3 star Hotels in Union Square

I've stayed at quite a few 'boutique' hotels in the city before and The Lex is way beyond any of them in just about every aspect. The hotel is pretty new - opened in March 2014 so the rooms, fittings and furnishings are all in great condition and spotlessly clean. Beds are super-comfortable and bathroom well fitted. The rooms themselves are not big - as you would expect in the mid-town area at this price range, but most definitely bigger than some I've stayed in. My stay was probably longer than the average visitor - I was there for a little under two weeks and at no point did I feel cramped or claustrophobic. Admittedly, I did change my initial 3rd floor back-facing room for a higher floor facing Lexington and not only was the room a better shape but having the view from the window gave more light and a better feeling of space. The staff are super friendly and helpful...truly....made a big difference to the atmosphere in the hotel. They even made me coffee at 4 am (!!) and the complimentary continental breakfast was a plus (although there's a limit to how many croissants you can eat in two weeks!!). Tuesday evenings all guests are invited for a glass of wine in the lobby which is a nice touch.

Very cute, clean and comfy, would with out a doubt stay here again and recommend to others.

Booked this room for my inlaws and nephews, they loved it said it was clean and sociopath staff was very friendly and were very pleased with their stay.

To be honest making this reservation made me nervous. There is no office, it seems like it could be a scam. The people were nice but there was no face to face meeting. The building itself is old and it shows. The cleaners do the best they can, and it wasn't dirty but just old and run down looking, the shower should be updated. No elevator (and no mention of this on expedia... so if you can't do stairs don't book this). I never signed anything or met with anyone upon leaving. If the apartment is going to be rented, an email with the name of exact person letting you in along with a photo would be very nice and reassuring. The email did come up as spam in my inbox as well, so a more professional email address that is registered to the business would be a big thumbs up. It was a nice place for the price and gave us more of the NYC experience.

Rooms aren't huge but they comfortable and clean. Hotel is modern and well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is excellent. Great hotel for the price.
