Edison Hotel

Special thanks to Danny and his superb security team. I cannot express my appreciation in such a short summary of words. Prior to checking out my husband was experiencing chest pains. I immediately called the operator who transferred me to security Troy. Danny, knocked on my room door within minutes asking was everything okay. I told him my husband was having chest pains. However, my husband Stubborn as an old mule said he’s fine and everything is okay. After telling Danny my husband takes high blood pressure medication. Danny was not satisfied with my husband saying he was fine. Danny somehow convinced my husband to just let Medics check on him since we were flying. The medics arrived and after checking my husbands blood pressure they suggested that my husband needed to be taken to the emergency room for an EKG test. We followed the medics professional directions. All said, going to the emergency room was necessary. We can't thank Danny enough for calling Medics. Anything could of happened to my husband while flying back home.

Same crappy hotel it was in 1982. Refurbished--bull! Same mismatched furniture. Have pix to show it. New tiled bathroom that 's the size of a postage stamp. Have to fight the toilet to get into the bathtub. No coffee maker, no micro, no small fridge. No new windows to block the sounds from the street. You can hear conversations from street level. Mgr isn't even smart enough to check The Weather Channel to see the temp to know when to turn off or turn on the heat. Refurbished means they strip the woodwork and the hinges and the door knobs, and then paint. No!! Just 80 years of paint build-up. Paint cracking from ceilings and dropping on your head as you enter or leave the rooms. No drapes, nothing to sound-proof the rooms. At least no rats running the halls as there were in the past--or, at least, didn't see any this time. Edison was tour director's forced-choice after being hoodwinked by trip broker who has never visited or stayed in the hotel. Don't let pictures fool you. Try Paramount or Marriott. Equally as close to Times Square.

Arriving late at JFK because of bad weather I called my hotel and the phone was answered by Stephen DeFazio he told me that he would have everything ready when I arrived and not to worry and to get there safe upon arrival everything was in order did not have to wait in line showed my identification and credit card and was off to my room with a beautiful note from the hotel thanking me for my stay The room was what you would expect New York City with a balcony couldn’t ask for a better view especially at night and you can feel the energy from restaurants within the hotel and in the area to all activities and Broadway plays no place better to stay again I would like to thank everyone at the hotel Edison for their service with a spotlight on Stephen DeFazio for making my trip a lot less stressful...
