AP Roots has a small, but good menu. They try to incorporate locally grown produce and meats into as much of their menu as possible and have reasonable prices. They're on Romany Rd and a bit outside the main part of the city, but an easy drive from this location.

When we arrived there was only a smoking room available and my husband is very allergic/bothered by cigarette smoke. They ... brought in a ionizer to help remove the smell. The staff has very helpful in trying to accomadate our needs. We were able to move to a non smoking room the following night.

This was my first trip to Lexington and this Hotel. I had no idea what to expect. It was the cleanest Hotel I have ever ... stayed in. All of the staff members were Friendly and very helpful. I felt very safe and the parking lot has excellent lighting. The room was spotless and very well kept. The maids were very nice to talk to and respectful. The front desk staff were perfect as well. The room has everything you need to order food delivered to your room as well as area guides. I loved staying here and look forward to next year.

convenient to the UK

Leslie Jul 12, 2007

Would recommend to a friend!

I have nothing bad to say about the people who greeted us at the front desk. Everyone was very accommodating, but I was ... surprised and a little disappointed with their housekeeping. Although our beds were made and our wet/used towels were replaced daily, nothing more was done. We stayed for 3 nights... our sheets were never changed, our room was never vacuumed and nothing was replenished. I had to call downstairs and ask for a box of Kleenex because the dispenser was empty on the first day. I was told to come down and get it myself. We were too exhausted and already in our pajamas, so we just went to sleep.. regarding the cups: We were supplied with and used the 2 plastic disposable cups... but Drat the Luck... know, I forgot to pack my dishwashing liquid. On the bright side, the complimentary breakfast was decent... juice, coffee, cereal, excellent cinnamon buns, bread..etc.
