Need A Room For Female In Buffalo Ny

I would be working in Buffalo NY next week.
I am from NJ, no clue about Buffalo. I thought it was a cheap area, but not really.

I am looking for a room, where I could easily commutevto Main St downtown.
If anyone if offering rooms or if you know how do I contact people who are offering rooms would be greatly appreciated.

I checked in Sulekha for Room rentals - its not showing for Buffalo Ny.

I checked out hotels like Extended stay and for a month its almost $3K. Not a cheap location as I thought.

Need help asap on how to find desi room adds?
