...and set them down in the lobby for us he then left just as quick and did not wait for a tip. The desk was long and well staffed I did not have to wait and handed over our hotel voucher and after a couple of signatures I was given the card keys to room 2118.

The room was quite dark luckily the lamps could be turned ...

Advantages: Fantastic Location, Great Service, Helpful Staff,
Disadvantages: Only the View

I stayed at the Edison Hotel in New York over New Years 2005/2006, and had a wonderful time. Although my first impression of the hotel was that it was just an ordinary building with lots of rooms like so many others in New York, but that opinion soon changed when I entered the hotel.
