Lodging Information IACL-15 and NACCL-19

Dear Participants:

The most challenging part in organizing a large conference in New York City is to find reasonable lodging. We thought we may use Columbia’s student dorms to accommodate many of our participants. Unfortunately, we were informed not long ago that the dorms will undergo renovation and won’t be available to our participants. Since then, we have been trying hard to locate inexpensive rooms, with limited success. The followings are what we have found.

Part I

1. Teachers College, North Campus, Columbia University

www.tc.edu/housing/detail.asp?id=summer+conference+housing
Phone: 212-678-8404
Address: 121 street & Amsterdam
Contact person: Amy Rotenberg
Note: 50-70 rooms, all single, $100-$130/night. Your arrival and departure dates have to fall on business days, namely you must stay through May 28. Good for people who want to stay on Columbia’s campus and wish to have one more day in New York after the conference. Please contact the office individually and complete your application. Deposit is required.

2. Teachers College, Columbia University

Phone: 212-678-3235
Address: 525 West 120th Street, Box 312, New York, NY 10027
Note: 4 rooms, $115/night, May 24-28.
Again, you have to stay through May 28. Good for people who want to stay on Columbia’s campus and wish to have one more day in New York after the conference.
Guests must call to reserve one of the rooms that are currently reserved. They are 6261, 6263, 6264, and 6265. Please give your own credit card information to replace ours when you contact the office and pay upon your arrival.

3. King’s Crown

Phone: 212-854-9345
Address: 116 West Street and Amsterdam Ave
Contact person: Evelyn
Email: em56@columbia.edu
     Note:       May 23-27         2 singles $40-50/night
May 23-27         2 doubles $40-50/night (have to be reserved jointly
      by two guests)
Guests must contact Evelyn and tell them they want to reserve one of the rooms for the EALAC/IACL-15 Conference. These are really inexpensive rooms, good for graduate students or  

4. On the Avenue

Phone: 212-651-3314
Address: 2178 Broadway at 77th Street
Contact person: Gleny
Email: gleny@citylifehotels.com
10 rooms, all double, $279/night
Note: Since these are doubles, if you want to share, you will need to reserve the rooms jointly or be notified that each room holds 2 people.  Reservations can be made under IACL-15.

5. Others

As organizer, this is our last option. The following hotels are located in Newark, New Jersey. They are four-star or two-star hotels. It is impossible to have such rooms in Manhattan at the price these hotels are asking for. The downside is that they are relatively distant. It is not convenient for people who wish to explore NYC’s night life. But we will provide bus service from the hotels to Columbia University. Since our conference will be mostly held in weekend, the transportation will not be too bad. These rooms are particularly good for people who fly in and out of Newark International Airport.
