If you have stayed at an Embassy Suites they look pretty much the same: the rooms are identical anywhere you go. It has more of an apartment feel than a typical hotel room. You get a kitchen, large living room and comfy bedroom with a cozy bed and a desk to work at. I paid a reduced price but in anycase I wouldnt call this hotel cheap. If you like the idea of a suite then it may be worth the extra money. Rooms are super quiet and privacy is assured.

The location is a bit out of the way so if you don't rent a car very few things are in walking distance. People stay here mostly because they are at a conference. There is a Denny's across the street. A bus stops in front of the hotel surprisingly frequently and it only costs a dollar. You can take a cab downtown for a reasonable rate (about 15 dollars) and there is plenty of action with college bars and a lively friendly atmosphere. Try SkyBar for a dance club atmosphere on the top floor of a downtown tower. There are also plenty of other bars around that area and cover is cheap 0-10 dollars.

Breakfast was good and you could ask for anything you liked. The chef was very friendly and the omelettes were great.

The staff of the hotel was generally nice and accommodating except one totally incompetent male who had no business working there. He knew nothing, did not even bother trying to help and was annoyed that you expected him to provide any kind of assistance. It’s rare to find such shocking incompetence in North American at a hotel of this level. This is the only reason I cannot give the property 5 stars.

If you want to do some tours I strongly suggest the Horse Museum. It is minutes away by car or you can take a cab like I did through the spectacular area. I found the museum even better than the horse farm tours since you get to see famous horses, shows and gorgeous scenery. The museum is really a farm. If you want to do a horse farm tour as well, go with Heritage tours. They get a high rating on this site and I was not disappointed. Most of the tours will pick you up at the hotel.

Typically we stay at the Hilton when in Lexington, but they were full so decided to stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and accomodating and i really liked thewater fountains in the atrium.

Food in the resturant was tastey, but arrived cold both nights ... maybe they need better timing and communication between the kitchen and servers.

Breakfast is included ... a standard buffet but you can also get a cooked to order breakfast omlet or eggs ... very tastey. I plan to make this my destination hotel when in Lexington.

Well-kept hotel. Nice amenities. Breakfast was good. Coffee was good (important for me). One concern that I had was the walls could have been a bit more sound proof. A door slamming neighbor caused whole room to shake. Staff was very helpful and friendly

I reserved a handicap accessible room in JULY for an October reservation. Upon arrival I was told that they did not have an accessible room. The desk manager apologized and said "he'd knock a few bucks off". That wasn't much consolation for the handicapped member of our group.

After our stay I did not get Hilton Honors points. I called the Hilton Honors line to get credit for the stay and I was told that since I received compensation for my room, I guess that was when he "knocked a few bucks off", I would not get points. I eventually did get the points and I was told that the general manager of the site would contact me within 3 business days to discuss my experience. It's been over a week now with no call.

The fact that this location is dismissive over reservations, particularly handicap access rooms, tries to screw you on points when they try to "knock a few bucks off" and to cap it off has an unresponsive general manager leads me to believe there are far too many better choices in Lexington. You do not get the value for the premium they charge. As someone that spends almost 100 nights a year on the road I would strongly recommend staying elsewhere.

Another aside, the rooms need an update as the carpet is quite old and there was mold in our shower. See posted pictures of mold.
