Disliked: Cleanliness
The bed was comfortable. The rugs are old and worn. There are many shelves that have not been cleaned in a long time. There was dust hanging off the top of the moulding above the bathroom door. I found nuts on the floor. The shower was good. The room badly needs a paint job. Person at the desk was pleasant and helpful.

Beautiful hotel. The only downsides (if you can even call them that) is a small tv in the room and lacking in the working power outlet department but we loved our stay and would stay again!
Beautiful view from our room!

There were several marks on the wall and the bathroom had lots of hair from the previous guests. I luckily brought cleaning products to clean the room myself. We only stayed 2 of the 3 nights due to the noise from elevator and other guests seemed like they were in the room with us. The staff was nice however we would not return due to the noise.

The Gin Hotel is a beautifully refurbished "Grand" Hotel in a small Virginia town. Located on Main Street in downtown Lexington, it is two blocks from Washington and Lee University and five blocks from the Virginia Military Institute. Lexington's Main Street has been reinventing itself each year over the fifty-five years since I graduated from W&L and it is now populated with unique shops, craft stores and restaurants. The hotel is quiet, clean and well maintained. Unlike when I was in Lexington in the late 1960s, the town is ringed with the usual collection of mid-level hotel chains. These are all fine hotels but ones like these can be found in virtually every town in the US. Staying in historic downtown Lexington (for the same price) is so much more fun!

Comfy bed and very clean!

Beautiful town, comfortable bed (pillows suck) and the room is very clean. Awesome rain head shower with lots of hot water. Staff was super nice and check in went smoothly. Breakfast is the usual but they had fresh yogurt and fruit which was nice. It’s a little worn looking in spots and the walls are pretty thin but overall will stay again when traveling through.

The Gin Hotel is our favorite hotel to stay in when in Lexington. So many great restaurants within walking distance and the Juniper Lounge on the 2nd floor mezzanine of the hotel is a fun spot to get cocktails and delicious food as well!
