“Very nice room - good price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011

I booked my room on priceline, which can sometimes be scary since you do not know where you are staying until after you have paid, but I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised! I had read some of the other rooms before making the trip and I was a little worried. Our room was exactly as pictured with the white down comforter and very comfortable bed. The room had a fridge and microwave and was very convenient to the ball fields. We were here for baseball and the fields were only 3 miles away. We were on the first floor in the main building and it smelled very good- like cinnamon. I saw others complained of smoking odors, but we did not experience any of these. I was very happy with our room. It was right up there with the Marriots that I normally stay at, except here you also get somewhat of a breakfast and you do not get anything included at the Marriot. Also, the girl at the front desk was very friendly. Hope this review was helpful to future travelers!

Room Tip: main building- first floor, king size bed - very satisfied! No pool, but wasnt a concern of mine

“Misguided”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

This is not even motel 6 material and what makes it worse is the pictures depict this updated room with comfy beds BUT what we were given was a below average bed with thin pillows, worn blankets and a paper thin bed spread...yes bed spread...not comforter. Don't be fooled by the pictures. Also wifi internet access did not work.

“so so hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2011

strange room. kingsize bed with 1 night stand. small round table and 2 dining room chairs.No desk, no easy chair. lighting very dim with wall switches in the most inconvenient places. Old style tv. Continental breakfast terrible: white sliced bread`, boiled eggs, cereal of some sort, and dry as stone pastry, sour oj, coffee. Think twice before booking here. Near UK hospital. Parking lot weird and in sections.

“a great place to stay in Lexington”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here for one night on our way home from Tennessee. We hadn't visited Lexington before and this hotel seemed close to sites we wanted to visit. The hotel was very easy to find and has plenty of free parking. Check-in and check-out was very efficient. The room was larger than I expected for the price and included a mini fridge and sink. Being so close to all the hospitals worried us about ambulance sirens in the middle of the night but we heard nothing while in the room.

The only down side to the hotel is that they need to provide more seating in the breakfast area. We ended up eating breakfast hunched over a coffee table in the lobby.

“Best location for U KY hosps. reasonable and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2010

person found this review helpful

I having been staying at U Inn many times, mostly overnight, when working at Kentucky Children's Hospital and Chandler Hospital. This inn is the closest, within easy walking distance, friendly and considerate and reasonable priced. (you need to drive to get to the "attractions of Lexington, however). Comfortable and quiet rooms, nice breakfast available even earlier that the stated 6am.
