We arrived very late and the staff was friendly and helpful. Property was clean and quiet. Loved the blackout curtains. Did not make it to breakfast but it was a nice option.

Great hotel

Excellent breakfast especially the cinnamon rolls. Very clean facility

We stayed here in March of 2022. Decided to return for another event in Lexington. This time there were hidden charges. And it was very noisy, you can hear everything from the hallway.

Was a wonderful clean experience. Staff was very kind and helpful. Great free breakfast as well.

good clean hotel. walkable to several places to eat. would stay here again.

Staff was excellent. Great Room. Do need to tell you if you stay more than one night and want your room cleaned each day, you have to notify Housekeeping daily.

VERY clean room, lobby, and public areas. However it was extremely noisy overnight...runnning / stomping in the halls and screaming. While I realize it was a Saturday night, there was a sign in the lobby staring the “quiet hours” and that there was a “1 strike policy”. Not sure if this was because they have dealt with noise issues before. Also the front desk person that checked me in was efficient but not particularly friendly.

it was just a nice location, easy access off the highway, nice staff, clean room

Like Everything but couldn't experience the full treatment because covid 19.

Nice happy staff. Nice big room. Great comfy bed.

Great location and great over all. Will stay there again.

Only concern was lack of towels in both pool area and bath.

Breakfast was very good! Staff was very friendly. Beds comfy

Very clean and staff were friendly! Several eating places in walking distance.
