Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lexington

8/10 Good

"While the staff was great, no one answers when you call on the phone. You have to go to the desk. Breakfast was ok - keeping in mind the price you pay, but still delicious. I love my room and beds were super comfortable! Very nice upgrades! By just looking at outside of the hotel, you wouldn’t imagine what’s inside! Oh and watch the elevator- it’s temperamental!"
