Guest Ratings & Reviews
I cannot stop raving about my wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms with a queen-sized bed and ensuite bathroom were so amply supplied and comfortable that even after a week, we did not want to leave. The service was quite gracious and hospitable, with staff going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed the outdoor setting in the evenings. The location is on a main road into downtown, which was great and close to downtown Lexington and all the attractions we wanted to explore. The dining experience with breads, cereals, and eggs cooked to order was simply delicious, and the local products used were a delightful touch. A few minor downsides were the late check-in and limited party size advice to prevent excess food costs, but overall, it was a remarkable experience.
