“Best place to stay in lexington”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

We usually come to Lexington every two months since our family lives here. I think this is the best place to stay. The staff are great especially Will the manager helps you with everything and Sanjay helped us find some more restaurants this trip. If you ever get a chance to stay here, go to the Mexican restaurant that's with in walking distance you wont regret it. The yogurt place is also the best.

Room Tip: ask for the corner rooms or ask them if they can upgrade you for a suite.

“Stay Away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

We made a reservation at this hotel based on the reviews from this website. We had to travel through a not-so-safe part of town to reach the hotel. It is built in a depressed area in the middle of a fast food court. The front desk staff was rude and ineffective, so all things considered we forfeited our deposit and stayed at the Hilton downtown. The Hilton was fabulous and very comparably priced. Stay away from this hotel.

I would like to start off by saying we apologize for any inconvenience that we caused you during your trip to Lexington. We promise, it was not our goal to make you have a bad experience. What we saw in our system it looked like the reservation was made ether online or through the 1800 number and not directly with the front desk staff for the night before and no one had called to cancel or move the reservation. By saying that it is in our policy that we charge a no show fee. When we talked, I mentioned to my front desk staff and yourself that we could lower your rate down by 30 dollars to start out with for your current reservation. I mentioned that I would talk to my GM to see what we could do about the night before on the charge, as my front desk agent did not have authorization to handle the issue. Also I stated that either my GM or I would have to be there for password purposes. After we got off the phone with you and I talked to my GM I called back to tell you we could take care of the bill and make it complimentary from the day before, but to my understanding you never checked in at all with us and you had left to go stay at another hotel. I am sorry that you felt like we did not handle your situation promptly enough and as accurately as you would have liked. There is always room for us to grow and get better at making sure our customers are number 1. We are an award winning hotel for 3 years running and we pride ourselves on our customer satisfaction as you can see from the other reviews. I wish you would have gotten to stay with us so that you could experience our southern hospitality. We are in a newly built area right outside of downtown Lexington. We have everything from 2-3 sit down restaurants such as Applebee’s all the way to 2-3 more upper scale fast food restaurants such as Zaxbys. We are very conveniently located next to a pharmacy, grocery store, and gas stations. The entire development here is 5 years old and beautiful. We hope that you would be willing to give us a second chance and stay with us. Please call me next time you are in Lexington and I will be happy to take care of you on a great rate and hopefully redeem ourselves with you. We at the Holiday Inn Express Lexington NE want to wish you the best on your upcoming travels and hope to see you in the future.

“Great value- convenient and nice!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

I stayed here for one night while in town for a job interview. I was very impressed with my room and the hotel. The room was updated, clean, and cozy. The bathroom has an extra long vanity for getting ready. The hotel is literally within walking distance to a shopping center with a variety of restaurants (Sit-down Chinese, sit-down Mexican, Firehouse Subs, yogurt place) as well as a nail place, gym, and Walgreens. The breakfast included eggs, waffles, sausage, biscuits, oatmeal, etc.- not just cold cereal and pastries. Definitely worth the stay and appropriate for family and or business travelers. Free Wifi with easy connection.

“Wedding Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

We used this Holiday Inn Express as the host hotel for our son’s wedding, the accommodations were excellent. We used over 20 rooms and the entire staff was absolutely superb. In planning the arrival and room placement, they were very patient and extremely helpful. Will and Caroline were especially helpful in the planning. The time spent at Holiday Inn Express was perfect. We were helped in every way possible, every plan we put together was perfectly executed by the staff even with the last second changes we needed to make. The front desk staff, including Mike and Jon, welcomed us and our guests and were very attentive to questions and additional requests. The staff in the breakfast area was also extremely helpful as we had lots of children – they opened a side room so we could sit together during breakfast. On Friday night we used two of their meeting rooms to host a dinner for wedding guests. Caroline and Will had the room set up for us and offered us additional help during the day of the reception. The rooms were very nice; the cleaning staff were very accommodating and were interested in our comfort. Everyone in our party complimented us on the hotel choice even though my son and his wife did the scouting and were the people responsible for choosing this Holiday Inn Express. We would whole heartedly recommend this hotel for any event, big or small, they will make you feel like you are their number one priority.
