Parking was very expensive. For a two night stay I paid $53. Incidentals were charged to me in the amount of $375. We only got two sodas and on chip. (one soda expired)

My stay at the lexington Marriott was phenominal. I can't remember the desk attendents name, but I think it was something like Sherman or Sheridan. He was amazing. The only thing I didnt like was the parking situation. I had to use the Parking garage offered by the hotel and i still got charged for parking. It wasn't terribly expensive, but I am not a huge fan of unexpected fees

We stayed on the 8th floor and we literally walked through the elevator to get to the restaurant. Infinity. Sometimes restaurants in hotels are a little underwhelming but everything we ate and drank was excellent and so was the service. Our room was very nice. We could live there.

There needs to be clearer signage both on the street and in online information about where the parking garage is and how to get to it. We had to drive around the building twice to spot it.

Check in was awesome, staff polite & professional, very welcoming and accommodating. The hotel is located in downtown Lexington beside Jeff Ruby's (great place to dine!). Our room was nice, bed was too hard for my liking, and the city view rooms are noisy... lot's of people out & about after midnight, traffic was loud. Overall, it was a nice stay... don't forget to checkout the rooftop pool, restaurant & lounge area... nice view of the city!

The location of the hotel is perfect for a fun night exploring different restaurants and bars right outside your door. There were so many fun places within easy walking distance! It is also a few minute walk to UK campus which we explored as well. We couldn't imagine a more ideal location if you want to be able to walk around downtown. The hotel was beautiful and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed breakfast as well.

Front desk was very nice but we contacted them multiple times starting in the morning that the soap dispenser in the shower was empty. After following up twice more during the day, we finally had to go down and get it from the front desk when we needed to get ready for an event at 5:00. Other people in our party also said they ran out of toilet paper and needed to go to front desk to get more.

The room was beautiful, the crustless quiche was delicious at the complementary breakfast, and the location was perfect for any downtown activities. We are already planning our next stay!

This property is extremely loud outside if your room is streetside - people congregate outside in the parking lot across the street until 2:30 am when bars close. It's too loud to sleep - awful. The cars and motorcycles rev their engines and take off all night long like they're racing - extremely loud. Police should do something about that. When we called the front desk, they offered us a noise machine and said this is typical of downtown. They probably get many complaints. If you are out at the bars and don't come back until after 2:30 am when they close, then it may be ok for you. Perhaps an interior room would be ok, not sure. Other than that, the hotel is centrally located, clean, and has a bar inside.

Charged twice for my room have made several attempts to contact them. They will not answer the phone in accounting department and everyone says they are unable to help you. Left several message over the last two weeks and no one has called me back. Do not book this hotel through Expedia they will charge you and so will the hotel. No one will assist you with it afterwards
