This was a super nice and clean hotel. I had a concert to go to at the Kroger field and this was a convenient place to stay. I paid for a king size bed and was surprised to see my room had two queen size beds. It was never communicated to me that they oversold their king-size bed rooms.

Front Desk Rodney was wonderful to work with and help us. We had WiFi issues during our 5 day stay for the NCAAM March Madness tournament at RUPP Arena. He and other staff were very understanding and helpful trying to troubleshoot the problem.

Perfect

Wonderful place to stay. It was so comfortable and clean. Although it was by a busy street and hospital the hotel was surprisingly very quiet. I would recommend to anyone needing to stay in Lexington and will definitely return if I ever need accommodations in the future.
