Room clean, staff very friendly, great breakfast and breakfast selection. We actually stayed 3 nights because of the snowstorm and would definitely stay here again. Very nice.
Staff was so nice! Room was large which helped with 2 toddlers and spotless! The continental breakfast was wonderful and we had the pool to ourselves! Thank you for a GREAT stay!
I have stayed here a few times. I also stay at other hotels in other cities and this location is, by far, the best!!
The staff is always pleasant, the condition and cleanliness of all the spaces is always 5 stars and even the food is better than other Holiday Inn Express locations.
I highly recommend this location.
Great area of Lexington. Dining options close to hotel and only a 10 minute drive to downtown. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great!! Room was clean and comfortable!
The people at the front desk were very nice and helpful! Comfortable clean room with shower supplies provided, snacks and drinks in lobby, great breakfast included and several restaurants nearby !
