Hi, Sandy,
I did a search and came across the Side Pension and hotel (http://www.sidehotel.com/) which has always gotten a lot of good press for a budget place. I met a couple who stayed there and liked it. Another place slightly above that is the Apricot hotel, which seems to have gotten decent writeups, too (http://www.apricothotel.com/).
Finally I'd recommend looking at Tom Brosnahan's website, The Turkey Planner. Tom is the author of the Lonely Planet guide for Turkey, and his information is invaluable. I'm not a bottom-budget traveller, but loved his guidebook for Turkey and used it a lot (http://turkeytravelplanner.com/).

The Spectra is 3 star with air conditioning, should be about USD 40-50, te Ebroy around same price, we didn't stay at those but that is what we were quoted, a nice small place around $ 50 is the Zeynep Sultan Boutique Hotel which has a/c, mini bar, cable tv etc, about 30 rooms.

Thanks to all who replied . . . I have Googled all these hotels and they all appear to be out of my range.
Hali - $81
BW Spectra - $88
Zeynep Sultan - $87
Tash Konak - $68
Before I posted, I had checked these:
Ambassador - $88
Orient Express - $100
Poem - $75
Side - $75 for hotel w/a/c; $40 for pension w/fan
Uyan - $100
Zeugma $88
So . . . I'm still looking! Anyone else have any suggestions? I know I can book with an agency but you all are a better source for first-hand info.
Thanks again,
