<p>Wow. I am really not sure about finding a place to stay in the NYC area for under $120 per night. We have never found anything for that price in Manhattan.</p>
<p>But I did find this after doing a quick search:</p>
<p>[Long</a> Island City - Queens Hotels near New York - Book Long Island City - Queens Hotels in New York, New York | Expedia](<a href=“http://www.expedia.com/Long-Island-City-Queens-New-York-Hotels.0-n6056462-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels]Long”>Book Top Hotels near Charlotte Airport (USA) from $56 | Expedia)</p>
<p>Evidently Long Island City in Queens is relatively inexpensive. And accessible via transit. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
