Check on Priceline. You may find some in the $100 range.

If you weren’t aware, some hotels are used for overflow housing for the overcrowded (men’s) shelters. It may not make a difference for you, but I was traveling alone with DS. I found a really great deal online this autumn for the financial district and that was the situation at the hotel.

She's saying to take this into consideration if you're uncomfortable with that.

4 strangers share a suite, each in a different room? 🙈

Manhattan IS expensive. There is NO cheap hotel here. if you want cheap, stay in NJ, Brooklyn, or somewhere else that is a commute away.
Or look into an AirBnB type arrangement.

I'm trying to figure out the wording and pricing.

Visit NYC: Suite at 4-Star Hotel
Stay in a studio suite
Price based on up to four guests sharing a room

I know that with airbnb you can be renting a "room" in an apartment with shared common areas and facilities with strangers and I'm trying to figure out if this is the case here.

I understood that to mean that up to four in a group can share the room. Such as a couple and two children.

Is there a way to know if there are homeless people in a hotel?

4 star name brand hotels do not fill vacancies this way.
But some comfort inn type places may have such contracts with the city.

I booked mine through Priceline. And it wasn’t a low star run down place. Try calling the hotel at the direct number and politely asking.

They do. I stayed at a Marriott I think? It was not pleasant. Not into city hotels except for the high end ones (went once, on my wedding night:)

What about the 5 stars hotel. It’s as low as 150 a night.
