The room smelled bad upon entry, the TV remote didn't work, and there was mold/black grime along door and floor next to AC unit. The breakfast set-up leaves much to be desired with everything separated on random counters but no markers telling you where to go. The staff were friendly and courteous but definitely not the Best Western experience I'm used to at other locations for cleanliness/room satisfaction.

Review of Bistro on Main

Loved the excellent service! We didn’t have a reservation, but I’d recommend getting one, especially on the weekend, as they have limited seating. Excellent menu for a small restaurant with several appealing choices. I had a coconut shrimp entree and my husband had squash ravioli; we both enjoyed our dinner choices. The bread pudding was first rate, as well. Would definitely dine here again.

Review of Hardens

Harden's has much to recommend it - great food and drink at competitive prices. That said, they pander to a pretentious crowd from Washington and Lee. If you don't want to deal with effete snobby, dine and drink elsewhere.

Enjoyed our stay here on our way to trade in an RV in Virginia. The staff was very accommodating for parking our RV for the night. Most Wyndham properties I have stayed at were very nice and reasonable. I usually search them out for accommodations.

Review of Hardens

It's a pleasure to write the first TA review of Hardens. My wife and I headed here on a Tuesday for a date night. I had been advised to get there early - to beat the huge crowds that have been filling our new gem in Lexington. We arrived promptly at 4:00 and were greeted by Darren, our friend from the Red Hen. We picked a high table for two. Bill (Taps) and Jess (Legendary Eats), the owners, soon arrived with family - with Jess heading behind the bar.

After a brief chat with Darren to catch up on old times - Nadia, our server, arrived with menus. Bill and Jess know how to stock a bar - and mix some pretty special cocktails. I ordered my usual (from Taps and the red Hen) - a Whistle Pig on a rock. My wife - a Rye Manhattan. The drinks came - they were great - as expected.

It's a short - but eclectic menu - split between appys and mains. Based on several recommendations - we both selected the Korean Rice Bowl. My wife - with grilled Ahi. Mine - with fried chicken.

We enjoyed our drinks - and watched the crowd (and the noise) build. An eclectic crowd too. Since Hardens is across the street from W&L - it gets lots of folks from there - students, etc. Plus a load of locals who have followed Bill, Jess and Darren from Taps, Legendary and Red Hen.

Our Rice Bowls came - with a Sunny Side Fried Egg starring at you. My wife doesn't like these runny gems - but I told her to just stir it into the hot rice - and Voila!. A treat all the way through - with a wealth of flavors. The Tuna and Fried Chicken were perfect. This is a great main to start your experience with Hardens.

OK - This place is rightly VERY popular - and does NOT take reservations. It's open Mon thru Sat at 4:00. Accordingly - Mon, Tues & Wed are the least busy nights. But - it was packed when we left at 5:15. A caution - this place gets LOUD - Very LOUD - as the crowd grows. But - it's worth it.

At the Lexington Cigars & Lounge, I was truly impressed by the cozy elegance of the Jackson and Lee lounges, and the pool table added a perfect touch of leisure to the experience. The vast selection of cigars was a delight, making our visit to Lexington a uniquely enjoyable adventure.

After a 11 day road trip , Ho Jo was the best bang for the buck of any hotel we stayed in . From Austin Texas, to New Orleans, Birmingham Alabama , Nashville and Knoxville Tennessee and lastly Baltimore MD, our stay at the Howard Johnson in Lexington was the best value !

Review of The Georges

A charming, upscale hotel in the heart of Lexington. The staff is so welcoming and helpful, the esthetic is beautiful, and the ambiance is peaceful. The price was very reasonable for how nice the rooms are (we were in the newly renovated Livery building with heated floors, towel warmers, plush mattress, and comfy pillows). The breakfast was yummy each morning and the serves was just the kindest 🩷 We would definitely recommended this place for a nice couples get away.

Review of The Georges

Super comfy bed and beautifully appointed room. Really nice spacious bath with upgraded amenities . Delicious breakfast. Just a really cool hotel. Highly recommend! Dinner at Haywood’s was delicious and the jazz music was top notch. We look forward to many more stays at the George’s.

Very Clean Room with individual climate controls. It was very quiet there. A very convenient and very affordable place to stop for a night to rest and relax after a long day of traveling. They do have free coffee and WiFi available as well . Thank you for the nice stay!

Review of Niko's Grille

We decided spur of the moment to go to Lexington, Virginia for Valentine’s Day, 2024.
We called several high-end restaurants to make reservations for dinner. All were either full or could only offer seats at their bars.
My husband finally got a reservation to Niko’s Grille for dinner. I thought – Greek food for Valentines? However, it turned out to be the best restaurant meal we have had in months! The appetizer was fried calamari, so wonderful, perfectly crispy & delicious.
We shared the Greek Salad with Chicken & the Grilled Chicken Sandwich followed by Greek rice pudding for dessert. The meal was a little piece of heaven.
The staff was very friendly & helpful. We were treated like ‘part of the family’.
Who could ask for anything more?

Review of The Georges

The George’s never disappoints! Great hotel, great service and great location. The rooms are very comfortable and elegant, the service at Tapps - whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner/drinks/bar is always wonderful. My favorite hotel! I have stayed at The George’s several times and every time I hear - I am happy with my choice to return to this fabulous spot.

Review of The Georges

We have always loved our stays at The Georges, but unfortunately, this last visit had its share of snafus.

We arrived in Lexington a couple of hours before the standard check-in of 3:00 and were told we would be notified when our room was ready, but even at 3:10, we still hadn't received any communication. Our room, 10, was lovely, as are all the rooms we've ever stayed in at The Georges, though it was quite cozy/snug. As a matter of fact, it was so snug, there wasn't a closet, only a small hanging bar as you immediately walk into the room that certainly wasn't adequate for any type of hanging clothes. It was great having bottles of water in the room and bathroom, but really miss (and need) a glass or two ~ don't like rinsing toothpaste from my mouth with bottled water. While we had been walking around Lexington, we noticed Haywoods, The Georges' restaurant across the street, showed "seasonal risotto" on their posted menu. As Haywoods wasn't open yet, we asked one of the staff at The Georges front desk if she knew what the rissotto was. Rather than call and find out for us, she guessed that it was probably mushroom or parmesan, which it may have been, but I was quite surprised she felt her guesses were an adequate answer, rather than actually attempting to find out the real answer. Lastly, the following morning's breakfast wasn't without incident as we experienced a longer than usual wait for our food since our breakfast was mistakenly served to another table, which meant it needed to be reprepared.

Unfortunately, it feels like there are some hiccups occurring with The Georges, but I am hoping that with some new management (thank you for your interaction, Shannon!), The Georges will be running as smoothly and seamlessly as we remember.
