"Great location when going to the race track"

Studio 6 Suites Lexington, Kentucky

8/10 Good

"It was just standard Motel 6. But, it was clean and comfortable. I was not pleased with the room being right next to the noisy highway. But, the heating system fan was so loud it helped to drown out the cars. I would have appreciated more info on how to work the TV. It was too complicated for my age group."

The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Good location"

Residence Inn by Marriott Lexington City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean, and modern hotel. Desk staff was super friendly. Charming little "Convient store" in the lobby. Central location within walking distance of several shops, restaurants, Rupp Arena, and more. Parking lot located underneath was helpful. Only MILD complaints would be the breakfast bar was a little cold and mostly empty by 9:40 even though breakfast is served until 10... and the room was supposed to have a white noise machine but it didn't, and it was very loud until after 1am with people drinking and playing live music at bars around the hotel."

Chez Lyndon Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Great bed and breakfast. House was beautiful and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious."
