The hotel is unique and charming. I didn’t like how loud it was. I could hear cars all night. Also in order to use the treadmill I had to create an account with the software, which is cumbersome and unnecessary

21c wanted an extra $50 to check in before 4pm. The room was tiny. About 150 square feet. You had to walk around the door and into the shower to turn on the water. There was no way to turn on the shower without getting doused by cold water. No coffee available until 8am. Very disappointing. My wife stayed here 2 months ago and had great experience

Thanks Gregg. Since check in is slated at 4pm, it is not always easy to accommodate, especially since your rate is only slated starting at 4pm. The extra a mount is fair, to ensure that your needs are met above anyone else who is coming to try and check in early. As for the shower, we will look into that as im sure the design is the same as the other rooms. Thanks again for sharing your feedback, and please let us know if you have another questions or concerns. Best, Sarah and Lex Team

Had an amazing experience at 21c! The staff from valets, to front desk, to restaurant and bar staff were extremely friendly and professional. In fact, we're now friends with two of the bartenders - that's an amazing level of service! We had an issue with something in our room and the front desk supervisor took care of it immediately. The room was in need of some refurbishment, but was clean and comfortable. Small things, not anything major, just normal wear and tear. Highly recommend 21c and will book with them again when we're in Lexington.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The room was spacious and well appointed. The staff was amazing, they were all very friendly and helpful. The adjoining Lockbox restaurant is super tasty and has great bartenders! The area has great restaurants and bars all within a few blocks. Public parking is literally less than a block away and its half price of the valet.

The restaurant at the property, Lockbox, has great brunch food. Possibly the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. The front desk staff at check in and the valet at check out were lovely, as were most of my staff we encountered. The rooms are dated, somewhat unclean, and have received the "landlord's special" in many of the details. The gallery seemed empty, and may have been in transition. We've stayed at the 21C in Louisville and I'm Cincinnati- it's all about the details.

Really cool, historic, yet updated hotel. That is.. if you can find it. You have to go by what the picture looks like of the outside to find it because theres no signage. We had to call to see where we were and you also have to park across a busy street and pay to park. There's signs. On the building that advertise the lockbox, and also it says its a bank..which it used to be. The restaurant is VERY limited in its selections. But overall cool, unique place to stay.

No Parking, circled the block 3 times (actually a 5 block radius due to one way streets) No Valet, same 2 cars in the Valet all 3 times. Found a public parking and walked 3 blocks with our luggage. Rooms - Bed and Pillows were not comfortable. The room is so small that when the heat kicks on its roast you.

The hotel itself was nice. I just didn’t feel that guest services was very knowledgeable or accommodating. Couldn’t ever get the restaurant to answer to order food. The gentleman working valet was very kind and helpful. I was also charged for things from the mini fridge that were not removed. Overall … it was average.

Thank you Sheressa for your review. I am glad you enjoyed most of your stay, however I will follow up with our teams on the issues you experienced. I have triple checked your bill and it looks like it has been refunded the minibar items you did not take. The fridge is pressure sensitive, so any movement of items will charge to your bill.Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and we hope to host you in the future. Best, Sarah and Lex Team
