Exceptional Stay!
Pros:

The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful. Loved the complimentary cookies the night before! Coffee available 24/7! Very nice pool although we didnt have time to swim, will use the pool next time! We were very impressed with the complimentary fully cooked breakfast!! What a delight! Upon leaving grabbing a newspaper and some mints for the drive home was a perk also!! Great location for the venue we attended a concert at, only about 1.3 miles from the hotel!

Cons:

Honestly there wasnt anything that we didnt like. Very pleased with our stay!

Great stay
Pros:

My friend was getting married at the Round Barn in Lexington. I was unfamiliar with the area and was looking for something kind of generally close to the venue and the location for the rehearsal dinner. This wasn’t too far from the venue. The room was really nice. It was close to a Walgreens and not too far from other shopping. There was a fridge and microwave. Overall it was a great stay and was close to the location we needed. Would definitely stay again.
