Hampton Inn New York Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, friendly and efficient."

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable. I wish there was a fridge in the room but that didn't negatively affect our stay. Breakfast was a bit confusing. When you book it says included but when you arrive they give your a good voucher up to a certain amount and you have to cover the rest of the bill. The Rum house is a great place to grab a drink. Overall I would recommend staying at this hotel."
