What guests think

At DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Lexington, guests praise the spacious renovated suites, atrium look, and friendly staff, while recurring drawbacks include loud HVAC, intermittent plumbing or hot water problems, and unexpected parking fees and occasional parking-lot security concerns.

Most describe the suites as clean and comfortable, though some noted strong cleaning or sewage smells and occasional ants or housekeeping misses. The setting is handy to restaurants, UK, and highways, but the hotel sits behind shops and a few guests reported vehicle break-ins. Amenities like the pool and bar add convenience, making it a suitable choice for travelers prioritizing style and location.

The outdoor pool was too close to the dumpster. The room is nice but the AC unit is way loud. Parking was plenty and easy. Most guests were supper friendly and courteous. Some guests on the same floor we stayed on Friday were inconsiderate and constantly entering and leaving and knocking and slamming the door. I wish the staff could have intervened. Same thing could be said for those guests who parked their cars in front of the hotel entrance (and blocking an already narrow space), a place that was supposed to be load/unload and leave.

This is a perfectly quaint hotel with all the amenities, ideal location, clean and just adorable for the cost. I the Juliette balcony was a nice added touch to make it feel even more grand. The staff was accommodating and friendly and check-in was seamless. A bar and restaurant in the atrium made it even more convenient. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

My car got stolen! I admit, the key fab was left in the vehicle on accident but I probably would not have stayed there if I knew the "hood" was right behind it and per the police and other local business' "A problem". Beautiful old building, nice clean rooms, but the elevator rubber smells gotta go.. Got my car back very quickly thanks to the Lexington POPO. It was in the neighborhood behind the hotel. I walked 4 mintues from the hotel to my vehicle after listening to the sirens chasing my car for a few. There are not even security cameras at this Hilton which baffled me. No cameras in 2025? That sucked but I rested well in my nice clean room.

This Doubletree looked like an Embassy Suites inside with room's that overlooked the central court which I liked. The place is bring renovated as we kept being told so the bar area was under stocked. The rooms have very comfortable beds and nice bathrooms in the jr suite we stayed in and was clean. No hair anywhere or signs of previous guests. The HVAC was super loud and we changed rooms because of the first unit only to have the second room still have a loud unit when it kicked on. Bad axx kids playing in the open court area and in halls middle of the night. Cookies were delicious. Location was convenient to downtown.

This was an unexpected one night stay as my car was struck by lightning on the way to vacation. I was not expecting to walk into such a nice hotel for the rate we paid. This place is gorgeous! As a horse person, all of the equine touches were appreciated (not bad being stranded in the thoroughbred capital!). The pool bottom was a little dirty and they were out of pool towels but staff ended up restocking before we were done swimming. They offered warm cookies at check in (I declined because I was in panic brain, I'm still sad about that), have a small convenience store, a bar, and what looked to be a delicious menu for room service. Breakfast was available at an additional charge.

The room layout was nice. $3 water and charging $15-20 for parking in a public lot is bad optics. The AC in the room was INCREDIBLY loud. The elevator made very strange noises. The toilet ran all night. The shower head was clogged. The pull out bed had a terribly worn mattress. The refrigerator didn’t work. No one maintains these buildings anymore.

The hotel is clean, the rooms are quiet and dark, and we had a small ant issue day one that the housekeeping staff took care of right away. The pool was nice and clean and the staff kept the clean towels stocked well through the day even though quite busy. The location was great for us, close enough any stores you could need and close enough to downtown for a quick drive there and back for great restaurants etc.

Nice hotel, clean and quiet, prompt staff. There was a septic or refuse smell walking out the back to the pool that might be less noticeable with fragrant trees/ bushes. Pool area was unkept and clean as well- seemed to be a shortage of towels in the towel caddy but that was easily remedied by asking for more. We stayed two nights and my only complaint was I asked housekeeping for extra wash cloths and they forgot them and they didn't re-supply our coffee bar. We would go back for sure. I loved the openness of the interior property and although the decor was done with dark finishes it definitely wasn't dingy or dated. A diamond in the rough!

Cleanliness would have gotten 5 stars but we were originally assigned a room that had been heavily smoked in. I did not appreciate walking into a room that smelled of smoke and areosol spray. As an asthmatic, that is a MAJOR no-no. Fortunately, the front desk quickly got us into a different room which was very clean and smelled amazing. The hotel may consider having a better cleaning plan in place for when something like this happens. Heavy areosol sprays over cigarette stinch is not a good plan. Where was the communication between staff and why was this room even allowed to be used? The rest of our stay was good. The parking was wonky, though.

The property has just been remodeled, with a beautiful atrium view—only problem with this is if there are loud voices below, they echo EVERYWHERE. So everyone in the open area on the first floor (which is where breakfast is served) needs to recognize VOLUME. The AC in my room kept me up all night (the 1st night). I got smart and turned it off the second night so I could sleep! The AC vent is aimed right at the head of the bed and is very noisy

I had a horrible experience at Doubletree Suites by Hilton. Google showed it as having in-room jacuzzi tubs. They did not. The a/c unit was halfway out of the wall, the tub didn’t hold water and the toilet was not flushing properly and ran all night. The front desk just shrugged their shoulders and told me I should have called maintenance. I wasn’t settled in the room - because they refused any refund until after 12:30 am. I was exhausted and as a woman traveling alone, I certainly wasn’t going to invite maintenance in. The room should have been checked and readied before I checked in.

Stayed here for the weekend to attend a family member's memorial service. This is an aged 3 star hotel masquerading as 4 stars. The building has been renovated, but still shows its age. My room still had an old school chain style secondary security lock, which was missing the end of the chain rendering it useless. The room was missing the remote for the TV and the room phone did not work at all, so I had to call the front desk on my cell to report the missing remote. The "free airport shuttle" was unavailable on a Friday evening when I arrived to Lexington. After calling the hotel, I was told I had to prearrange the pickup for my arrival and they could not pick me up. It was also unavailable when I tried to schedule it for my return trip to the airport as well due to my early departure time to the airport. I ended up having to take an UBER. Neither of these circumstances were in any of the hotel's descriptions for the shuttle service. While I was at the airport waiting for my alternative transportation to arrive, multiple other area hotel chains arrived to pick up their customers. Skip the cookies and stay elsewhere.

Right outside the front door there is a very nice strip mall with an excellent mexican restaurant. The in-hotel restaurant was also good. Access to the highway for travel is very convenient as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel and will stay again when we come to Lexington.

Booked a honeymoon suite for our anniversary specifically for the deep soaking tub and king bed. Arrived and got checked into a standard double queen with shower. Told the hotel did away with all tubs during their remodel at first. Then got told our room was double booked and there was nothing else available with a tub. Was also told there was no manager available that evening, so needed to come back in the morning to talk to someone about a refund. We didn’t stay and this really put a damper on our evening as we had this stay planned during our only week off of work together. Overheard that a manager made the change to our original booking, so that and the fact that we were lied to originally about all of the tubs being taken out left us feeling misled about the whole booking. Won’t be returning.
