Now I Know How Hell Feels
I came into town for a Kentucky basketball game. I have been coming to this hotel since 2012. The only thing this hotel has going for it is the location. It is right by Rupp Arena. I get there on a Friday at around 3 and was told there would be an upcharge for checking in early. I never had to pay for one in the past. I was ok with it. Then I get to my room and it is hot. I shut off the heat and the room was ok then. I was on the 11th floor. My bed was too soft and sunk into the mattress. The shower head barely got any water out of it. So on Sunday I check out early to try to get an early flight. I had no luck and the airport got shut down due to weather. I call the hotel for a shuttle. They redirected to the shuttle person, but they never answered the call. I left a message the second time I called. No one returned my call. An hour later I finally got a ride from Lyft. I get back to the hotel and asked if they had a room for Sunday-Tuesday. They did. I was on 13th floor this time. The heat was so hot again that I turned it off. Even when I shut it off it was down it was so hot that I had to sleep in my underwear. Worst nights sleep that I have had. Was told it is an old hotel and I should have asked for lower floor and a corner room. The bartender told me her room was hot too and that the hotel was at 10% occupancy. So why in the hell did the hotel give us all the rooms on two high floors 12-13th floors. At least my shower head worked this time.

A great room with a snowy view
Staff were so helpful and friendly when I stayed here overnight- I am a nurse and needed to stay close to the hospital during a snow storm. Room service was delicious, the bed was so comfortable and the room was delightful. My new downtown Lexington favorite!

Arrived at the hotel it’s a much older hotel that is slightly renovated from 60-70s. Was suprised there was a $15 a day self parking fee for their deck. It’s listed in the more details farther down when you click the drop down. The hotel is in the downtown and places are walkable. We saw the marriott down the street and it seemed a lot nicer.

Thanks, but no thanks.
Parking situation was awful! Too us a half hour to find a spot bc they were selling spots for a show nearby. Should have been reserved for guests. Lady that checked us in wasn’t pleasant at all. 2 or 3 of the 4 elevators were out during our stay on the 14th floor. No room in the bar/grill to accommodate guests and folks wanting a bite/drink after the show at Rupp and severely understaffed. Rooms were so warm that we could t breathe. For the amount of money we paid for the night, I’d have expected much better accommodations.

Staff super nice and helpful, but property seemed almost abandoned: room smelled of mildew, no real dining options on site, three of four elevators inoperable, and a general sense of sadness about the property.
