Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small but very quiet, although they didn't match the Booking description and caused some inconvenience. The service was a bit of a hit and miss, with some staff being very helpful and accommodating while others were unfriendly. The location, despite being under construction, had its charm and beauty, but there were some complaints about the pricing being too high for basic items. The dining experience had its highlights but fell short for a group booking, and the facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, while comfortable, showed signs of wear and tear, and I had to switch rooms due to a booking discrepancy. The service was a bit hit-and-miss with some exceptional staff members but overall lacked friendliness. The location was great for visiting the horse park and nearby attractions, but there were reports of pest issues in some areas. The dining experience was mediocre, and there were some billing discrepancies. Overall, it was an average experience with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic, close to the Kentucky Horse Park and downtown Lexington, the rooms felt outdated and a bit noisy overlooking the lobby. The service was welcoming and efficient, but I had a few hiccups in tracking down staff at times. Dining was good, but the billing for extras could get confusing. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The location was convenient, with easy access from the interstate and a good selection of local restaurants nearby. The service was friendly, but there were some miscommunications regarding reservations. The rooms were cozy and clean, but the bathroom was quite small. The dining experience was good, although room service charges were limited to 2 people per room. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The room was not in a ready-to-be-used condition, but it was clean and updated. The service was pleasant but could use a little more polish. The location was great, with a friendly staff, but there was loud music until 11:00 pm. The dining experience was not satisfactory, and the facilities were subpar.
