Hotel Edison Times Square
If you want a great location hotel within walking distance of all amenities then this should be your choice. We were able to walk to all major tourist stops and so close to subway as well. The staff are superb. From Franklin at the front door to Melody at the front desk they are very professional ...

Night Hotel Broadway
Everything was perfect just the shower doesn’t have a proper shower curtain and it floods the whole bathroom. It wasn’t a huge deal I think they just need a bigger curtain and also a liner plus a curtain not just a decorative curtain. Have a great time overall though!! :)
