Downtown location was ideal for our wants/needs and what we expected.

A great downtown Lexington hotel.
Right in downtown Lexington and fun shops and restaurants.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely place, but one big issue
I would have rated it a 5 except that you had no control of the temperature in the room. We had to call the front desk to get temperature adjustments and that’s just ridiculous in my opinion.

Lovely!
Charming, lovely. It was a wonderful experience and the staff was wonderful! Would definitely stay again. Our only complaint was that we could hear the adjacent rooms on both sides. Conversations were clearly heard and kept us awake. I was even awakened in the night by someone snoring in the otger room. I don't feel the neighbors were loud either. Just thin walls. I think it is just that it is an older building.

Loved the walkability. We had a king corner room. Loved the shower. Clean room. Small parking behind hotel, but you can park in the public lot with your window pass.

Nice historical hotel
Quaint historical hotel in the heart of Lexington. Breakfast was ok. Just bagels, instant oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, coffee and juice. Hotel was clean. Would stay again.

Nice historical hotel in the center of town
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location right in the heart of historic district with walkable restaurants and shops. Hotel a bit dated and no frills but bed and room comfortable, sheets and towels fine. Photos make it look better than it was but I would come back for the location and ease. Not great for small kids and walls not sound proof.

Nice stay in Lexington
Clean, nice hotel, walking distance to many restaurants.

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.

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
Jeff, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is the former Robert E Lee hotel, which is what it still says above the door, making it a bit hard to find. The staff is friendly and the lobby is pretty. The rooms are a bit worse for wear — brown carpet on the floor and felt a bit in need to renovation. But the bathroom was redone very nicely and the room was clean. Very convenient to W&L and all the shops downtown.
Steven, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great location but the hotel itself was a huge disappointment. It is very shabby with stained carpets, linens and chipped furniture. Lack of outlets near the bed for cpap machine and other device chargers was a challenge. Uncomfortable shower situation with just a small glass wall leaving you cold. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
Michele, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Gin Hotel is our favorite hotel to stay in when in Lexington. So many great restaurants within walking distance and the Juniper Lounge on the 2nd floor mezzanine of the hotel is a fun spot to get cocktails and delicious food as well!

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.
