The Lexington Hotel

Patrick Sisson

I was very pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Lexington Hotel! The rooms are small (true of nearly every hotel in NYC) however the closet was very deep and the dresser was just large enough for my partner and I to unpack. Perfect sized room for two people - any more would have been a bit of a stretch. Same is true for the bathroom - small but just enough shelves & storage to unpack. Great water pressure in the shower and no issues with hot water. Heating & AC worked as expected. Housekeeping was consistent, refreshing towels and emptying trash on a daily basis was so helpful! The elevators were very efficient and reliable, never had any issues getting in or out of our room. The location is great! Super walkable to the theater district and very fun to be in close proximity to 5th Ave, Rock Center, and the SE corner of Central Park. Overall a great stay, would come back and would recommend to a friend!

Very disappointing Hotel experience. Nice lobby but from there on everything goes south. Every day very long lines infront of the elevators sinve only half of them are working. Longest wait time was 15 minutes. When entering the room you will immediately see how dated and used everything in the room is. Chairs are dirty, walls are scratched and have wholes and the curtains are completely missing. No coffee or tea in the room. Not sure how this can be a four star experience. If you can choose another hotel. The Lexington is for sure not worth the money.

The hotel is beautiful the location is really good, but for the price I was expecting a better room and breakfast service. The room had a slight smell and felt a bit small. The breakfast was the same for three days in a row and the options were very limited. Another thing I didn’t like was the nightly bar fee, even if you don’t use the bar, you still have to pay for that service. On top of that, the bar bill automatically includes an 18% service charge without asking, and then they still ask for an additional tip.

Surprised about these negative reviews. In New York City, you have to pay an inordinate amount of money to get a large expansive room. So the room was a fairly standard size, but very efficient in what it had to offer. This hotel, symbolizes old world glamour with a lot of detailed finishing touches. In fact, Joe DiMaggio, and Marilyn Monroe lived here at one point. The location is marvelous, the staff went above and beyond, and it was super convenient for everything we had to do in the Midtown area. All in all, a great experience. We will return to this hotel for sure.

I arrived after a long morning of travel. My room wasn’t ready yet, which is understandable, but I had specifically come by to drop my luggage because I have a back injury and couldn’t carry it around the city. Despite this, they almost didn’t let me store my bags at all—and then informed me there was a $3 luggage-storage fee, which feels unreasonable given that I’m spending over $500 per night for a very basic room. What made it even more disappointing is that I’m a Platinum Elite member, yet the service didn’t reflect that in any way. They wouldn’t take a card or charge it to my room—only cash, which most people don’t carry anymore. Later that evening, when I returned, there was no bellman and no acknowledgment or apology for the earlier inconvenience. Instead, the only comment was that they would make sure to charge my room later for the $3. Wow thanks for confirming to charge me $3 after I’ve spent thousands on this company. It’s unbelievably petty considering the price point of this hotel. The rooms are also below average. It’s crazy to me what they think they can charge here. I’ve stayed in way better NY Marriott properties. I frequently come to NY for work and will not come here again.
