Hyatt Regency Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"Peter at the concierge was very helpful in informing us of local eatery. Loved your location to many local attractions."

Candlewood Suites Lexington Medical District by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"clean"

The Campbell House Lexington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The property and our room was extremely clean and nice, the bed super comfortable. The food & drinks at the Rackhouse was amazing especially the Fried Chicken! Highly recommended!! However, my only complaint is with the bathroom, there’s no place to put your things, no shelf space and there’s plenty of room for it. Oh and having to pay for waters?! For the cost of the room water should be free!"

Hilton Lexington/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great ! Needs to be better parking options i have a large suv and it is hard to find a spot it will fit into unless at the main top that has no coverage over my suv 😩"

The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

Lexington Marriott City Center

10/10 Excellent

"The property and our stay was excellent. If I could improve it, I'd like to have movies on demand (for a price of course) and better selections for room service food."

Residence Inn by Marriott Lexington City Center

10/10 Excellent

"This is definitely a very well maintained. Very nice hotel. I stayed on the residence side of the Marriott but everything was perfect. Car was safe in the under ground parking garage right there at the property easily accessible to have everything. The breakfast was amazing. The rooftop restaurant and bar has a very large list of spirits. The food is amazing. Also at that rooftop restaurant all around is a great experience. For the one night me and my fiance were there."
