This Holiday Inn on Manhattan’s Lower East Side delivers all of the brand staples, as well as streamlined, contemporary -- and even stylish -- design. Spacious rooms feature free Wi-Fi and modern bathrooms; some have excellent views of the Downtown Manhattan and the Freedom Tower. The location is within walking distance of trendy restaurants, the famous Katz's Deli, and five subway lines. On-site features include a business center, meeting space, small fitness center, and an outdoor courtyard. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner, but not lunch, and serves burgers and brews in a kitschy, 50s-inspired atmosphere. Overall, the Holiday Inn is one of the best deals on the Lower East Side -- just know that the location on Delancey Street is busy and noisy.

If you're looking to crash on the Lower East Side without breaking the bank, and just need a clean place to sleep, the Redford Hotel is your place. This city outpost has a great location -- around the corner from Katz's Deli, surrounded by bars and restaurants, walking distance from Soho and Little Italy -- but the cramped rooms and basic bathrooms aren't anything special. The free breakfast is a nice perk, but the neighborhood is full of excellent cafes serving cheap and delicious breakfasts.

Near bars and music venues in the Lower East Side (not SoHo), the 38 clean, stylish guest rooms at the Off-SoHo Suites have either shared or private access to a fully equipped kitchen. It's a fair pick, for the price, but it's rates often near those of fancier hotels on hipper blocks.

An affordable but still clean and comfortable option in the crowded-by-day, desolate-by-night, garbage-strewn heart of Chinatown (just outside the Lower East Side nightlife), this 70-room hotel doesn't have much beyond its cramped guest rooms -- no fitness center, restaurant, or Wi-Fi.

The 22-room Blue Moon Hotel is a decent mid-range option with charm and an undeniably authentic style that matches the surrounding Lower East Side neighborhood. Features are limited to a cafe and a simple free breakfast, and the rooms have decent amenities like free Wi-Fi, microwaves, and minibars. The highlight of the Blue Moon is its downtown location, perfect for exploring the hip restaurant and nightlife scene in Chinatown and the LES. Those who look for the reliability and efficiency of a chain hotel might be less than thrilled with quirks, like uncontrollable heating in rooms, worn furnishings, a sparse breakfast, and rickety elevator. In this case, travelers might compare rates with the Comfort Inn Manhattan Bridge, which has a similar location but more predictable features.

The 42-room Ridge Hotel is a pleasant, mid-range boutique catering to couples and solo travelers who don’t need much more than a clean, comfortable place to sleep. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, iPod docks, and individually controlled air-conditioning, but most are small and have limited storage space. Though the property lacks a full restaurant, free coffee and muffins are served daily in the lobby, and there are a computer and a microwave for guest use. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, with panoramic city views and ample seating. The hotel's Lower East Side location requires subway rides to uptown attractions such as Central Park and Times Square, but there are tons of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby, and the subway stops right across the street. Travelers willing to pay more may prefer Hotel Indigo, which is more stylish and has a trendy rooftop restaurant.
