Top Downtown Lexington Hotel Reviews

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"beautiful"

Hyatt Place Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoy this hotel. I’ve been staying here 3-4 x a year for the he last 5 years or so. It’s still nice, but it’s starting to look worn. Bed is great, quiet and clean, but getting a little beat up. I’ll still stay here! Breakfast is great as well. Several very good restaurants within an easy walk. I’m lazy and kinda fat, so I’m talking maybe 5 minutes at a slow fat man walk."
