Cedar Grove Trip

This hotel is very old. They keep air conditioning units in windows year round, which makes for a chilly room. They also have radiators in the room that bang and make quite a bit of noise through the night while you are trying to sleep, but luckily I brought earplugs. Our toilet ran the whole time we were there, but the shower was hot and a nice size. Beds were a little small but comfortable. Elevators are small and there is only two of them. They have a nice little area with books and the front desk staff were very nice. Excellent location. Very close to Times Square and I felt safe while visiting. The only thing that really bothered me was the very strong scent in the lobby. It was like the glade plug in’s on steroids. For someone with asthma, not easy to deal with. I would stay again though.

Hotel was a few blocks from Times Square and offered a friendly staff, exceptionally friendly doorman, clean rooms refreshed daily, and wonderful complimentary breakfast buffet that had everything you could ever want to choose from.

No issues. Nice property, good location, attentive staff. Only knock is that the family suite has some very sharp edges that are eye-level for kids and had us worried. Throw some corner protectors on those and it’s a very reasonably sized and comfortable launching point for exploring Manhattan.

The staff was fantastic! Went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Me and my daughter recently stayed at the Lexington Hotel in NYC, and while the property is beautifully maintained and staffed, our experience was marred by an unexpected 'destination fee'. The location is unbeatable, and the front desk team was top-notch. Plus, the complimentary bottled water was a thoughtful touch. However, the $35 daily fee, mandatory and not clearly disclosed while booking, felt like a sneaky attempt to tack on extra charges. Yes, you can use the $35 as credit around the hotel, but again it’s mandatory. Overall, I'd recommend the Lexington for its prime location and excellent service, but be aware of this added expense to factor it into your budget.
