Hotel Edison Times Square
Property location is great so a central “hub”. It is rather busy in the area being right off of Times Square and in the theater district. It was perfect for our short stay as we were close to our show. Walking distance to Central Park and Rockefeller Center. They were also able to hold our luggage ...
