We paid $537 total (including taxes) for two nights ( Sun & Mon night) for a 1BR suite with a pull out sofa in the living room. It was small but very convenient. The only problem is that the room rates are double or more on Friday and Saturdays.

Also, have you looked into the New York Pass? You pay a set price and get free admission to just about every major tourist site in NYC. It covers admission to the museums, top of the Empire State Building, top of Rockerfeller Center, Circle Line Cruises, the ferry to the Statue of Liberty, Madame Tussaud's wax museum ( my kids LOVED this), tour of NBC studios, and a lot more. I added a link to the website below. Check out the things you want to do and compare the cost. We saved a lot of money with the passes.
