Terrific stay at The Gin Hotel! Located in Lexington, VA, the hotel is close to both Washington & Lee and the Virginia Military Institute. The property is very charming with a lot of character. Staff was very welcoming, engaging and helpful. The room was clean and well tended. They offer a free continental breakfast, which is very basic, but was fine for our needs as we are not big breakfast eaters. The property is centrally located in the town and well situated for a walk about this historic town. I was particularly appreciative of the free parking, which was located directly behind the hotel and very convenient. All in all a brief, but great stay at The Gin!

Nice boutique hotel

Very cute boutique hotel. Small parking behind the hotel so you do have to walk around front, nice staff in the lobby. They offer a grab and go breakfast. Only thing is the outlets in our room at least were not near the bed to plug phones in we had them across the room. But we would stay again, close to shopping and nice restaurants.

Horrible sewer smell so strong in lobby and restaurant floor that it literally gagged me. No outlets near the bed, only one light switch so all lights are either on or off, not very clean, dead bugs behind the bed…I could go on and on…but the total deal breaker is the disgusting sewer smell. I think this place needs to be condemned. I cant believe the serve food in this place.

It WAS a neat old hotel

The hotel was nice and the front desk staff was pleasant (although a little jarring in her appearance). I was very disappointed that the new ownership has erased the Robert E. Lee name from the façade. The room was okay but the bed was rather hard, as were the pillows. The noise from the street wasn’t bad after midnight but at 5am the dumpster truck arrived in the alley and the noise from that interrupted my sleep (to be expected, I guess, when you stay in town). The included breakfast was, shall we say, minimal but not bad overall. I guess it was just a subpar experience for the price, but it is centrally located so the good thing is there’s lots else to do within walking distance of the hotel. Don’t miss Stonewall Jackson’s grave a few blocks away, as well as Robert E. Lee’s memorial at Washington & Lee chapel. Lexington is definitely a town suffering from hanging onto its roots.

Nice hotel but the Orbiz photos are wrong. Front of the hotel no longer has the words Robert E Lee painted on the front. The reason it was booked. Without the words it’s a regular old/charming hotel but missing it’s heritage.

It’s a no from me, Dawg!

Lacking a lot of things that would be needed for a good stay. No fridge, microwave, iron or ironing board. The bed was hard and not comfortable. The electrical outlets were loose and wouldn’t hold plugs. There was dust standing on the baseboards. There was no room service even though it was advertised. The one positive was the staff, they were very pleasant. It was way overpriced for the town and in comparison to others in the town.
