Hotel looked cool but that’s it. The rooms were clean but Rooms are dark and cheaply decorated. Beds were not comfortable squeaky bed . Hotel has a bar / restaurant attached. Arrive at 9 pm and they said no food and around 10:30 they shut the bar down very rude bartenders overall not a pleasant time. Won’t stay here again for the price !

Good place to stay
Hotel was under construction, our room was very nice. The lighting was different, but ok. The adjoining room door had two locks that didn’t work, but the handle lock did. It wasn’t very sound proof, as we heard quite a bit of noise and talking. The beds were heavenly!! Very comfortable. The indoor pool area was very nice. Plenty of seating, both by the pool and outside of the gated area. Several arcade games. I didn’t eat breakfast, but my family said it had a variety of items and was very tasty. A note on the noise - we were there for a gymnastics competition and the hotel was inundated with families and loud cheerleaders (including ours). So I don’t base my stay on that so much. The location was great and not a far drive to downtown Lexington. We would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay it was nice to have everything in one place so we didn’t always have to leave. My kids loved having the arcade and pool. The staff was nice and the property is very well taken care of. A few minor things such as no towel pools and the breakfast area is very small and not laid out well. The restaurant had quite a bit of a wait for your food but it was good. We stayed for cheer nationals and there was a lot of kids I will say they didnt handle it too well. Every little thing you did they said something to you. I would definitely stay again and recommend it.

It was a very pleasant surprise of a hotel. Beds were comfortable ( memory foam style mattress) shower was capable of hot and warm water with decent pressure (rainfall style head). The styling was nice and pleasant. We will stay here again on a future trip to the area

Suggestions
I have a few suggestions 1. Fix the tvs so they are universal instead of having left handed tv 2. Add more lighting into the rooms it’s so hard seeing in the room. 3. Need a bigger breakfast area super crammed into a little room 4. Our room was having a power surge on Saturday night. The whole room would flick white when everything was off 5. Add a hot tub in the pool area plenty of open space 6. The showers are super slippery when wet 7. The showers hardly had pressure 8. The outside patio area was comfy the restaurant was delicious.

Towel shortage
The hotel decor was done nicely. The extra pillows were nice with my back issues. However the lack of pool towels made it hard for all guest to be able to dry off after they were finished swimming. In the time we were in the pool area someone went and requested towels for my group and hers which in total was 6. She was told at front desk they would bring them out they were short towels for people keeping them in their rooms. They then bring 6 towels as they were put down we were told we could not take all the towels. I understand allowing others to get a chance as well but it should have been stating in the beginning. And there were still soo many people who did not have a towel to dry off.
