Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The worst front desk staff ever. The girls were on their phones the whole time. We Told them the restrooms did not have toilet paper and they ignored us. All of the garbage cans were overflowing in bathroom and by front desk. The entrance was dirty and trash and hair balls were floating around the floor. We paid $900 a night for a filthy hotel. We told them about the hair balls in the front lobby and they ignored us. I had to ask for my breakfast vouchers 4 times and the front desk lady said I looked for you but my contacts must have dried out. The Vouchers should have been given to us at check in. We had to get our own silverware for breakfast. We got our food but had no silverware. The coffee maker was broken in our room and the bed was hard. There was No TV to Watch the UK game at the bar. The Bar shut down at 10:30 on Saturday Game Night and a ton of people still wanted to get a drink. This is just a shame that this hotel has gone so downhill. Maybe they have new management. The 21c used to be know for being a super nice hotel. Now it is dirty hotel with bad service. What a shame.

The bathroom was honestly pretty bad - not clean. Hair in corners on the floor and dirty grout lines everywhere. The toilet never wanted to flush. I expected more for the >$500/night price point in Lexington KY. The room itself was a little dirty as well. The check in staff member was unable to provide any recommendations for us dining/drinks within reasonable walking distance. I will not recommend or stay here again.

Just ok

We have stayed at another 21C Museum Hotel and had a wonderful experience, but this one was just ok. Pros: Good service at check in and the gallery was excellent. Cons: room was freezing, heat kicked on if you tried to turn the air up from 68. When we pulled up so my husband could drop me off, I let the valet attendant know we would be self parking and he just rudely walked off. The bathroom had mildew and frayed towels. Beds and pillows were so uncomfortable. Not their fault, but downtown LEX is crazy loud at night. It didn’t quiet down until 3 am. We won’t make that mistake again.
