Spec's in The City
My Friend and I (we bothwear glasses LOL) stayed at The Edison for four nights. We were a lttle disappointed with our room (319,very tired and in need of a lick of paint ), and being on the 3rd floor we were disturbed through the night with a dripping tap in the bathroom, Traffic noise and Trash trucks at 3am. The next day we didnt make a fuss, we asked to be moved and the helpful reception staff moved us to the 14th Floor(1410), the room was fresher and the noise level was much better.
The location was amazing literally around the corner from Times square and a subway station..brilliant...
The staff at the Hotel are very friendly and helpful.
The hotel Diner was good too and their pancakes(huge)and coffe set us up for the day nicely.
If you want an ultra modern hotel that is clinical and looks like any hotel in any city then this one is not for you. 
Would go back to the Edison .
