Here is a useful map of that area, showing the hotels around the station which can all be googled: http://switzerland.isyours.com/images/rg.maps.geneva_centre.pdf
For American style comfort there is Hotel Epsom (250CHF/night or more) http://www.manotel.com/epsom/
For old world charm, there is Hotel de la Cloche (145CHF for double rooms - that's all they have, and only about 8 rooms total) http://www.geneva-hotel.ch/cloche/
For price, Hotel At Home offers 120CHF for single rooms. Intrigued by the ironically appropriate name of this hotel, I called them, and they would be willing to offer a group price of 100/person if 10 persons booked. http://www.hotel-at-home.ch/prix.php
There is also a perfectly decent youth hostel just near the station, for those on very low budgets. http://www.yh-geneva.ch/en.htm For options further afield, here is a link to a longer list that was used by participants in a Grid conference held last year. http://egee-technical.web.cern.ch/egee-technical/EU-reviews/review-may07/hotels.htm
