Not the friendliest customer service. Arrived 2 hours early before check in. Had caught a terrible cold, and asked reception if they can do anything about checking in early. I got a rude no, and ended up passing out on a chair at reception. When I got to the room (well after check in time), it was unclean; trash had... More

As a frequent business traveller to New York, I have never paid so much and received so little for a hotel stay in New York. - An unwanted Alarm clock commencing at 7AM I had the displeasure of waking up to hammering while they proceed with the upgrades to the outdated rooms - A Concierge that had no interest in...

The Lexington Hotel is goin thru a new face lift, especially the lobby area. If you have had been here before, you will notice that the lobby area has changed for the better. More room for hotel guest to carry their luggages and move swiftly in and out of the hotel. BUT, sad enough, the rooms are all the same.... More

Thank you for choosing the Lexington New York City during your last year’s visit to the city. Know that a lot has changed since your last visit. Both service and facilities have been upgraded and by late summer we will complete a multi-million dollar renovation. We appreciate your comments.

Hotel booked for business trip by work and having checked previous reviews, I wasn't looking forward to my short stay. However, I had a clearly refurbished room on the 4th floor, it was quiet, clean and comfortable, although the space for the toilet was a little small. What is obvious, is the new owners are exerting their influence over the... More
