Very much enjoyed our stay. The room was great and clean. The bar/restaurant service was excellent and the food was very good. Look forward to our next stay.
The rooftop bar was amazing. Was there on a Wednesday with great happy hour specials. The room was wonderful; however, it was a little small. The location was great and convenient, and the hotel shuttle was very helpful for transportation to nearby dinner reservations.
Delaney at checkin was excellent- great recommendation for our trip shared. Valet team were A+ accommodating our frequent in and outs efficiently and with friendly conversation. Thank you! - Danielle
We had a fantastic stay at the Manchester. The hotel is beautiful - the lobby had a nice energy and the rooftop bar was gorgeous. Our waiter was particularly great - very helpful and full of great recommendations for Lexington. The rooms were decorated thoughtfully and were very clean/comfortable. Best part - walking distance to the distillery area and free shuttle service at night to the city or anywhere else you want to go (we loved our driver Sam). We will definitely stay again - highly recommend!
Such a great hotel experience. The staff - from desk host to valet guys - were all so friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar were both so excellent. The room and bed made us feel like we were staying at home.
This property is as advertised, a cool historic older B&B that’s got lots of character and is centrally located. The breakfast is solid and the Inn Keeper is a really nice guy who personalizes the experience. Their outdoor patio is very nice.
An almost perfect hotel! Incredible food, drinks, decor, staff etc. The only downside was quite possibly the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in which is a pretty big deal for me as I’m spending most of the time at the hotel sleeping.
The king bed, was stiff as a board but also horribly misshapen/worn with sunken areas. Back pain sufferers beware!
We had a very nice stay at the Manchester! The personal touches in the room added that special element. The bed was amazingly comfortable. We will definitely go back!
