"People were absolutely awesome at the Good Place B&B. I felt so welcomed during my entire stay, from checking in to check in out and every breakfast in between, which were great and delicious by the way. A great place to spend a few days away in nature, but a close drive to many historic locations and natural attractions in the area. The rooms amenities could use some improvement (new towels and linen come to mind). Other than that, I would definitely stay here again. "

Top Southern Virginia University Hotel Reviews

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast could have added a protein, other than that it was good."

The Georges

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 4 nights, so we had luggage. There is no elevator, and this was one of the oldest historical buildings in the city, so the stairs were very narrow. That part was difficult, but the room, the staff, the luxury appointments, were all excellent. The GM, John, was one of the friendliest hotel managers I ever met. This property is directly in the heart of this small town, everywhere from here that you want to go is walkable. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and we would definitely return."

Hampton Inn Lexington-Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean , nice staff , lots of parking, breakfast was a hotel breakfast, not good"

Abigail Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was so restful and enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious. The hospitality was top notch. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the Lexington area. The location is so convenient to historic Lexington."

Holiday Inn Express Lexington by IHG

8/10 Good

"Everything was excellent, except that there is no sound proofing and the room to room and hallway to room noise was unnerving. It’s a super location and facility, but if you need quiet to sleep, not a good fit."

Best Western Plus Inn at Hunt Ridge
