LEX HOTEL NYC, New York

Four metro stations within 10 minutes' walk provide quick access across Manhattan, with Grand Central Station about a 15-minute walk away. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the 6 train at 23rd and 28th Streets, convenient for uptown museums, Union Square, and connections to Brooklyn. Midtown landmarks, Penn Station, and the Empire State Building are within easy walking distance. The neighbourhood feels safe with abundant dining options: Shake Shack and Eataly are a short walk, and Gramercy Tavern is less than 500 m away. A CVS and a Whole Foods Market are just around the corner.

Room sizes range from compact 'cozy' doubles to larger junior suites with separate living and sleeping areas. Many rooms have a small balcony or terrace, though some face inward with limited views. The basic furniture and older carpeting can feel spartan, and storage space for suitcases is limited in smaller rooms. Junior suite beds include either a queen or two queens with a sofa bed, all within the same room. Light sleepers should request a room at the rear of the building, as street-facing rooms and a ground-floor nightclub can cause noise. Some basement-level rooms have no window view and may have additional noise from pipes. A safety deposit box (fits a 13x13 laptop) is available, but no mini-fridge, microwave, or coffee maker is provided. Air conditioning is individually controlled via a wall unit, which can be noisy.

Breakfast is self-serve in the lobby and includes croissants, muffins, cereal with milk, apples, oranges, coffee, tea, and orange juice. There are no hot dishes or non-dairy milk. The hotel has no kitchen and no restaurant on site, but free coffee and tea are available all day and can be brought to your room upon request. A wide selection of restaurants is within a 5-minute walk, including Shake Shack, Gramercy Tavern, Eataly, and many casual and upscale options. A mini grocery store is next door.

The rooftop terrace on the 7th floor provides outdoor seating and a view of the Manhattan skyline. It is a quiet spot to unwind with a drink or a snack, though opening times may vary. There is no pool, spa, or gym on site.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas. A 24-hour front desk handles express check-in/check-out, luggage storage (free before check-in and after checkout), and concierge services. Daily housekeeping is available on request. Dry cleaning is offered for a fee. Parking is not available on site, but a partner lot (Automotion Parking System) between East 24th St and Lexington Ave charges $38 per 24 hours with in/out privileges for $45 per 24 hours. The hotel is fully accessible with wheelchair-accessible rooms, raised toilets, grab rails, and a lift. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Discover, and MasterCard.
