The Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"Need more light in rooms, light switches hard to find - stylish, but challenging!"

Hyatt Regency Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the cleanliness of the property and the professional attitude of the staff."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Lexington-Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel"

21c Museum Hotel Lexington

8/10 Good

"Comfy beds, clean room, great bathroom lighting. Great location downtown! Wish restaurant was open"

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great boutique hotel with a lot of character and a wonderful restaurant as well. We really enjoyed our stay! Staff was extremely helpful."

Candlewood Suites Lexington Medical District by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean. Nice property!"

Tru by Hilton University Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and was either new or recently remodeled. The room uses the new compact layout many hotels are going to where every inch of space is used. The room is small, but still open enough to move around comfortably. The shower had good pressure, and the included toiletries were of decent quality. The TP wasn't great, but it usually isn't in many hotels. The bed was a bit firm for my tastes, but the pillows had some bounce. The TV had streaming services preinstalled, meaning we could watch our own Netflix and Disney+ shows in the evenings. The breakfast was mediocre. Better than a continental, but not as good as other places I've stayed. The always-available free coffee was good, though. All in all, an excellent hotel. I would stay here again, for sure."

The Campbell House Lexington, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly. Bathroom is small, missing some basic amenities, ie hair dryer, hooks for hanging towels, clothing."

Residence Inn by Marriott Lexington City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect for exploring downtown. The staff was super helpful. The room was very clean and the pillows are great."
