...The Edison Hotel, New York City: Built in 1931 This glorious hotel is located at 228 West 47th Street. Here I will write up a short review upon my experience in the hotel last year. Location: as previously mentioned situated in one of the most dynamic sections of New York City 228 West 47th Street, Directly in the middle of New York which means little walking distance to wherever you may want to venture. Rooms: Depending on what type of accomodation you are looking for, the Edison will be sure offer it to you. Personally our room was slightly better than standard due to us being on a work trip. Anyway we had two people per room, a king sized bed each, a mini fridge which was stocked up 2 times a day, lovely carpeted floors, TV (Full channel), Chairs, Lamps, Pictures, and best of all a laptop and access to the internet (Provided...

...When I was booking a holiday for my partner and I to go to New York, I did a lot of research about hotels, locations, sight-seeing spots etc and then tried to find the best one out of a huge list I made.

...THE AMERITANIA HOTEL – NYC This is, by far, the worst hotel I have stayed in, in my entire life. First, I arrived with considerable baggage. An employee (by the way he was dressed I am not quite sure what he was supposed to be) stood in the doorway jabbering with another man. He did not offer to help me with my bags. So, I lugged them across the length of the lobby to the front desk. The girl behind the counter was rude. I took my key and lugged my bags across the lobby again to the elevator. The employee walked up to me and said, “Sorry about that. You see, it’s busy today’. It wasn’t! And he still didn’t offer to help me. I stepped into an elevator with a dirty floor. Upstairs, I stepped out into a dreary, dark and dirty hallway. The flat, dark carpet appeared to not have been vacuumed... Read review
