Top Long Island City Hotel Reviews

Hotel Edison Times Square

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent
"It was a very old historic hotel. It had a lot of character. The room was snug but we had a big comfortable bed. The safe needed an upgrade… it worked until the last day. Then we had to get security to open it. The breakfast was adequate…. We did eat there everyday. The staff were extremely helpful. We liked the choice of bars and restaurants and the entertainment. We loved the location and would stay there again."
