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!

Great location but the hotel itself was a huge disappointment. It is very shabby with stained carpets, linens and chipped furniture. Lack of outlets near the bed for cpap machine and other device chargers was a challenge. Uncomfortable shower situation with just a small glass wall leaving you cold. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

Great location right in the heart of historic district with walkable restaurants and shops. Hotel a bit dated and no frills but bed and room comfortable, sheets and towels fine. Photos make it look better than it was but I would come back for the location and ease. Not great for small kids and walls not sound proof.

Decent
The room was clean but be prepared to be awaken each early morning with the trash truck emptying the dumpsters outside. The outlets are not situated by the bed so bring an extension cord to charge your phone. There is no mini fridge or microwave in the room. The grab and go breakfast is just that so we went down the street for breakfast elsewhere.

This is the former Robert E Lee hotel, which is what it still says above the door, making it a bit hard to find. The staff is friendly and the lobby is pretty. The rooms are a bit worse for wear — brown carpet on the floor and felt a bit in need to renovation. But the bathroom was redone very nicely and the room was clean. Very convenient to W&L and all the shops downtown.

Convenient to downtown Lexington
Older hotel that recently went an ownership change. Kind of pricey for what one got- a room with a bed and bathroom but it is in a college town over a weekend. Convenient to everything in Lexington. Nice bar and restaurant that closed kind of early. My only complaint is there was maybe 1-2 power outlets in the room, with none near the night stand to charge a phone. Hope they can remedy that with the renovations.
