DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Lexington

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. The Staff was quite helpful. Had great areas to hang out for our Mardet Reunion, thank you."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Georgetown, KY

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at this Country Inn several times. Each time we are happy with the cleanliness and value. The location is great and near the highway to continue our trip. It is near just about anything you may need food, coffee, stores etc. I would say the mattress in our room was not great and was springy and noisy every time we moved. Some attention to replacing light switch covers and smaller details would help take this hotel up a notch. It is clean and well appointed for the price. We will stay again but if another chain has a close price we may look just for the fact that the mattress was that bad."

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to downtown, UK, and everything south side. Fantastic staff too."
