This was a quick trip for 2 nights. The value of what I received felt better than other properties. My room had a city view, a microwave, and a refrigerator. It also included a nice full breakfast minus the tip and tax. I would definitely stay again. It is also located within four to 6 blocks of all of the best broadway shows.

Liked: Staff & service
I recently stayed at Hotel Lex48 in New York City. While the location was convenient and the staff was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout my stay, the property itself could use some updating. The hotel feels dated, and the rooms would benefit from some renovation. I also noticed that the corners of the room were not as clean as I would have expected. One inconvenience was the lack of an ice machine—you have to request ice from the front desk each time. The lobby is quite small, and because we stayed on the third floor, street noise was very noticeable. The windows and walls are thin, so be prepared to hear plenty of the sounds of New York, especially if you're a light sleeper. That said, the staff was the highlight of the stay. Everyone I interacted with was welcoming, courteous, and eager to help, which made the experience much more pleasant.

The hotel has big clean rooms that are nicely appointed with good AC and fast elevators. There is a $27 resort fee per room per night of stay for use of the fitness center and for the complimentary wine reception every day at 5 pm. We did not go to the reception, but we did try to use the fitness center that advertised 2 peloton bikes. Neither bike was usable. One was missing the knob to adjust the seat height. The other bike was not connected to the internet and stayed off. Both were in bad shape and the water bottle holders were cracked off. There were only used towels strewn about and the water machine was broken. We informed the staff at the beginning of our 4 night stay but there were no improvements. This is a good hotel if you aren't planning on using the bikes. You also have to factor in the extra charge for staying there.
