Hilton Lexington/Downtown
Front desk staff was great. Room was clean. Parking easy. Great central location. The only thing that was disappointing was no coffee for guests. As an early riser (while family is sleeping) I appreciate being able to go into the lobby for coffee. There is only an overpriced ‘Starbucks’ for coffee ...

Hotel LEX, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
The room was clean, but the lighting in the room was terrible. The rooms appeared newly remodeled but lacked modern lighting. The pool area was very nice, clean and big. Overall it was okay..would I stay there again? No
