Everything previous reviews stated are true. Rooms, at best, are ok. I’ve had much better at holiday Inn. Breakfast well below average considering room rate. Would not stay there again

Convenient to downtown Lexington
Older hotel that recently went an ownership change. Kind of pricey for what one got- a room with a bed and bathroom but it is in a college town over a weekend. Convenient to everything in Lexington. Nice bar and restaurant that closed kind of early. My only complaint is there was maybe 1-2 power outlets in the room, with none near the night stand to charge a phone. Hope they can remedy that with the renovations.

Beautiful historical lobby including 2 telephone booths. The grab and go breakfast area had good coffee and a variety of options for a quick bite. A number of restaurants and bakeries are minutes away in this easily walkable town. Very clean and comfortable room.

Quaint hotel with classic vibes. If you have a room near the rear of the hotel you will hear the garbage truck dumping the dumpsters in the AM. Sound machine would have fixed that.

It was an old hotel that had been nicely restored. Very quiet and felt safe and could walk to shops and restaurants. The restaurant on the hotel balcony was enjoyable.

Great check in experience! I was thrilled when I realized we could check in early. It was an absolute wonderful experience! I was so happy with our rooms and the restaurant is a great option. Good food, great service and nice atmosphere! Loved it. Enjoyed staying there and it is right in the middle of shops, restaurants and close to VMI/W & L.

Very good location but room was just good. Carpets a little dingy. Bathroom had waterfall showerhead and nice size. Parking behind hotel was very tight. Excellent proximity to Lex restaurants, shops and W&L campus. Check- in desk staff not very welcoming or friendly.

Historic hotel in the heart of Lexington
Wonderful historic hotel located right in the heart of Lexington Virginia. The rooms were well appointed and had plenty of space, we're very clean, and extremely comfortable. One side parking was free and super convenient. Almost everything you would want to see in Lexington is walkable from the hotel.
