Not as bad as expected!
We booked our break to New York in March 2010, my husband and I were very excited until we checked the most recent reviews of the Hotel Radisson Lexington. When we arrived we were given an ample room although the bathroom could have benefitted from a refit.
The staff were very friendly and not pushy or wanting tipped all the time!!
Starbucks was in the foyer which was a major plus. The hotel also had a good gym which my husband used everyday. 
Staff were very helpful at the guest services and booked our transport back to the airport and also very knowledge.
Radisson Lexington is in a great central position.
