Best kept secret in NYC....you can stay at the original hotel the survivors of the Titanic stayed at - and for just $99 a night! It is quite an experience (I have done it twice) and I highly recommend! http://www.thejanenyc.com/

Hey! Thanks, @lanceman. That is a fantastic secret. The Jane. Hmm. Was it always called that? I will look it up. I'm sure the ghosts of the survivors roam the halls to this day.
Not sure on the original name but haunted, Yes!! And the employees are all dressed in that era (kind of like Tower Of Terror at Disney, if you are familiar). The hotel is located on a discreet side street on the upper East end of Manhattan. The restrooms are communal but the stalls and showers are walled off for total privacy & the showers are the best of any 5 star hotel I have stayed at. Super cool & affordable place to crash for a weekend in NYC!
I am down for that! How interesting. Perfect location, too. Not familiar with Tower of Terror myself but heard about it from others.
Kind of spooky / eerie...but in a cool way! Hard to describe but def. check out the website.
I will! Did you have other worldly experiences?
Whelp. At one point...I did hear a banging noise, however, it is a hotel lol
Here is an excerpt from the history page:
"Completed in 1908, the American Seaman’s Friend Society Sailors’ Home and Institute was designed by William A. Boring, the architect renowned for Ellis Island’s immigrant station. Originally built as a hotel for sailors with cabin-like rooms, the landmarked hotel was lovingly restored on its centennial in 2008.
In 1912, the survivors of the Titanic stayed at the hotel until the end of the American Inquiry into the ship’s sinking. The surviving crew held a memorial service at the hotel four days after the ship sank."
