You can check out Delta Sharm, the room is 200 EGP (around 40 USD) per night and it is basically walking distance from bus station although there are taxis as well. And is nicely away from the mess in Naama or Old Market.There are 2 offices that sell, one is main office and sells for 300 EGP night
phone
oh they publish no phone :(
but sales office works at least until 1.00 and there are at least two Estonian girls employed there, they are very efficient to deal with.
Internet booking page is here, is office hours for them now so maybe still have time to react(or are you on way already?)

other is a small entrepreneur who lets out the privately owned apartments in Delta
his phone is
Mr Essam Harby, 0103630227 or +20122489249
He may not understand english but maybe someone who normally sit with him in the room will help
otherwise try phone to places here: http://www.egypttourism.org/Spanish/Hotels/hotels/SharmElSheikh.htm
E.g.
Sharks Bay Bedouin Home 15, Km Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab Road Tel.
600943
600947
it looks quite clean though simple on photo, with beach huts, and is away from naama and Old market where there might be confusion now, close to airport
Sandy on that page is on undamaged side of Old Market but is a somewhat "hmm" place my bf suggest it looks like they let out rooms for quick sex :o)
Pigeon House in Naama is one of the cheapest but same story (maybe his story :o)
Everything with address in Om el Sid or Naama is near, or El Maya if not too close to damaged area
If you get a beduin taxi driver (with headscarf) you may ask him, beduins are a kind of earnest, very nice people, at least in my experience
or som younger guy who has not "hardened" yet. If he doesn't try cheat you on the price you may as well trust his suggestions. Tell you need take bus in the morning and does he know anything cheap nearby. You can always listen to what he suggests and then say yes or no. You can really rely on people's friendlyness and willingness to help.
(Just as extra options to what have been offered by kind people above)
