Top Lexington Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Lexington

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed comfortable for us. My only vritique is that the shower drain stopper had a broken pull knob that made it doffocult to.keep the drain fully open. Of coure the ceramic tiled shower was a real plus as was the studio condiguration of the room."

Holiday Inn Express Lexington - Horse Park Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"The TV system is poor there is no TV guide just a channel guide. Also my safe did not work. They asked on-line after day 1 if there were any issues, I mentioned the above and then no response, so why ask? There breakfast buffet was good day 1 but the last two days both protein options were pork only."
