Top Lexington Hotel Reviews

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Our go to stay when we are in Lexington. Close to UK, great food and airport. Staff is fantastic and the hotel is boutique and just “cool”."

GuestHouse Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"When booking online, they always seem to use the best pictures,so sometimes you never know if the look is factual or not. I was so highly impressed with everything. The room was large and roomy. Two queen beds. Rest room off to the side. Came with a microwave and small fridge. This helped immensely. I was able to buy some food across the street at Walmart for the 5 days I was there. From check in to the staff,everyone was absolutely friendly. Pool was small, and indoors, perfect. Centrally located to all our adventures in KY and OH. Served standard breakfast fair, bagels, toast, muffins and options of cereal. They had sauage gravy and biscuits with eggs. Food was okay and edible. Im just particular about my food. My travels partners loved the breakfast. I was highly impressed with everything, room, hotel itself. Parking was easy. Hotels soaps and conditioners were large and plentiful. My only thought is the showers need something on the bottom of the tubs for slipperiness. And freezer needs thawed out occasionally. I would highly highly recommend Guesthouse at Lexington."
