The hotel in Lexington isn't located right off 75, but it's only a few loops to get to it, which is worth it for the price and quality it offers. The rooms are clean and comfortable, equipped with a microwave and refrigerator in a beautiful breakfast lounge. The biggest highlight is the friendly service, although there can be some noise from the Mexicans who bring kids to work and blast loud music in the hall. Despite this, the staff makes the stay pleasant and memorable. Lots of restaurants are within walking distance, and the hotel is close to downtown, Keeneland, and other attractions. The facilities, while generally good, may have some issues like a vent directly below the bathroom ceiling. Overall, the hotel provides great value considering the amenities and level of comfort it offers.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were pretty good and comfortable; however, my room's location near the lobby meant waking up to a strong smell of breakfast every morning. On the bright side, it was quiet and conveniently located.
