Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has ups and downs. While the rooms lacked closet space and dinnertime options were limited with slow service, starting the day with a good view was uplifting. The noisy surroundings due to the outdoor lounge and dumpster, alongside the early morning trash truck, were major drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and uniquely designed, bringing a sense of comfort with a lovely view from the fourth floor. Despite a minor inconvenience of running out of coffee one morning, the recent renovations made the room feel fresh and inviting. The service was a bit inconsistent but the staff were friendly and accommodating, offering extra blankets upon request. The location, right in the town center and overlooking the main street, was excellent for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was a mix of good choices with some disappointment. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were basic but elegant, with fancy walk-in showers – a really nice touch. The service was top-notch, always friendly and helpful. The location was outstanding, right in the historic district of Lexington. The dining experience left much to be desired, especially for my little kids who ended up hungry, but the overall experience was fantastic.
