02 / A little further out

Further out
Dazzler Hotel
Listed in the 2017 guide as slightly farther out, but still close to the center.
Further out
Even Hotel
Also listed in the 2017 guide as slightly farther out while remaining near the center.
Further out
Holiday Inn
Listed in the 2017 guide as an option a little farther from the venue but still near the center.
03 / Lower cost
Rooms, sofas, and longer stays.
The original guide pointed to two peer to peer options for travelers who wanted to spend less.
Peer to peer
Airbnb
The 2017 guide described Airbnb as a way to rent a room, an apartment, or a shared space. It advised reading the full description and guest reviews, and checking the trip to the venue before booking.
Peer to peer
Couchsurfing
New York has an active Couchsurfing community. The guide noted that a free stay depends on available hosts, and that the same advice about reviews and travel time applies.
Before you book
Prices drop as you move farther from Downtown Brooklyn, but travel time can rise quickly. A direct subway line can make a cheaper room more practical than a hotel that looks close on a map. Rates and availability from 2017 are no longer current; treat this list as an archive of the original recommendations.
