Try The Five Towns Motor Inn out by JFK. They aren't close to Manhattan, but I think they will drop off/pickup at a nearby subway station.
Its mostly crews who stay at this place, so they will treat you right.
But do NOT, I repeat DO NOT stay at the Ramada Plaza JFK. Our crews just changed due to a human head being found right around the corner of the hotel, I believe on hotel property. But not sure on the details as this was after my stay.
Also, the dirty buggers charged me $600 in local phone calls for my 40+ days stay with them, even after the sales director said he would adjust the bill because of my lengthy stay.
