Ok, it's not the Ritz, but NYC's art deco Hotel Edison is more than a decent place to stay.
And it has 2 big pluses:
1. Location. At 228 West 47th, it's steps from the theatre district, Times Square, Radio City, Rockefeller Center, MOMA, etal.
In other words: the preferred tourist spot.
2. Price. For a mid-Manhattan flop house, it's always rea$onable - by Big Apple standards.
And this winter it's offering 30% off for guests staying 4 or more nights. 2 or 3 nights net 20%.
That means booking a queen bed room (or 1 double, 2 twins or even 2 queens) will set you back - for a 4 night stay (say from Weds Feb 1 through Sun Feb 5) - about $85.05 per night before taxes.
With Uncle Sam's cut, figure about $101 per.
These discounted prices are good until March 31.
Ok, there are those who say the place is a dump & complain about room size, bad beds, etc., but just as many (if not more) past guests give the joint a thumbs up.
Personally, I've stayed here numerous times & agree that it isn't the lap of luxury, but it is comfortable, clean & safe. I truly feel that this is a good deal & a decent return for your travel $.

And yes, there are 53 Hotel Ed reports filed on the Bed Bug Registry, but many of these state that there were no bugs seen during a guest's stay.
Plus 'Dave from Ottawa' even gives a hint on how the creative use of a shower curtain can keep you bedbug free in his 07/20/2011 entry.

And for only around a 'C' note a night, you'll have plenty of extra coin to buy your own shower curtain - just in case.
