Top Richmond Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lexington/UK Coldstream

10/10 Excellent

"Happy hour welcome with free drinks, nice bar area, and made-to-order omelets for breakfast."

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful motel layout (French Quarter themed) throughout. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean, and very spacious. Very comfortable beds, large showers. There are only 2 elevators for the whole motel, and they are located adjacent to the lobby."

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay at this remodeled, non chain hotel, conveniently located and with free parking. Beds and lines are of a high quality, large room, wide selection of foods for breakfast (not included in the room price), very friendly personnel. Keep in mind that AC unit is rather loud. A writing desk in the room would be nice."

Holiday Inn Express Lexington - Horse Park Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was exceptionally clean. The staff at the front desk, especially the guy who checked us in was very helpful and kind. We didn’t have the breakfast because we had to leave before breakfast started but we were made aware of the timeframe if we were able to eat. The parking was accessible and not too far of a walk if you had to park further away from the main door. Overall, our stay was great and we would stay again if we’re in the area and need a hotel!"
