Edison Hotel or Holiday Inn Express manhattan midtown w
I just booked the holiday inn last night and I heard this morning of friends who stayed at edison hotel and really liked it. Address for holiday inn is 538 W 48 St and edison is at 228 W 47 St. Is one place better in terms of location for walking etc.?

I have stayed at the Edison several times, twice in the last 2 yrs. It is an older art deco style hotel, Esp. the lobby and elevator panels. Most Rooms have undergone a refurbish in the last few yrs., get an updated rm. There is an old style diner in the hotel, open 24/7, which is great. And the best part is the awesome Rum House bar that has an entrance from the hotel lobby. That place is great, small and intimate, great old bar to belly up to, cool retro cocktails, and excellent live music with i cover every night. even when I stay somewhere else, I go to that bar for music. It's fantastic and unlike anyother music bar in NYC. Have met some very nice people in there, makes for interesting conversation.
I really like the Edison. My guess is that it has a lot more character than the Holiday Inn Express.

The Edison is a classic old Art Deco hotel. And it still gives pleasant service at the front desk, a pleasant stay, that old time 24/7 diner, and the Rum Bar. IMO, you can not do better for the price point in the
Times Square area, unless there is a really good deal on travelzoo.com in the area at another comparable hotel.
There are only a couple of old Art Deco hotels like this one left in NYC...
