Top Downtown Arts Center Hotel Reviews

The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Good location"

Residence Inn by Marriott Lexington City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean, and modern hotel. Desk staff was super friendly. Charming little "Convient store" in the lobby. Central location within walking distance of several shops, restaurants, Rupp Arena, and more. Parking lot located underneath was helpful. Only MILD complaints would be the breakfast bar was a little cold and mostly empty by 9:40 even though breakfast is served until 10... and the room was supposed to have a white noise machine but it didn't, and it was very loud until after 1am with people drinking and playing live music at bars around the hotel."

Best Downtown Lexington location! + free parking

10/10 Excellent

"This property is updated, modern, and very clean. It has a very large walk-in shower in the primary bedroom and a shower and tub in the guest bedroom. Both baths have dual sinks. It's a little pricey, but if you are looking for location, location, location, this is the place! Easy walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Lex e.g. Frank & Dinos and Dudley's. Loved Stella's Deli for breakfast, too. We were there for Keeneland racing and UK football. UK won on Saturday night and the party in the street/adjoining parking lot was still going strong at 1 pm. Great news, the condo was very well insulated from street-level noise so we weren't bothered at all. Free parking with an easy drive to UK, Keeneland, and surrounding areas. MC"

Morrison Cabin Offers The Finest Interiors, Unique History & Very Best Location

10/10 Excellent

"An historic and nicely renovated property, w/expected amenities except for non functioning tv in 1st floor master. Contacted host on arrival night re TV issue, and to report a light shade in master w/evidence older damage -- no reply to my message re either concern. Bed in master extremely comfortable, and HVAC perfect even during extreme heatwave. Kitchen well stocked. Sofa in living room not for sitting -- historic but has outlived its time. All living areas very well cleaned. Dispensers for hair products not working but host left adequate shampoo and conditioner, along w/ a great supply of fluffy bathtowels-- generous # Overall, location just excellent. Neighborhood good for walking."

Gratz Park Place-Historic District- Walk Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful experience at this property. It's a great location with short walks to Rupp Arena and the downtown area. There was an issue with one AC unit when we arrived and the owner was there within 15 minutes and had a technician on property shortly thereafter to fix the issue. Great response! The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again if we returned to Lexington with a group."
