Hampton Inn Lexington-Historic District

Hampton Inn Lexington-Historic District

10/10 Excellent
"This Hampton Inn is extraordinary...much like the Hampton Inn in Corolla, NC...because they are different. This Hampton Inn has beautiful historic grounds, is located within walking distance of downtown Lexington and W&L. The swimming pool is great. We had the opportunity to see a beautiful rainbow over the mountain view from the rear of the hotel. Loved this place. "
