I have been staying at the Lexington for years. This last stay was so bad, my team and I agreed it is time to find a new home base in NYC. We witnessed a horrific argument between the bellman and another front of house employee that involved screaming, every foul word under the sun, and threats, all while ignoring a line of patrons waiting to check bags. And yes, some children walked by. The following day, I walked into the lobby from the street, holding two Starbucks drink carriers with 8 drinks, and a bag of catering hanging from each arm. The same two men stood there, staring at me with their arms crossed, without any offer to help me open the door or acknowledgement that perhaps I might need assistance. We used to put up with the poor water pressure, tiny rooms, and lack of amenities because the employees were kind and made us feel welcome. Now this is simply an overpriced old hotel with two rude, angry, and threatening men standing at the front entrance. Read less

Pretty bad experience here yesterday. Older hotel which I realize. But it’s so loud with all the doors slamming in the halls. Wouldn’t be a huge issue if the rooms weren’t so tiny and directly on top of each other. You can hear everything through the walls. My room also smelled horrible. Pluses- the downstairs lobby bar is beautiful and had… Read more

Pluses- the downstairs lobby bar is beautiful and had great drinks and great service The Crunch gym guests are allowed to use on the lower level is also awesome. Read less

Pros: Beautiful old hotel, helpful staff, great location, windows that open, nice bar, access to Crunch Fitness in the bldg., bag storage after checkout for $3/bag. Cons: My "queen" room had a double bed, not a queen. Mattress was a bit softer/squishier than most hotel beds. Lots of HVAC and plumbing noise, and sounds from adjacent rooms.… Read more
Pros: Beautiful old hotel, helpful staff, great location, windows that open, nice bar, access to Crunch Fitness in the bldg., bag storage after checkout for $3/bag. Cons: My "queen" room had a double bed, not a queen. Mattress was a bit softer/squishier than most hotel beds. Lots of HVAC and plumbing noise, and sounds from adjacent rooms. Things that are totally outside of the hotel's control: construction scaffolding everywhere! The whole facade of the hotel is just covered in it. Starbucks next to lobby was closed for renovation. FWIW: everyone hates hotel "resort" or "destination" fees. That said the $35/night destination fee is actually worth it here. It includes a $35 credit at the restaurant, which covers either one breakfast (which we did not have) or a couple of drinks (which we did). It includes access to Crunch Fitness, which if you exercise in hotels frequently you'll appreciate is a huge upgrade over the standard hotel fitness room. And it includes access to citibikes, which are parked right outside the front door. Read less

Our check-in experience was a disaster. Arrived at 2:30pm and gave my credit card to the staff. I was told room would not be ready until 5pm and was asked to check in my luggage with the Concierge. Cost me $3 to do so which is ridiculous! My daughter arrived before I got back and the staff could not locate our reservation. After 90 min, she was… Read more
Our check-in experience was a disaster. Arrived at 2:30pm and gave my credit card to the staff. I was told room would not be ready until 5pm and was asked to check in my luggage with the Concierge. Cost me $3 to do so which is ridiculous! My daughter arrived before I got back and the staff could not locate our reservation. After 90 min, she was given another room and the hotel billed her credit card. I then returned to find her in a room that was not what was promised earlier. The night manager told me he would give us another room. First he had to check it was ok and told us to wait in the room she was allocated. No one came to give us the keys for the new room as we were told. 40 min later(now 11:30pm), the night manager said “oh, no-one came?”. He advised the new room would have 2 Queen beds and when we got there, it had one double bed. By this time, we were exasperated. We got a roller bed brought in and slept there that night. The next day I learned that both our credit cards had been billed for the accommodation! I then spent almost 2 hours to get this corrected. That afternoon I had to spend another 45 min getting the right room. Never again! The Management need to retrain their staff and ensure proper notes in the hotel’s check in process. Read less

The hotel could use a bit of a refurb. I wouldn’t really put it on the same league as most Autographs. The HVAC didn’t work one of the nights so it was baking in the room. They sent someone to fix it the next day and it got better but not fixed 100%. Breakfast was mediocre. Room was mediocre. Nothing bad, but nothing great either. Just blah.… Read more

I’m Titanium Elite but the hotel was sold out and had no upgrade availability. But they did a good job linking three reservations since my stay kept extending. On leaving they charge you $3/bag to keep the bag for a couple of hours. Chintzy was the word I used with my wife. Read less
