"Bed was comfortable. Water pressure was excellent. They had tea bags in the room besides coffee....yay! Room was spacious. Didn't need it, but there was an iron and an ironing board. Breakfast was good (just wish it started at 6 vs 6:30). Check in and check out was easy. Room was quiet."

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

With hindsight we'd have spent more nights in Lexington. There's history to explore, numerous stud farms welcome visitors, and the restaurants are good.

If the opportunity arises a visit to the local stud farms, were you can meet some of the worlds top stallions. Coolmore Ashford stud is a must.
