Stayed here during our visit to New York for New Year’s Eve—seriously the best hotel to stay at near Times Square to see the ball drop.

Views456Strength
The view from the suite was nice, but it's not the quality of a 5-star hotel for the price.

A nice hotel with a great view of the river and decent amenities.
Google, April 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
Despite availability of rooms facing Times Square, no room upgrade—or even a room with a view—was offered.

Charging exorbitant prices for mediocre room, non blackout curtains and extremely noisy location.

Great location on the sidewalks in Manhattan.
Google, June 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
At time, even though we're on the 36th floor, we can hear the street noises throughout the night and all the flashing lights from the billboard was impacting our sleep, but this is not hotels fault.

Value824Weak spot
Definitely can’t recommend the Times Square Edition, especially when you look at what you get for the price!

The price paid applies only to the location!!

Would’ve been great for 400.00 per night but over 600.00 per night!!!

Room size1152Weak spot
Rooms are extremely small, honestly shockingly small, right next to time square which makes if difficult to get in and out of the place due to severe traffic congestion, one of the lower quality Editions I have been to when comparing to the Edition Singapore , Rome etc which are absolutely Ultra…
Google, May 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
They crammed as many 4x4 rooms as they could.
Google, August 2026, rated 3/5 by this guest
I would say the only thing about rooms that they are very small.

Unexpected charges and refundscomplaints rising: 8.1 in 100 a year ago, 11.4 now28 of 2771 in 10 reviews
The destination fee is up to $40 per “day” (which you must use as soon as you arrive and cannot use on your last day), which they won’t tell you about when you check in.
Tripadvisor, May 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
They will not explain the destination fee to you, even when you try to check in.

Expensive food and drinks15 of 2771 in 18 reviews
The destination fee includes 40$ daily credit but in room dining options were super expensive and it barely covered coffee and bottle of water.

Mini bar is extortionate.

Problems in the bathroomcomplaints rising: 3.6 in 100 a year ago, 6.0 now14 of 2771 in 20 reviews
Negatives: Bathroom is “part of the room.” Noise level was incredibly high - making it very difficult to sleep at night.

Only complaint is the bathroom has zero privacy 😂
