First time in NY. Great location, clean room and view, but poor heating and not enough hot water in extreme cold.
Pros:

The location is great. The room and the view were very nice, and the room was very clean. However, the hot water was not very hot, especially since it was very cold outside. The central heating was quite noisy and did not provide enough warmth.

Wonderful!
Pros:

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was a bit hesitant about my reservation. I wasted time with worry as my experience was wonderful from the minute I stepped into Hotel 48LEX. Brady at the front desk checked me in quickly and said my room was available.

My room was quite spacious and very comfortable. The thermostat was set and the room was nice and warm especially since it was extremely cold outside.

This hotel was convenient to where I needed to be, and was also very close to Grand Central Station, which made continuing my trip on Saturday afternoon very easy.

The staff that I encountered over the weekend were quite friendly. Checkout was a breeze. I would gladly stay at Hotel 48LEX again.
