Just to follow up, I stayed in late October. My room was small, but I didn't not any maintenance or housekeeping problems. Hotel rooms in Midtown East are generally not cheap and I would return to the Radisson Lexington if I got it at a decent rate (say, $140 or less). I didn't think it was dumpy, but I wouldn't say it was anything particularly special, either. Be advised that it can be difficult to check in before late afternoon.
