We stayed at the Edison for three nights on 1st of December 2005. I was a bit concerned having already booked our stay and then reading the reviews afterwards - not good planning! However, I was glad that I hadn't read the reviews first. The hotel was fine, the rooms were clean. I would describe the decor as being slightly, but charmingly shabby. I felt that this added to the atmoshpere of the place. Bathrooms could do with being refurbished, but were clean. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were cleaned and towels replaced every day.
I agree with other reviews about the staff being unhelpful and rude. We had been informed that we would have somewhere to leave our luggage on checkout. When we asked the gentleman at the desk, we were greeted with a shrug of the shoulders and a brusque 'don't know.' When we asked if he could find out he said 'No' and left us to sort things out ourselves!
Great location and impressive public areas. Would stay again, but if you would like to keep the illusion of American hospitality, good humour and helpfulness.....don't ask the front staff for help or advice!
