I can recommend this place:

Get a subway pass that lets you ride the subway as much as you like for a week. Works out very economically. Me, my girlfriend and housemate all went in February 2003 - all students.
Edit: Oh, and we stayed here:

The first night. We stayed in their location on the upper west side near central park - just slightly up town from the International Student Center. Jazz had a bit of a different feel to it, there was a bar there. Breakfast was included in the price of a bed, but it was a bit more expensive than the International Student Center.
