Location Great - Quality Not So Much!
We had a great time in NYC! The location of this hotel provided us quick easy access to anywhere we wanted to go! The outside transportation guys ALWAYS friendly and very helpful... the inside staff, not so much. They acted like you were more of a bother, than a paying guest! But finding customer service people anywhere is America is becoming hard! 
 It is a very busy lobby - so if you have a wait, there is a wonderful bar/food located inside the Edison. 
The rooms were small, dingy, and just uncomfortable. Very hard to control the room temp...it was VERY hot in our room.. So laying on uncomfortable beds, sweating was miserable! The showers would go from extreme hot to extreme cold... 
Being that we weren't in our room much, it wasn't too big of deal, but didn't come home very rested. For the price, we would have expected a bit more luxury.. but in the end it was all good! 
So in writing this review... if location is your # 1 thing... STAY HERE!!! If comfort and luxury is your # 1 I wouldn't stay here!!! 
on a site note... a must do is the Spirit dinner cruise from Peir 81... simply amazing, good food, and wonderful views!!!
