Top Martin Luther King Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Lexington

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. We did specifically book there’s because of the indoor pool and the larger rooms, but the pool was closed. The rooms were spacious, clean and they had a pack n play for our use as well. Breakfast was great and our check in and out process was smooth."

GuestHouse Lexington

8/10 Good

"The room was updated and very clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was slightly disappointing but satisfactory. This hotel does not have an elevator so getting my wife's extremely heavy bag up the long flight of stairs was a chore (should have taken a room on the first floor; wish they had mentioned that right away). Also our room was just off the stairs by the large foyer/check in area so any noise in the lobby or preparing for the breakfast easily heard in our room, so get a room away from the foyer. Overall, I would stay here again; I would just get a room on the first floor away from the lobby."

Comfort Inn & Suites Lexington - Hamburg I-75

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here 3 nights. Was very enjoyable ! The room was very clean and the staff was very helpful. We were on the I-75 side of the hotel the first night . It was very noisy with all the trucks on I-75 very close by. The noise level was 75db. They moved us across the hall and was perfect ! We would stay here again!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lexington Green

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! Everything was very clean. The breakfast was amazing with made to order omelettes & waffles & very spacious dining room. It would have been nice to have queens beds instead of double size, but for one night, it was fine. Overall a positive experience!"
