More lodging alternatives:

1) ONLINE SEARCH - Try hotwire.com or priceline.com to search for hotels in the city....generally anything through either service will be a name brand hotel, so you should not have to worry about ending up at the no-tell motel. You'll probably find better deals in Queens or Brooklyn, but that's to be expected.
2) HOSTELS - There are several good hostels in Manhattan - Jazz Hostels have a good reputation and appear to have some availability - http://www.jazzhostels.com/
