Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Location was FABULOUS! Perfect location in the theater district if you're seeing a show, around the corner from Times Square. This did lend to noisy nights on the street but nothing that prevented sleep. Room had 2 queens and more space than I thought we'd have. Gym was fully equipped and clean. Breakfast options as part of the $20 per person per day resort fee ("free to-go" or inexpensive sit-down eggs, toast, hashbrowns, coffee) were great. Security was solid-had to show hotel room key pass in order to get to elevators and had to swipe key pass in order to go up elevator. Very safe area with lots of restaurants and shops. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Cost was reasonable on Hotels.com especially considering location. We did the free walking tour of Rockefeller Center and Times Square that left out of the hotel lobby. It was great! It was 60 minutes, not a long walk, but interesting and did I mention, free! We also did a 2 private tour with Broadway Up Close called "Hamil Tour" for $83 pp. Two tiny complaints were that check-in was at 3:00 and our room wasn't ready until 3:15 and there was not a lot of surface space to put toiletries and no shelves/dressers to unpack. Tips: -There's a parking garage right diagonally across the street (259 W 47th) that we booked ahead thru SpotHero. -I checked on the price for the room 3 days before our arrival and it was $240 cheaper so I cancelled the first booking and rebooked at the cheaper price. Yay, Hotels.com!"

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second time staying at Pod Times Square. It is supremely well-located, but at the same time very quiet and self-contained. I love the neighborhood, the concept of the hotel, and the value proposition - a rare combination in NYC. I did have to request an electric kettle for boiling water to make tea and coffee in the room - it was supplied quickly though. I think the only amenities that would make the stay perfect would be a coffee maker and refrigerator in the room. But other than that, everything is just as it should be, and very easy to navigate. I will stay here again."
