotel
Our Budget Travel guide finds a rare deal for large parties, with a suite that can sleep up to seven people for just over $200 a night. Despite a great location, he warns it is "not a property that would appeal to everyone. The room furnishings included plastic lawn chairs and an unfinished plywood countertop in the kitchenette. None of this bothered us. You might think differently."
