Top Distillery District Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Lexington - Horse Park Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"clean room business friendly great breakfast"

Hyatt Place Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"We have chosen to stay in this exact Hyatt hotel 5 times over the past couple years. We have also stayed at two other name brands within this block of about 5-6 hotels, and this Hyatt is the winner in all categories, except for lobby ambiance. ( Again, the lobby is adequate, just not remarkable.)This hotel, and the other 5 within a one mile radius, are not intended to be high end resort properties, but comfortable, value accommodations. We like the small size of this hotel, plus... Rooms here have always been very clean, everything works properly, breakfast and coffee are included and more than adequate. Staff is friendly. Parking is plentiful. The property itself is well maintained, and the neighborhood has proven to be very safe. All the staff members seem to care, and take pride in this hotel. We CHOOSE this Hyatt over the others, as we come to Lexington at least a couple times every year. If we don't need to stay closer to the university, we choose this suburban location, immediately off I-75."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Georgetown, KY

10/10 Excellent

"My room was excellent, very clean and very big, which was great. The staff was so nice, friendly and helpful. It was close to everything, especially the Cracker Barrel! I enjoyed my stay there so much that I stayed there on my way to Wisconsin, and six days later, I stayed there on my way back home from Wisconsin. It's a great place to stay!"

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at The Elwood! The staff especially Stephanie and Nastyia went above and beyond to be helpful. Thank you so much to them. The Fiddletree down stairs had great food and very fresh. Eat or have a drink outside if you get the chance it was nice. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. Our room had a horse theme which I loved! The hotel was close to everywhere we wanted go. I’m so glad I picked this hotel for our stay in Lexington."
