Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was the perfect location. The Broadway show Hamilton was playing right across the street! Turn the corner and you are in the middle of Time Square. The subway was up a block & the Hop On Hop Off was 1 1/2 blocks away. We had an incredible time during the day & returned to a clean, quiet, comfortable room every night."

"We had two terrific nights at the Lexington. It is a charming and clean older hotel that has smallish rooms but up to date bathrooms and comfy beds. The lobby is charming and makes reference to the movie stars and jazz singers who stayed there in the past century. It's a great location near Grand Central Station and transit, with yummy food options nearby. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return!"
