Ever wonder what happened to all the old school New York hotels? A few of them are still around, Cheapos, and Hotel 31 is one of them.
Though short on amenities, this hotel has character to spare, not to mention low prices. It's been around since 1940, right around the time Ziggy, the semi-retired innkeeper and resident comedian, was a young man.
Wallpaper in the classic rooms varies from light blue stripes to a burgundy floral pattern. Mahogany wainscoting on the walls matches the thick, wooden doors. Even the locks on the hall bathrooms are antique brass. The wood framed windows allow guests to get a glimpse of the Murray Hill streets below.
The Chrysler and Empire State buildings are less than a 10-minute walk away.
