OK for one night, but not more
My friend and I flew to NYC on an Expedia package of flight and hotel - the Edison. It is right in the middle of the theater district - so very convenient. But - it is very old. Rooms are clean, sheets are nice - but it is very sparse in terms of an luxury. Only plan to stay there if you are just going to sleep and change clothes. When we come in November for three nights we will stay at something a little more upscale.
Fine for one night for quick trip - but no more.
The concierge was very helpful - sent us to a great Italian restaurant for a pre-theater dinner - Tremonti on 46th between 8th and 9th.
