“Great hotel, great New Years Party!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for New Years Eve to bring in 2012. What a great time! First let me start with the hotel. Our room was wonderful! It looked like it had been recently upgraded/updated. It was very clean. We had dinner at the hotel and it was delicious. Tasted like they have a professional on staff. Lots of flavor. The staff was very nice.

The hotels New Years Eve party was a blast! There was live music in one space, karaoke in another and a dj in yet another. Something for everyone. It was a great time and very tasteful. We are already planning on going back next year.

I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again or recommend it to out-of-town guests. It’s very clean, wonderful food, courteous staff and just an exit or two away from major shopping areas.

On a side note, the rooms used for the NYE party would be great for a wedding or business conference. I am involved with a professional organization and we will be looking into using the hotel for future events.

“Great Conference that didn't break the bank!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

I booked the Clarion Hotel in Lexington, KY for our 2011 Fall Conference, with approximately 800 people staying on the property, utilizing the conference rooms and other amenities at the hotel. The staff did a phenomenal job of anticipating our needs and were extremely easy to work with as we planned the event. During the event, the staff continued to impress with their attention to our needs. The hotel, while not a brand new facility is absolutely comfortable and clean, and has an excellent staff that obviously cares about the experience of their guests. Our conference was a great success, and the price for our participants and for our organization was very reasonable!

“Clarion Hotel Lexington”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

I stayed at the Clarion Hotel in Lexington, Ky in January 2012. I was more than pleasantly surprised. The room was great! Memory foam bed, flat screen TV, and even a great shower head! ( We all know that matters). Aside from the room, we ate at the hotel restaurant and the food was great. They have a chef on site and the food showed that. It was not just "banquet" food churned out from the back kitchen. The pool area and hot tub were great too. All in all I will stay here again no doubt.

“Older in a genteel way.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My wife and I stopped here on our way back home to Missouri. We were tired from a day of driving and it is always nice to have a desk staff that are happy to see you without a booking. This hotel is a bit older in a colonial style full of the art of riding and horses and you know you are in Kentucky. Even our room was painted in the colors of saddle brown and jodhpur white. My wife, being more clever than I pointed this out. The bourbon glazed duck in the hotel restaurant was mighty fine.

Room Tip: This is a big convention size property, so we were probably the only guests on our wing. It made fo...
