10/10 Stay
Stayed here for the Alabama @ Kentucky basketball game in January. Perfect place to stay and within walking distance of Rupp Arena. Plenty of restaurants and things to do around the hotel. Parking is a little tight but it was mostly because there was so much snow and it blocked off some of the spots. But overall, a perfect stay. Very comfortable and quiet.

A great room with a snowy view
Staff were so helpful and friendly when I stayed here overnight- I am a nurse and needed to stay close to the hospital during a snow storm. Room service was delicious, the bed was so comfortable and the room was delightful. My new downtown Lexington favorite!

Promised wasn’t kept
We sat down to have dinner and after ordering drinks and the Bartender took our order- 20 min later the Manager for the Restaurant came to our table that the Kitchen closed early. So to make up for it they offered us 1 box of pizza! And free breakfast but I had already paid for Breakfast so they offer us points instead but still 10 days later still not received the points that was promised. In the morning Poor Taste of Breakfast and our utensils were dirty and my daughter grabbed an expired Joghurt from the breakfast bar😩

Not a good weekend
Girl at check in was rude. Very short. Don’t explain anything. Got to room, fridge doesn’t work, so hot you couldn’t breathe, sink broken, phone would not work. Vending machine on our floor did not work either. And parking was terrible!! Left a tag on the door to clean while we were gone on Saturday and came back that afternoon and nothing done. We call and the service comes and all she does is change trash cans and coffee. Slams the door and leaves.

Thanks, but no thanks.
Parking situation was awful! Too us a half hour to find a spot bc they were selling spots for a show nearby. Should have been reserved for guests. Lady that checked us in wasn’t pleasant at all. 2 or 3 of the 4 elevators were out during our stay on the 14th floor. No room in the bar/grill to accommodate guests and folks wanting a bite/drink after the show at Rupp and severely understaffed. Rooms were so warm that we could t breathe.
For the amount of money we paid for the night, I’d have expected much better accommodations.

I thought for the price of the holiday the beds would be way more comfortable it was like sleeping on a wood plank. The bathroom was small and the pressure was blah. Also again payings a lot of the room and then has to also pay for parking which sucks. The hotel restaurant was good but the price of that is pretty high as well.
