Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Always our go to place in Lexington. We did have some very disruptive wild kids in the room across the hall causing their mama all kinds of hell but she got them quieted down by 9pm. Nothing on Elmwood except thin walls. That can happen anywhere."

175 LEX - Spacious Two Bedroom - Near Rupp Arena!

8/10 Good

"Room needed to be swept and mopped. There was and trash in the floors. The couch needs a good cleaning, one of the bar stools is broken. We found bottle caps and q-tips left in the room that were used. The couch was very uncomfortable for one of our guests. We did find a roll out cot that was helpful. The elevator was out of service, which wa beyond control. The location was great and the condo was very pretty, there was just some additional cleaning/ maintenance that needed to be done."

8/10 Good

"Close to the action of most things. You can easily walk. It was quiet and very clean. Small but worked perfect for what we needed."
