Staybridge Suites Lexington
4.4/5102 Reviews
The location is good with close proximity to the highway, food, & a ”Starbucks”. The hotel is clean with the typical amenities. The staff is friendly and the price was reasonable. The room was a good size with a small but well-stocked kitchen. The bed was fairly comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was much better than in most hotels. There is a FREE breakfast. We were assigned room 214 which was next to the elevators. We asked to be moved due to the very loud noise from the elevators when in operation but the hotel was full. If you are a light sleeper, stay away from rooms 212, 213, 214, & 215 and their equivalent rooms on other floors. Overall, nice hotel.
Elwood Hotel & Suites
4.5/5100 Reviews
We stayed here for three days this week. The location is really hard to get to as you have to drive thru a fancy hotel's parking lot to get down to it. It is very dirty looking from the outside. When I entered I asked to see the room prior to checking in and I was told they had taken out the bushes and the shutters to start painting outside. When I inspected the room, it was one of the newer remodeled rooms but you could still tell it was old as there were still holes in the walls where paint had chipped and they just pained over the top of it. The lighting in the parking lot was very minimal so not a place I wanted to be after dark. They were big rooms. The TVs were smaller and the beds were just OK, since it was a newer room the mattresses were quite firm. The shower worked great and we didn't see any bugs while we were there. The breakfast was the worst and we ended up skipping the breakfast as there was no waffle maker and the coffee I had tasted like dirt. There is a Dunkin Donout two blocks down!!! Once when going down to the lobby, the elevator stopped on third floor and the workers doing the remodeling had beer in their hands and a case of beer. The ice machine was broken. They did clean the room pretty well each day but due to the condition of the rest of the hotel and the breakfast I would not recommend it and I won't stay there again.
Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lexington
3/5103 Reviews
Husband and I road our motorcycle to this location today to stay for a night on our way to another destination. We were given a room that looked NOTHING like the photos seen on google, trip advisor, etc. The hallways reeked of cigarette smoke and ****- which happens at hotels. But once we entered the room, the smell was worse. Bedding had cigarette burns on it, bathrooms were dirty, looked behind the bed and saw at least an inch of dust and it looked sticky- I’m assuming from the nicotine having been used in the room from many smoking visitors. Everything just looked so dirty. The room we were given had a door leading to the parking lot, which was bent and looked like it had been broken into. We looked inside the air conditioning unit and it was black, again, probably from the cigarette usage. All that being said, the staff was polite and understood our grievance and gave us our refund- no questions asked, no hoops to jump through. She did offer another room but we politely declined. She’s the only reason we are giving a 1 “star”.
SpringHill Suites Lexington Near the University of Kentucky
4.4/5104 Reviews
The service is really great here as well as the cleanliness. The room is really spacious, it does not feel cramp like other motels/ hotels I have been to. Another thing I liked about this place is that on the third floor there is a guest laundry room where you go use the machines for a certain amount of quarters and you have to bring your own detergent. Because of COVID-19 they serve breakfast in paper bags which are available in between 6 - 9AM, said breakfast is a banana, bottle of water, and a NutriGrain bar. Overall, the stay here in Springhill Suties was really great everyone was frinedly and efficient, next time I comeback to Lexington I will for definitely book at this place again.
Red Roof Inn Lexington
3.4/5100 Reviews
This is a clean pet friendly hotel close to the highway. Our room was spacious and very clean. The staff we met, Joyce and Kim were so friendly and sweet. They truly made you feel welcome and at home. We will definitely stay there again if we pass through Lexington. Thank you everyone for giving us such a nice experience.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lexington Dtwn Area-Keeneland
4.5/5101 Reviews
This is a very nice hotel. We use it a lot when traveling to Ohio. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. The bathrooms are a bit tired with tubs instead of the newer step-in showers and the toilets are very low to the ground. The front desk staff are always polite and very helpful. We ask for specifics when staying, and they are always so accommodating.
