Top hotels in The Waterfront
Hotel Edison Times Square
Staff is very accommodating and made my son’s 18th birthday on Broadway super special. Upgraded us to a suite for free! And managed to get us early check in during a busy vacation week. 5th stay at the Edison and will never stay anywhere else in the city!
