Lexington Inn and Suites

Save yourself from getting sick, getting an infection, getting bed bugs, etc. This place should be shut down. The amount of black mold in this dump is out of control

I seldom write reviews, and rarely bad reviews but I am compelled to this time. The Lexington Inn and Suites at JFK is, simply put: a DUMP. Biggest problem: NOT ENOUGH PARKING FOR THE NUMBER OF ROOMS. I arrived to check in at 11pm and the small lot was packed. When I asked about parking I was told I could probably find some parking on the street somewhere. Let me tell you, this is NOT a safe neighborhood, especially late at night. When I expressed my displeasure to find no parking when checking in so late at night I was told that «Limited Parking» is listed on their website. I booked through Expedia, and there was no mention of anything other than free parking. The lobby smelled like B.O. and my room only slightly better. I was honestly afraid to sleep between the sheets of the bed, so I slept in my clothes on top of the bed. I would have never checked into this joint, but I needed badly to crash for just a few hours before my early morning flight out of JFK. This place is a $ 60 a night fleabag joint disguised as a quality hotel for $ 130 a night. Buyer beware. I wouldn’t spend another night at this nightmare of a motel for free. Bates Motel is more hospitable that this dump.

Lexington Inn at Jamaica Queens, NY is a cheap hotel operated by unapproachable rude staff, and horrible stinking bathroom. The only exception is the helpful and friendly young guy at the front desk, who I must give credit for helping us print out some stuff.
The hotel advertises online to have shuttle service, but they do not have it.
Free breakfast consists of sausages, eggs, cereals, bagels, donuts, milk, apple juice, orange juice, coffee, and tea.
The server or food preparer along with the rest of the staff will never smile nor greet you. They will only talk to you to accost or confront you about unofficial policies. Expect them to have a sour tone and more likely to be annoyed when approached.
The room is not too clean, not too dirty, but when something stinks, it is automatically considered unsanitary. The bathroom lingers an unpleasant smell, and the shower switch was tricky to find.

Scary scary scary!!! I don’t care if it’s close to the airport. My life is more important then staying in the basement of a disgusting dirty scary motel! It’s not safe! Don’t stay here! No parking either.

1. Free car parking was mentioned. Which was not true. We had to find parking elsewhere.
2. They gave us smoking room despite us booking non-​smoking. They refused to change rooms, despite us showing them the reservation and confirming from
that it was the case. They also refused to refund despite us telling them that we want to check out and leave. Their reason was that they had cleaned the rooms and such before we checked in. Seriously?!
It could be a one off thing but what really pissed us off was their lame response to issues and their stubborn nature. Seriously, we couldn’t stay one min longer in that room. It was literally suffocating. We had booked just one night there since it was close to JFK. What good is their proximity if they treat their customers with such arrogance! If they had only smoking rooms, they could’ve checked with us if that was ok. Instead they gave it to us and refused to budge for anything after when we came to the lobby and reported the issue!
They are in NO place to run business like this. I would not waste my time and money here. Beware and run far far FAR away from Lexington Inn.

The worst ever! Stains on the bed, walls, bed skirt, filthy carpet. The only reason we had booked this hotel was to be close to the airport. We had missed our flight and didn’t want to worry about traffic in the morning for an early flight. The luggage cart doesn’t even fit in the elevator. We checked in at 8:30pm and we checked out at 10:30pm same night. We lost $ 200 but couldn’t imaging sleeping in those filthy rooms. Staff is not accommodating and they gave us a smoking room! It was horrific. Do not stay here.

I’m giving this hotel 3 stars because it wasn’t that bad. I recommend you bring your own towel and wash cloths I always do I never use hotel wash cloths. I also thought the whole $ 50.00 deposit was different. But like I said it wasn’t that bad to stay here. Yes it’s a cheap hotel for NEW YORK. I would stay here again at the end of the day of the day when I come back home I have bills. If you have bad things to say about the hotel hey go to Manhattan and pay $ 400.00 bucks a night for a hotel YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR…

Very rude staff, dingy hotel, poorly insulated window (noisy), bad smell on second floor, hair dryer doesn’t work, tub drained slowly.
We had no choice but to stay here since we needed to be near hospital. Would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy! Easily, the dumpiest hotel we have ever stayed in, but we do typically stay at higher end hotels.
Avoid this one if you can

Hotel was cheap and decently clean. I didn’t feel terribly dirty but my towel did have brown dirt spots all over it and the sheet on the bed was a little gross. Otherwise everything worked just fine service was fine and price wasn’t bed for what you get. You pretty much are getting what you paid for here. Expect what you are paying for. Good place if your looking for a place to crash for the night and not planning to stay.

Horrible. First of all after you pay, when you first check in they demand a mandatory $ 50 deposit. You get it back when you check out but still shady and I have never seen a hotel require that before. In my room I was shocked to find no comforter on the bed, just a thin fleece blanket over the bed sheet. I also found cigarette burns all over the fleece. I called to ask for a replacement as well as a extra blanket since it was so thin. I got a rude response, saying that there was only one blanket per room. I hate this place, and the staff are not helpful nor care. Never coming here again.

These people a pieces of crap we booked on
did not get what we wanted they argued with us over it very crappy service and to top it off I have a room for 3 days on day two they go in our room pack all of our stuff up in garbage bags STEAL 3 EXPENSIVE WATCHES I BOUGHT MY WIFE and even tho we booked another room for the next day they would not let us stay for some reason…
DO NOT STAY HERE… THESE PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE HUMANS AND DO NOT DESERVE TO RUN A HOTEL MAYBE A TRASH PICKING UP COMPANY… NOT A HOTEL…
I will never in my life stay here again and I advise you not to either if you like your belongings…

You want a cheap AND clean place? You got it here. but you won’t be getting more.
There’s no fridge or microwave. The shower is very unintuitive to use (you have to pull down on the brass thing in the tub faucet)
Most annoyingly, the walls barely block any sound! It was snowing last night and I could hear the snow plows sitting right outside with their engines idling. Even without the snow plows, you will be hearing noises out in the halls and ambulances coming to the nearby hospital all night long.
Please add the highest quality earplugs you can afford to your shopping list if you decide to come here. Trust me, you’ll need them!
