Top Lexington Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Lexington -Horse Park

10/10 Excellent

"close to cracker barrel and mcdonald convenient to sightsee at very reasonable price"

Comfort Inn & Suites Lexington - Hamburg I-75

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff was very helpful . The only issue was the I-75 road noise in our room facing the highway . Was very close and 75db outside our room. Could hear every tractor trailer. We moved to the other side of the hotel and we couldn't hear them. Make note.! The breakfast was very average ."

Hyatt Place Lexington

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. We did specifically book there’s because of the indoor pool and the larger rooms, but the pool was closed. The rooms were spacious, clean and they had a pack n play for our use as well. Breakfast was great and our check in and out process was smooth."

Hilton Lexington/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was good and I had a super clean room."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lexington/UK Coldstream

10/10 Excellent

"This place is conveniently located next to grocery store, gas stations and restaurants. It has easy access to downtown, airport and highway systems. The staff is pleasant and efficient. The rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet."

GuestHouse Lexington

8/10 Good

"The room was updated and very clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was slightly disappointing but satisfactory. This hotel does not have an elevator so getting my wife's extremely heavy bag up the long flight of stairs was a chore (should have taken a room on the first floor; wish they had mentioned that right away). Also our room was just off the stairs by the large foyer/check in area so any noise in the lobby or preparing for the breakfast easily heard in our room, so get a room away from the foyer. Overall, I would stay here again; I would just get a room on the first floor away from the lobby."
