Manhattan hotels can be expensive; however, Columbia University has negotiated discounts at some hotels for official guests of the University. While these rooms are significantly discounted, they may not be the cheapest option in the area. Unfortunately, these are of limited availability and are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
