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!

The location of the hotel was very convenient, the subway entry and Penn Station are literally like 10 seconds from it, lots of good places to eat at around. I booked a queen bed room which was neat.

Took forever to check in. And yes we did attempt to do the mobile check in. They spent 10m with each person. The room was decent though. Clean.
