12th Visit…Says It All!
I’ve stayed at the Edison many times over the years but this was the first time in one of the newly renovated rooms (that’s a renovated standard room not to be confused with the new Signature rooms) and was very impressed!
The room (on the 15th floor) had been redecorated and new carpet fitted. Gone was the old TV unit to be replaced by new, modern dark wood furniture, with a matching leather headboard on the bed. Wood slat blinds replaced the curtains. The whole room looked much more modern, the bed was comfortable and of course the room was spotlessly clean.
All of the staff from the front desk, security and the maids were all friendly, and it was really nice to get a call from the Customer Relations department shortly after I checked in to check everything was okay.
As a regular visitor I have joined the Edison Excellence Program which is well worth it as you get free Wi-Fi, a voucher for a free breakfast in the Café Edison or drink in the Rum House, and discounted room upgrades. You also collect points which can be redeemed for a free night’s stay!
If you prefer a quiet room, as I do, ask for one at the rear of the building. It’s nothing to do with the hotel, but I do find 47th Street gets noisy at night and the rear of the building is much quieter.
I’ve stayed at the Edison twelve times now, so it’s safe to say this is my New York home. Maybe time to check out a Signature room on my next visit!
