Detailed Reviews
As others have said, we found it an excellent value and immaculately clean. If you require a pool, spa, turndown service, etc., this isn't the place for you. But if you're seeking a clean, comfortable room, I recommend it!

This place has horrible customer service and horrible experience. I highly advise e do not stay here. Many other in expensive places that are freindlier. Nothing on their website says no dogs allowed. Then get to the hotel and they say no dogs allowed and no refunds allowed.
I asked for a refund because I didn’t know. They kept all the money and were highly rude. It’s 95 degrees outside and had to go elsewhere. These people hate animals

We actually love pets very much, just don't allow them in our rooms per our clearly stated hotel policy. Many guests are allergic, so we don't allow them after years of customer feedback. It clearly says No Pets Allowed on our website along with every other website that we are bookable on. We also have large signs at the front desk that reiterate the no pets allowed policy. It has been that way for over 15 years now. We hope that you were able to quickly find a room at one of the several pet friendly hotels in the area.

Stayed here on business, and had a excellent stay. Comfortable, in a pretty good location, and a Starbucks in front of it. Of course it isn't top of the line, but the accommodations are very nice. The staff is very helpful. The parking service is free. I was pleasantly surprised by the fast internet. Its much faster than most higher end hotels we've Stayed in. Overall my husband and I had a good stay.

Thanks so much for staying with us, and for the review. We know how important WiFi is and make sure it is super fast and always works great for our guests. We started replacing our mattresses with Tempurpedic memory foam sets, but found that some guests preferred the traditional style coil mattress, so we decided to have a mix of both. Your business is appreciated!

The service was poorly. They only cleaned rooms once a week and I had to go to the front desk for fresh towels. The rooms smelled like smoke in the non smoking rooms. Very terrible stay and will never stay again. Front desk manager was poor

Once you checked out, you forfeited your deposit for heavily smoking in the room - ashes were left everywhere during your stay. That could attribute for the smoking scent you smelled. As explained at check-in, the discounted weekly rate includes housekeeping once a week. Nightly rates include daily housekeeping. Fresh towels and sheets are always available upon request. We are disappointed at the significant damage done to our non-smoking room.

Drove 6 miles out of my way to stay here based on Trip Advisor comments/ratings/price. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable--with a nice mattress. The coffee and donuts in the morning was a nice unexpected touch. The general manager even took the time to communicate with me following my stay. Not a top of the line motel, but we did not pay anywhere near a top of the line price. Will definitely stay there again when traveling from the east coast to the midwest.

This hotel may have an extended stay fee structure (we only stayed one night) but it has no extended stay amenities. No cooktop, cupboards with nothing in them. The king sized bed filled the room. The property has chipped paint but the shower surround seemed new. There are other extended stay hotels in Lexington for nearly the same price if you wish to cook. This is just a modest hotel room with a refrigerator and a microwave.

The combination of our rates and amenities classify us as an extended stay. We offer every extended-stay amenity except for a stove, and our rates are lower to reflect that.

Not much.
I’ll list the positives first, the staff was friendly, there was a lot of parking and the heat worked well. For those three reasons I rated my stay 2 out of 5.
THE ROOM
When I entered the room, I was immediately hit with a “fresh” scent. Good right? Unfortunately after 5 minutes and your nose adjusts to the smell, you realize what that “fresh” scent is masking, in a word “funk”. I never found out where it was emanating from, so I assumed everywhere... Although clean seeming, the room seemed beat up, like it had many, many miles.
THE BATHROOM
The toilet had a “stain” at the bottom of the bowl. I’m not sure what that “stain” was and I’ll refrain from posting the picture, but I did take one. It was not the most pleasant thing to look at. The bathroom issues didn’t end there, the shower didn’t fully work. One third of the water was coming out of the shower head and two thirds of the water came out of the bath spout. Because there was barely any water going through the shower head, I had to stand directly under it. Not ideal.
THE BED
When I peeled back the floral comforter, I saw 6 long hairs on the two pillows as well as the sheets underneath. Two thoughts came into my head: 1) the hairs were stuck on the floral comforter or 2) they didn’t change the pillowcases/sheets. Either way, not good.
I was also disappointed because I had heightened expectations due to the gushing reviews left by previous guests. I’m not sure why this place has so many good reviews. That was the deciding factor for me to book the room.
I guess you get what you pay for, but with that said, as a guest, what should we expect? After all, I did pay my hard earned money...

Hi there. The room you stayed in was just remodeled with new furniture, carpet and refinished walls. We fixed the tub spout as soon as we saw your note - any issues brought to our attention are corrected asap. The toilet had a small scar in it from a plumbing tool (we think stains from other ... means ... are gross, too). All linens are changed after every guest, no matter what - I apologize that the hairs weren't caught by laundry staff and that you were unhappy with your stay.

Bluegrass Extended Stay was Clean, comfortable and conveniently located. The Full-week price was competitive with a budget motel, but included a full-sized refrigerator and microwave. Free coffee and donuts were provided each morning, but I think you had to be there at sunrise to catch the donuts.
All in all, our basic needs were met and this was a nice "Home away from Home"

Hello, we do offer smoking rooms. Please call for availability as they usually sell out, so we do not often have them open online. Thanks.
