The staff was amazing and we loved it so much we ended up staying 2 nights. My husband’s mother is in a hospital a half a mile away and when we came back the second night, the lady at the front desk was so nice and said she prayed our loved one would get better. That means so much to us.

We traveled for a ball game we weren’t able to check in, but we were allowed to leave our vehicle parked in the parking lot, big thank you for that. Customer service, Angel is AMAZING! She lit the atmosphere up for game day and night she knew what she was doing. The only thing I have to say something negative about was the breakfast. It was a little too overdone, but that was okay IHOP was right down the road. Overall if we come back to Lex we will definitely be staying again.

The stay was good! The carpet in our room was pretty dirty and we have young kids so I was not at all pleased with that. The staff was great and the breakfast was good.

The room was clean and quiet at night. The breakfast was excellent and healthy. There were plenty of parking spaces and we were able to park near a side entrance by our room. The only disappointment was the pool was closed for maintenance. The location was close to UK hospital which was convenient for us.

We had a quick trip to Lexington to visit UK for our daughter. From check in to check out, our experience was enjoyable. The front desk staff young lady that checked us in was so personable and knowledgeable. She gave great recommemdation for things to do and dinner, as well as some tidbits about being an UK student. Overall great time and will definitely stay here again.
