GuestHouse Lexington

10/10 Excellent
"A comfortable space, clean, friendly staff, and great for the price. Hotel is smoking free, so you don’t have that wandering smoke smell you sometimes get in hotels that allow both. I was meeting people for breakfast at a different location, so I didn’t eat their breakfast, but the offerings were worthy."
