Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

The Lucerne Hotel

8/10 Good

"Well located in a quiet area. Close to subway station and places to eat and shop. Very close to natural history museum and Central Park. The room was very quiet A small refrigerator would have been ideal."

Hotel Beacon

10/10 Excellent

"The staff that welcomed us at the door were all very friendly. The room, although a bit dated, was clean and comfortable. I wish we stayed longer to use more of the amenities of the room like the microwave, fridge and range. Although they did not offer breakfast, the staff recommended a diner connected to but not affiliated with, the hotel. We were not disappointed. It was a rainy day and the hotel offered umbrellas. Even after checking out, they held our bags for us, as we explored the surrounding area a bit more. We would stay again and recommend it to anyone."

Park Lane New York

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great except the carpet was stained in multiple spots. But I can imagine that so many people spill wine, food, and other things that it would be cost prohibitive to constantly replace the carpet. But the room also needed a paint job. Lamp shade needs replacing. But the stellar staff made up for everything."
