We stayed in The Edison Hotel just off Times Square.
We had stayed there before and it made sense to stay again. I emailed well in advance to request 2 adjoining rooms. Apparently this request couldnāt be accommodated but straight across the hall was the best alternative.
Be advised: we booked & paid for flights, baggage & accommodation before we left.
We were then asked to pay for the cleaning of each room $183 - which is separate to d price of a room. Considering we had 2 rooms this was a shock!!
We did all the tourist stuff!!
A 2hr security check was needed to go onto Liberty Island which was disappointing but we did the 1hr boat trip with Big City Tours & that was hosted by a guy called Kevin who was so cool!!
Initially, another company had cornered us quite aggressively to purchase their tickets. It started at $150 for 5 of us, which seemed reasonable, but when you add on the taxes & fees it came out at $300!!!!
Overall we had an amazing time.
