Top Lexington Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Lexington North

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Lexington North

10/10 Excellent
"Melissa and Louis at the front desk are exceptional employees. They welcomed me in the most personal way and helped me with directions and everything I needed. My room was conveniently close to the front desk and the breakfast was fuller (with more items and options) than other comparable hotels I have stayed in. My room did not have a luggage rack but Melissa quickly found one for me. The WiFi was a bit slow, but I still was able to do my work. The only problem I encountered during the stay was lack of parking close to the front desk and obstructions due to the concrete work going on blocking the front entrance entirely on my departure day and also blocking the side entrance with workers standing around, making backing out of my parking place challenging. I was glad my key worked to get in the side door, but I don't know what I would have done if I had found the entrance completely blocked off if the day prior when I was checking in. But overall, the location was perfect as was the room and breakfast and the help at the front desk was EXTRAORDINARY. Those two employees deserve kudos for service."

"I was pleasantly pleased with the Elwood hotel. It was very clean and decorated lovely.The rooms are large and spacious. The staff was wonderful to us and our dog Lily. There are many places to bring your dog for a walk and they even had dog bags. We will be returning there every time we go to Kentucky to visit our son in college."

GuestHouse Lexington

10/10 Excellent
"A comfortable space, clean, friendly staff, and great for the price. Hotel is smoking free, so you don’t have that wandering smoke smell you sometimes get in hotels that allow both. I was meeting people for breakfast at a different location, so I didn’t eat their breakfast, but the offerings were worthy."
