I was visiting Manhattan on a solo trip, so this un-fussy place was absolutely perfect. A very easy walk+subway into the city or anywhere else. I never even saw the other guests. Bed was comfy and room had a desk ready for use too. Everything was clean, all the basics were available. And the location -- for my purposes -- was just delightful for the warm summer nights. Roosevelt island is ringed by a path with benches and great views of the city and the occasional firefly.
