Top Downtown Lexington Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was across the street and mixed use with arena. Consider valet if an event day at the arena. Validation ticket didn't work, had to walk back to get a replacement. Room was clean. Plenty of storage/counter in bathroom. Walking to several dining options, including in-house."
