The location was perfect. Not too close amd not too far away from Time Square. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the lounge on the 2nd floor. The breakfast at the restaurant was surprisingly good. I would totally stay again. One of the best hotels we have stayed in while in NY.

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.

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.
