We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Lex. The location was great for our needs visiting the Kentucky Horse Park and a music festival downtown. The property was recently remodeled in a nice update and the staff was great. We also enjoyed eating at Barrel 53, the restaurant on the property. We will definitely be back again, when visiting Lexington!

This is a beautiful property that is newly renovated/currently under renovation. That being said, any work being done didn't disturb us at all. The rooms are gorgeous, comfortable, and very clean. My children and I had a blast at the pool and small arcade. The restaurant in the hotel makes delicious food - it was nice not to have to leave to eat. The staff in the hotel and restaurant were all exceptionally friendly. My only feedback for the hotel is that the breakfast could have more of a selection and should switch from powdered eggs to real, and the pool could be a touch warmer. However, these things will not deter us from going back.

Disliked: Staff & service
I had a horrible experience at this hotel. I felt monitored and watched my whole trip. Staff was very rude and caused unnecessary problems with me and my boyfriend which caused us to miss a lot of our day time during our vacation. Staff did not greet us, blatantly ignored us during our stay, and made us feel very unwelcome. Never have I had such a terrible experience at a hotel before and I honestly did not know how to handle it. We also were charged extra fees for no apparent reason after already paying for 3 nights. My stay would have been wonderful, as the views were nice and the hotel was well kept. However the staff ruined our weekend get away, as well as members of management. Would never go back to this hotel and would never recommend it to anyone. The conflicts I went through with this hotel are not worth it. I was accused of scamming, smoking in the property, and charged extra within an hour of checking in. Afterwards, it was very apparent that the staff was not welcoming to us, and was definitely racially motivated. Please choose a different hotel.
