If it's allowed, I'll bring a partial post over from RVzLady from Clackhouse, who knows NY very well:
"For those flying in - I highly recommend this Queens hotel for price, cleanliness, location/travel convenience, etc.
Pan American Hotel
7900 Queens Blvd, Flushing, NY - (718) 446-7676

ALSO, there are PLENTY of nice hotels at the airports.
In other words, forget Manhattan unless you got a wad of cash and are itching to spend it
ETA: Pan Am Hotel is 15 - 20 minutes to the theater by subway, which is right next door to the hotel."
I went online and there is a current online promotion for 2 people, queen bed fro $121/night. That sounds like a good deal to me!
