Top Keeneland Racing Course Hotel Reviews

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot, nice rooms. Lovely breakfast spot. Be sure to enjoy the patio."

Hampton Inn Lexington South-Keeneland/Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The receptionist at the desk in the evening was wonderful - engaging, helpful, positive. We did find a dirty toilet when we arrived the was never a concern to housekeeping. Not acceptable"

Residence Inn Lexington Keeneland/Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a wonderful location. The staff and hospitality staff were very accommodating. However, being charged for parking and charging a credit card for the hotel charges seemed extensive. It took too many times to get the hot water to come on. We had to stop and start numerous times. As for the breakfast selections would recommend purchasing waffle machines for guests to use, some of the selections for breakfast did not seems to be enjoyed."

PRIVATE heated pool & hot tub, dogs ok, near Keeneland

10/10 Excellent

"The house was extremely clean, and the kitchen was outfitted beautifully from the hardware to the cookware, with a very generous offering of spices and condiments to make cooking away from home seamless and easy. (Not often the case in rentals!). Ample seating indoors, and an exceptionally appointed back garden. There were toys and lounging items in equal supply. We are a multi-generational group and the property was very well suited for all and, as long as children can navigate stairs freely, the entire property allows for a lot of safe independence!Wayne was exceedingly responsive and caring and made it all easy for us. Proximity to the freeway is a thing to be aware of, but there are sound machines in the bedrooms for sleeping.Beautiful stay. Thank you very much!"

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot. Very close to the airport and the track if you’re planning a Keeneland trip. Less than 5 minutes to both. We booked for a guys golf/horse weekend. 20 minutes to Woodford Reserve and less than 10 minutes to downtown. Host was prompt, helpful, and informative. Loved the house and the setup. Highly recommend!"
