The Beacon and the Newton get pretty good reviews, as does the Lucerne. Did none of them appeal to you?

There aren%26#39;t many places really close to Columbia if that%26#39;s where you%26#39;re going. The closest would be the Newton and it%26#39;s fine but I think a budget option. A bit further south are the Lucerne, the Excelsior, the Beacon, the Milburne. They%26#39;re all fine. I think the Lucerne is probably the nicest.

Also check On the Avenue

All the hotels already mentioned are good and if the graduation is at Columbia, you can get from any of the hotels to the university by subway or taxi in 5 to 10 minutes.

Like nyc10025, I live in the neighborhood (10024) and have been to multiple Columbia commencements.

Best options have already been named, if staying on the West Side is your preference.....and it should be.

Right answers are Lucerne, On The Avenue, Beacon, and Empire.

Reserve now.....smart action.

We just got home after staying at the Lucerne for 3 nights. Really liked the location. The hotel is nice, clean, has a great and helpful staff, and an awesome concierge. I%26#39;d really recommend staying there. And it is less than a block from the subway.

I had a very good experience at The Lucerene. Plus I thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood. Would recommend.

I stayed at the Beacon a few years ago and thought it was a great hotel with clean, spacious rooms and a good location.

It seems to me that most UWS hotel actually get decent ratings. Even the occasionally budget Milburn has its fans...

For a really special stay, investigate Inn New York City. Very small, very discrete, and a perfectly favorable location.

We stayed at the Lucerne and were very impressed! Would highly recommend it. It was also very very close to sub station--2 or 3 minute walk.
