At check in and check-out they were very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. There were enough towels for all 4 of us and a great shower.

Love Lexington

Beautiful historic city. Really enjoyed our stay. Great location. Easy walk to every thing downtown with many restaurants nearby. Recommend the carriage rides. Hotel was fabulous.
Vicky, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice boutique hotel

Very cute boutique hotel. Small parking behind the hotel so you do have to walk around front, nice staff in the lobby. They offer a grab and go breakfast. Only thing is the outlets in our room at least were not near the bed to plug phones in we had them across the room. But we would stay again, close to shopping and nice restaurants.

Downtown Lexington, Va

10/10 Exceptional

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!

My husband and I stopped here overnight on our way south and were pleasantly surprised how nice this hotel is. The restaurant was delicious and priced very reasonably. Nice sojourn.

8/10 Very good

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.

Pleasant stay

Hotel stay was comfortable. Staff was pleasant. Breakfast was subpar. There was no coffee left in the container, and no one was available to refill it. There was no fruit left, and no protein.

Jarmy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel, extremely clean, great staff. The continental breakfast left a little to be desired, but it got us started for our morning. Super convenient to W&L and VMI. We were in town for a wedding and were able to walk to all locations from the hotel. Would absolutely stay here again!
Mary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It WAS a neat old hotel

The hotel was nice and the front desk staff was pleasant (although a little jarring in her appearance). I was very disappointed that the new ownership has erased the Robert E. Lee name from the façade. The room was okay but the bed was rather hard, as were the pillows. The noise from the street wasn’t bad after midnight but at 5am the dumpster truck arrived in the alley and the noise from that interrupted my sleep (to be expected, I guess, when you stay in town). The included breakfast was, shall we say, minimal but not bad overall. I guess it was just a subpar experience for the price, but it is centrally located so the good thing is there’s lots else to do within walking distance of the hotel. Don’t miss Stonewall Jackson’s grave a few blocks away, as well as Robert E. Lee’s memorial at Washington & Lee chapel. Lexington is definitely a town suffering from hanging onto its roots.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Super quaint hotel in Lexington. Comfortable beds, clean room, modern bathrooms.
