21c Museum Hotel Lexington
It was fine but the fact that the bar was closed at 10:30!when we and 1/2 the hotel had attended a concert and were looking forward to having a after dinner drink really sucked… would not stay there again… kind of a fake hotel , nice room but you don’t really feel like it was worth the$500 per night ...
