Decent
The room was clean but be prepared to be awaken each early morning with the trash truck emptying the dumpsters outside. The outlets are not situated by the bed so bring an extension cord to charge your phone. There is no mini fridge or microwave in the room. The grab and go breakfast is just that so we went down the street for breakfast elsewhere.

Great location right in the middle of quaint shops and restaurants. Breakfast was minimal but coffee was good. Could have used a better pillow. Overall nice hotel and would stay there again.

Convenient to downtown Lexington
Older hotel that recently went an ownership change. Kind of pricey for what one got- a room with a bed and bathroom but it is in a college town over a weekend. Convenient to everything in Lexington. Nice bar and restaurant that closed kind of early.
My only complaint is there was maybe 1-2 power outlets in the room, with none near the night stand to charge a phone. Hope they can remedy that with the renovations.

Nice historical hotel
Quaint historical hotel in the heart of Lexington. Breakfast was ok. Just bagels, instant oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, coffee and juice. Hotel was clean. Would stay again.

Very good location but room was just good. Carpets a little dingy. Bathroom had waterfall showerhead and nice size. Parking behind hotel was very tight. Excellent proximity to Lex restaurants, shops and W&L campus. Check- in desk staff not very welcoming or friendly.

Historic hotel in the heart of Lexington
Wonderful historic hotel located right in the heart of Lexington Virginia. The rooms were well appointed and had plenty of space, we're very clean, and extremely comfortable. One side parking was free and super convenient. Almost everything you would want to see in Lexington is walkable from the hotel.

Parking lot was behind the hotel, but there was only one entrance at the front of the building. Access was through a poorly lit alleyway, which was concerning at night as a woman traveling alone. Other than that, I greatly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back.
