Top Keeneland Racing Course Hotel Reviews

Tru by Hilton University Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel and close to lots of restaurants and airport"

Hampton Inn Lexington South-Keeneland/Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The receptionist at the desk in the evening was wonderful - engaging, helpful, positive. We did find a dirty toilet when we arrived the was never a concern to housekeeping. Not acceptable"

The Campbell House Lexington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. The thing I do not like is being charged for parking. I feel the charge of $15.00 is petty for a hotel chain like the Hilton."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lexington Green

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot say enough, good things about this hotel. Everything was spotless. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. The staff were absolutely the best staff I have ever witnessed in a hotel. Always friendly always spoke to you. How was your day? How are you doing? Do you need anything. I would rank this hotel the best that I have ever stayed at great job staff."

Residence Inn Lexington Keeneland/Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a wonderful location. The staff and hospitality staff were very accommodating. However, being charged for parking and charging a credit card for the hotel charges seemed extensive. It took too many times to get the hot water to come on. We had to stop and start numerous times. As for the breakfast selections would recommend purchasing waffle machines for guests to use, some of the selections for breakfast did not seems to be enjoyed."

Candlewood Suites Lexington Medical District by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying here. A bonus for us is that we know Crystal is working when we show up and she knows what we are going through with our loved one in the hospital, so she always makes us feel welcomed and makes our stay more like home. She is why we keep coming back."

"Place in transition and staff made it pleasurable!!"

The Kentucky Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Very unique property and restaurant is delicious as well and portions were definitely more than we expected. The corner tower room we stayed in was impressive. It was definitely worth the side quest stop to stay here as our halfway point to Tennessee. If you’re looking for a unique place to stay I highly recommend."
