We stayed for 5 nights at the beginning of June and this was my second stay at the hotel. Our room were on the 12th floor but my room was very different to my parents even though we were only 5 rooms apart. My room was newly refurbished,bathroom rather small but modern fittings and my parents was old and in desperate need for a make over. I found the bed to be very uncomfortable and woke up every morning with a bad back. We didn't bother to complain about the cleanliness of the room as we only slept in there. Please be aware that the are no safes in the room they are behind reception. The location of the hotel is perfect, 1 minute walk from the hotel and you are directly on Broadway/Times Square. The staff are very helpful and you will be asked to show your room key as you enter the hotel for security.
We didn't bother arranging airport transfers and we found it very easy to get a taxi from the hotel BUT we were scammed when we arrived at JFK, the taxi states a 45 dollar fee to the airport but yet when we arrived he charged us 60 and then even had the cheek to want a tip. We ended up paying 65 dollars in total which is 20 dollars more than what we paid when we arrived.
If you leave your bags with the hotel once you have checked out then they charge 50cents per bag. We stayed in 2007 and we didn't pay any charge then.
Overall I would recommend staying at the Edison for the location alone but don't expect luxury rooms!!
