Hotels in New York City can be quite pricey. Nevertheless, affordable accommodations are certainly available, especially for those who are willing to have a roommate or use shared bath facilities. The conference hotel is the Marcel; those of you for whom comfort is a great concern should probably try to make reservations there. For those who are on a budget, you might well consider the alternate accommodations listed below. Unless otherwise noted, these hotels are walking distance from Baruch College. The prices listed below were found on the Internet using standard hotel-locating sites, such as Orbitz.com, Travelocity.com, and Hotels.com. (If you search for hotels on your own, note that the conference will take place on 25th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues, in the Murray Hill / Gramercy section of NYC.) If you have any questions about the quality of these or other nearby hotels, please feel free to contact Poundie Burstein.
