What guests think

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

What guests think

Many guests found rooms clean, comfortable, and sometimes spacious with city or arena views, though a number mentioned weak shower pressure and compact bathrooms. Service is mixed: numerous shout-outs for helpful staff and breakfast staff sit alongside reports of curt front-desk interactions, slow follow-up on issues, and frustration with an added early check-in fee. A few travelers felt the surrounding area less comfortable after dark despite the excellent walkability. Expect a convenient downtown stay with occasional operational trade-offs.

I love the walkway to Rupp Arena. We were staying in the hotel to attend an event there. We had our grandchildren and did not have to worry about crossing the busy street. There was one minor inconvenience - two of the hotel’s four elevators were not operating.

Pool out of order/ not listed on website at time of booking Paid for complete buffet/ not in service ordered from the menu Whirlpool not working/ called someone to go and look / didn’t go back to see if had been fixed Empty shampoo bottle/ used mine didn’t bother to say anything It’s the little things you would think a hotel like this would have or would advise you that are not in service prior to booking, if I had known I would have gone elsewhere and not booked to rooms for my kids to enjoy on a long weekend .

The property is very nice and clean. The only complaint was they only had two elevators working. There were several events in town and I think they had a couple of events at the hotel and the line to get on the elevator was long in the lobby and if you were on your floor it was long for it to get to you. The staff was very nice, over the top friendly.

The location was perfect for my conference at the Central Bank Center. The room had a great view and was very spacious and clean. It was very quiet on the floor at all times. The desk help were very knowledgeable and cooperative. Check-in was very congested, and the staff was more than equal to the task. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and intend to use it on my next trip to Lexington.

Rebecca

Aug 6, 2024

Stayed 1 night

The room itself was very nice, but it was SO loud. I could hear every word my neighbors were saying, and they talked and laughed long into the night, so I got very little sleep. It also woke me up whenever they used their bathroom, as it was quite loud in my room. I also got what I assume is a wake-up call at about 6:40 in the morning that I did NOT order. That was distressing. When I picked up, it continued ringing so it seemed like an automated call. The shower pressure was pretty low. Other than that, the rooms were nice and comfortable.

The overall stay was fine and Hilton eventually allowed us to move to another room. But this hotel has ongoing AC issues that need to be addressed. Many rooms do not cool properly and feel very humid. We experienced this on a prior stay in 2024 and again during this trip. (College team block of rooms). The plumbing needs work also. Our first room did not have enough pressure to fully flush the toilet. Toilet was not clogged. But the lack of pressure in the pipes created a weak flush and the shower flow stopped mid shower a few times. We asked the front desk if we could change rooms but they wanted to send maintenance up instead. But maintenance never came. So we waited another day to ask again to be moved to another room. I am generally not a complainer and we thought we could get by in the first room. But, the AC and plumbing was too much of an inconvenience. I am positive the management at Hilton knows they have an AC problem but they seem to be fine with booking these problem rooms out.

The Hilton is very clean and the location was great. The room was average and the beds very comfortable. However, the AC didn’t work properly and was set at 60 degrees. I was unable to get the room warmer without having to just turn off the fan. The water pressure was also low. Otherwise it was a good stay.

We stayed on the 16th floor. Room was clean and nice but VERY hot in the room. Could not get the temp in the room below 76°. Had to get a fan from the front desk just to be able to sleep. Also, water pressure in shower was very poor. Overall just ok experience.

The room was extremely hot. We turned the thermostat to 60 and ran it with the fan on, but the room was still very hot. We were uncomfortable and unable to get good sleep. As we went to leave the next morning, you could instantly feel cool air as we stepped into the hallway. Not sure why the room was so hot and uncomfortable, but do not plan on staying at this location again.

They used to stand for something....not anymore....

Was a nice hotel from the rooms and the feel of it. However staff was very hit or miss. One literally rolled her eyes when asked about the included breakfast, couldn't answer the question and told the other front desk girl she couldn't deal with this, who then stepped in and kindly answered the question. My room was incredibly hot. I asked about the AC not working and they assured me that they would get someone to fix it or get me another room. Neither of these things happened and had miserable nights trying to sleep with it blowing hot air. Had to go down to the lobby multiple times just to cool off.
