The Best Affordable Hotels in New York City
"Neighborhood: Roosevelt IslandPrice: From $222 per night In the last five years, sleepy Roosevelt Island has gone from a bit of a backwater neighborhood to an emerging tech hub for students and New Yorkers alike. Last year, the small, historic island welcomed its first hotel, the lively Graduate Roosevelt Island, located on the campus of Cornell Tech. But don’t be fooled that this is just a waystation for students and their families: Designed by bigwig firms Snøhetta and Stonehill Taylor, the hotel has quickly become a magnet for New Yorkers looking for the next big thing. Rooftop bar and lounge Panorama Room has been especially popular since opening, as has The Big Suite, which boasts themed bunk beds and an authentic Zoltar machine, just like in the movie." - Juliet Izon
