Welcome news for those seeking a nice room in pricey Manhattan at rates that aren’t as high as a
skyscraper:

A former Quality Inn just off Times Square has been transformed into the hipper Stay. (the period is
part of the name.)

Rooms at this new boutique hotel aren’t spacious, but start at $240 a night, before taxes. That’s below the Manhattan average of about $300. Rates are due to be as low as $190 in January, typically a slower time in busy Manhattan.
