Hotel Edison Times Square

Hotel Edison Times Square

8/10 Good
"The Hotel Edison provides you with Old World Charm, which is what you would expect to find in the "Big Apple". Great Location too! Hotel needs to provide better accommodations in room for placement of your luggage while unpacking... choice was bed or floor. Could do better there. Bench, table or something. All in all, we would definitely book there again."
