Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
All the staff really nice and my room clean

Hotel Edison Times Square
Room was cozy. A little noisy if you on the street side - but it is right near Broadway so to be expected. If you want to see lots of broad shows this is a place for you. That’s right in the heart of midtown. The 6.50 breakfast is great. Staff at front counter could be a little bit more helpful. ...

Hotel St. James
Very central in New York. It was a little older of a hotel but we really only went to sleep and it was perfect for that. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful.
