The TV cable box failed the first three nights in our stay every time maintenance came in to fix it. Other than that all good.

Hotel Edison Times Square
We loved our stay here. So conveniently located. The staff was very kind & helpful. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is bc whenever we tried to call the front desk from our room, there was never an answer therefore we’d have to go down to the lobby to communicate any needs.
