Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms really need some serious updating, but they do come equipped with a fridge and microwave. The location was exactly what I needed, being pet-friendly and close to Cortland's Restaurant in the Lexington area. The dining experience was okay, but not exceptional. The service was a mix of rude behavior and professional, accommodating service. I had concerns about the noisy and rowdy atmosphere in the parking lot. Overall, the hotel offers a cheap rate but needs improvements for a better guest experience.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was convenient, but the rooms were in need of updating and cleanliness. The service was friendly and accommodating, which was a plus. The dining experience left something to be desired with limited variety. Overall, there were some positives but also areas that could be improved.
