Top Richmond Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lexington/UK Coldstream

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room breakfast was average Food at bar was good They did not replace coffee service in room Would stay there again"

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This is a truly unique hotel, from the entrance with patio and dining seating into the charming lobby that made me feel like i had arrived in New Orleans! The very elegant indoor dining areas are backed with a magnificent bar that looked like it came out of a glamorous 1930's movie! And the food! We were only there for one night, wish it had been more, but both our dinner and brunch meals were absolutely delicious. The servers at both meals were excellent, and very cheerful and friendly. Actually, everyone on staff that we encountered there seemed to enjoy their job and interacting with the guests. Our corner room was quite large, clean, nicely furnished, and quiet. The Elwood has a very high satisfaction rating, which is well-deserved, and is very reasonably priced for such a lovely experience. I hope to be back in Lexington soon to stay there again. Even if you don't need a place to stay, I highly recommend enjoying a meal there!"

Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The entire hotel was clean. My room was very quiet. Bed was comfortable and the linens soft. Check-in staff was very courteous and helpful."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Lexington North

8/10 Good

"Your hosts are welcoming. Brian and Melissa are great hosts"

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."

Holiday Inn Express Lexington - Horse Park Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is clean, easily accessible from major highways, and in a safe area. The front desk staff was helpful, quick with check in, and polite. The week we stayed, we were in a number of different hotels and this was by far the best. Rooms are clean, supplied fully, and quiet. Excellent property."

Hyatt Regency Lexington

Clarion Pointe Richmond North near University
