This hotel was great! The location is right in the center of the downtown area. They also use phenomenal products in their showers. The body wash, shampoo and conditioner was some of the best I have ever used in a hotel. The valet service was great as well as the front desk staff! 10/10 would recommend to anyone heading to Lexington.

Disliked: Amenities
The hand soap and body wash in my bathroom were empty. There were two large stains on the carpets. The floors in the hallway were rather dirty and need replaced. The ceiling tiles in the hallway were gone. The exposed area was radiating a lot of heat and made the hallway rather hot. The restaurant was closed for renovations. Valet parking was wonderful. The front desk staff was wonderful. The room was clean.

The rooms are nice. Location is great! We have stayed at many different hotels in Lexington. This one is one of my favorites. It’s quiet at night (I think Lexington can be a little loud with cars at night) but these rooms are very quiet. The art exhibit is great bonus and fun to explore. Would highly recommend
