The hotel itself is nice enough, located right next to the overpass that leads to UK. I know this because if I opened the drapes on my window I could see the kids walking to and from classes/exams ... and they could see me. Not ideal privacy ... Everyone who worked there was very friendly and efficient. The breakfast was... More

A group of friends and I stayed here for a St. Patrick's Day weekend. The room was very nice and spacious, and the hotel staff was very friendly, and the bed comfortable. They were very helpful in helping us call a cab to take us downtown. There was a good selection on the continental breakfast that had both hot and... More

I don't get it Holiday Inn. Your chain became popular because people could expect consistancy when traveling. We had a king sized bed in what was a very large room but no fridge/microwave. The Holiday Inn we'd been at the night before was a much smaller room but had a fridge/microwave. When we called the front desk, nobody offered to... More

Stayed in Lexington for a convention and booked too late to get a downtown hotel. This Holiday Inn is close enough to downtown for a quick drive or a long walk, and it is super close to UK. Breakfast was good, and the front desk staff gave my kids cookies when we walked in. Room was fairly clean and the... More

Not bad for an overnight stay. Staff was friendly, room was clean, and we were able to get a late check out. However, there were no towels at the pool, the pool water was cold (but the kids didn't seem to mind), and the hot tub was slimy. If you're not planning on using the pool, you'll enjoy.

The front desk clerk, Penney, checked us in. She was great! We asked for a fridge in our room, and she had one delivered along with a microwave within 15 minutes. She gave us great directions to a place for dinner. Our room was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The pool was really nice. In the elevator, we... More

Stayed for a tour of UK. I chose the hotel to be within walking distance to UK for the tour, we were advised by the front desk it was about a mile from where the tour started. We opted for a cab since we would be walking the rest of the day. It is walking distance but be careful about... More

I have to say that the staff, especially Nancy, were friendly and kind. The hotel appearance was good. The rooms were clean. The downside was the amount of noise you could hear from above, the room next door and in the hall.
