Hotel Edison Times Square

8/10 Good

"Very friendly and helpful staff at a beautiful Art Deco hotel in a convenient location. Great for tourists, families, and for those with a fondness for glamorous 1930s New York."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, and a great place to retreat too after a long day in the city. Quick access to Central Park and Times Square, with subway access to everything else you could want to do. Beds were comfy and the room was always refreshed with everything you need. The $35 credit to use at the coffee shop each morning really was nice as well. I would return to this hotel again for our next trip to NYC."
