There is no longer any subway service from any NYC airport.  There is an
inconvenient 2-bus service from LaGuardia.  My advice to you is to fly into
LAG if possible, and take a cab.  It's the smallest and closest of the 3
airports.  A cab should run you around $20 from LAG, $30 from Newark, and $40
from JFK.  Alternatively, look for the CAREY bus from JFK and LAG.  It'll
stop in midtown and several major hotels for $12-18 dollars, as I recall.

I can't advise you on hotels, but good luck getting a $99 rate from ANY NYC
hotel.
