Cheap places to stay in Montego Bay

I am a member of couchsurfing.org, a site designed to help travelers who wish to spend little or no money on hotels, travelers who don't necessarily want to stay at all-inclusives and who want to go out on their own experience the culture of the place and meet with locals. Check the link for more info.  http://www.couchsurfing.org/

Since joining, I have received a lot of messages from persons wanting to visit Jamaica and need somewhere cheap and safe to stay, and I try my very best to give them as many tips as I can, but I really had no idea what some of the cheaper, safer hotels are. I decided to do some research and post some of my finding. Ill begin with Montego Bay since this is the tourism capital :)
