Enjoyed my stay at the Lexington hotel, check in was very quick and I was able to check in early, I was given a really nice room on the elite floor on the 22nd floor.
The room was big and comfortable and had a massive outside terrace. My bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean.
The hotel breakfast and it was a buffet style and had a good selection, I like to stay at this hotel as it's not in a crazy busy area and you can relax and have some personal space In the city.

Went with Expedia discount as an elite member. Booking includes $35 daily bar/meal credit, free bottled water, and city bike passes. Staff (we were checked in by Jenny) was had excellent, genuine hospitality. Be prepared for a $35/night resort fee. Great hotel location, atmosphere, history, and views of Manhattan. Gym is shared with other hotels; there is enough space, but be prepared to work out in close quarters with others. Will highly consider returning.

4th of July weekend trip

Checking in was quick and easy! I am happy that my room was ready early at 11:30am for a holiday weekend!

Checking in was quick and easy! I am happy that my room was ready early at 11:30am for a holiday weekend! The hallways when you get off the elevators to the room does smell moldy and looks outdated and my room was super tiny even inside the shower tub area but I was only there for a few days so didn’t really matter too much as long as everything was clean that’s what mattered the most. They do offer free wifi which is nice and offer a free $35 credit to use at bar or breakfast each day which I used at the bar but they do charge a 18% service charge not sure if that’s the tip included or not? Just be prepared to pay $30 per day for like a resort fee or whatever they called it but they do let you know upfront when checking in at front desk. I do like the location of it being in midtown close to everything I wanna see and do. I was worried after reading the most recent bad reviews that it was gonna be an extremely horrible stay but it wasn’t as bad as everyone says it was but it wasn’t the best either.

Change for the worse

Did they change the management recently? This used to be my go-to hotel. I loved chatting with Philippe at the concierge desk and there was a wonderful European woman working at the front desk (can’t remember UK or Germany)…
Now the check in took over 30min - 4 people working 2 computers (why?) while the other 2 computers are sitting empty. …

Now the check in took over 30min - 4 people working 2 computers (why?) while the other 2 computers are sitting empty. There was a line of us piping up waiting to get checked in. They closed the Elite check in line and yelled at Marriott elite members waiting to get on the other side of the rope.
Every time I had to interact with anyone at the front desk seemed like a huge inconvenience.
My room was not cleaned at all one day. When I causally asked a cleaning person in the hallway the following day if they will clean my room - she barked at me and told me she leaves at 3pm. That was when I was leaving in the morning, so not sure how 3pm is relevant.
Dry cleaning was not brought to my room until I called and they had to look for it - I needed that dress for a business meeting early next morning.
My second to last night the elevator, my floor and my room smelled like cigarettes. It was horrible - I messaged the hotel but obviously nothing changed.
I actually left the room one night early without checking out early - I figured I wouldn’t get the refund for the last night anyway (I had it booked till Saturday but I left Friday). I spent my last night at a friend’s place in NYC because I didn’t want to risk the cigarette smoke again.

with equally large bathroom. Thoroughly cleaned each day. Great Location, M4 Bus up Madison Ave and down Fifth, also subway only two blocks away. Can walk to Rock Center.
Delicious buffet breakfast ($36 pp, NYC rates), wide variety of offerings, hot breakfast cooked just right, melon firm and juicy, not overripe. Lobby ambience good, intg hotel history (Monroe/Dimaggio, etc). Staff helpful, most really pleasant and caring.
We commend several staff members: Jenny and Nurat at check-in (a room was substituted for our original booking) but most of all Robin K, Front Desk Mgr for his handling of a very difficult night housekeeping situation. Also David a concierge for bus info.
Like two recent other guests, we don't understand the negative reviews. Maybe some rooms are less desirable, ours including bathroom was great.
