Black Bear Lodge Motel

8/10 Good

"Property and room were very rustic. Second story balcony/walkway needed to be cleaned, there was a lot of cigarette ash on the balcony. Room needs to have some type of shelving below the TV. Parking area also needs to have more lighting. It is a diamond in the rough, we enjoyed our stay."

Best Western Eagles Inn

8/10 Good

"The EV charger is a game changer for me. My son’s girlfriend goes to Morehead but there are no superchargers within an hour of the school. When we first visited I had to plan a stop in Lexington and then make sure I had enough battery to get back. So much more convenient. The hotel was clean, breakfast was good, The staff was great."

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay for our anniversary weekend! It was so peaceful and relaxing—exactly what we needed. Between soaking in the hot tub and sitting by the fire, we loved having time to slow down and enjoy being together. Such a unique, cozy place to get away. We weren’t ready to leave and would absolutely stay again!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mt Sterling North by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel Came to stay one night for a funeral. Me & my best friend had 2 rooms reserved. We call & asked for connecting rooms & due to me having a suite n her having normal room we couldn’t, but we were allowed an early check in at 2pm to help us. Then when we came to actually check in they updated my friend’s room to a suite so we could have a joining rooms. The lady checking us in was so so nice. My room was perfect. I was excited for a hotel WITHOUT CARPET. It makes the room so much cleaner. Huge bathroom with bright lights to get ready. Then they had desk area with a mirror and chair you could sit and get ready too. I was thankful for the ironing board and iron for my dress for funeral. I slept great in the bed. It was an amazing stay. My friends went down for breakfast n sent me pics and were talking about how great it was. They said they had anything you could imagine. I was busy getting ready and had Starbucks door dashed to us. It’s a great area with a lot of little places to go. I stayed in a Hilton in Lexington 6 days last week and I would pick this hotel over that one any day. Thanks for a wonder -quick stop. ."
