"Visiting the city with a friend for a play and concert and wanting to stay away from the busiest parts of the city, we chose to stay a little further out but wanted easy access to different parts of the city. The Edge Hotel in Washington Heights had great rates and reviews so we booked it. As mentioned in most reviews, it's very convenient to the subway. Our room was clean and we had plenty of towels and toiletries. (The towels were super soft!) We were in 1101 and had a beautiful view of the city skyline. It was particularly pretty at night. The guys at the front desk were very kind and accommodating. There is a Starbucks one block up on the corner opposite the subway entrance and next to it, a fabulous bagel shop. Our trip was delayed for 2 days due to bad weather so unfortunately we didn't get to try the two local restaurants that had been recommended, Malecon and Saggio. I plan to return soon with my husband and we will definately be considering this location."
