Does anyone here have experience in staying at a shared bathroom hotel/hostel in NYC, or anywhere for that matter? I've been planning a trip to Manhattan for quite awhile now, and it's either I stay in NJ somewhere and take a PATH train into Manhattan, or I stay in an economy type place like a hostel or at least somewhere that offers shared bathrooms, right in Manhattan.

The whole idea of sharing these facilities sort of creeps me out to be honest, but it's the only economical way of staying in Manhattan. What is the security like? Can you just leave all of your possessions laying around your room without worrying about theft? Are the washrooms generally clean and available when you need them?

Further, if you have stayed in any place specifically and would like to recommend it, I'm all ears. Thanks.
