This is the perfect spot for a quick sleep off I-75. Clean and basic room offers good value for an overnight traveler.

We were looking for a simple inexpensive room that was clean and comfortable. A coupon gave us a great deal and we slept well. Ate a quick bite in the tiny breakfast area and were on our way.

I think that Microtel Inn, Lexington, is a great choice to stay in this area, especially those who want to go to Kentucky Horse Park and Keeneland Race Course (I stayed there for 13 nights). The rooms are large enough to be considered comfortable, quiet and very clean. Cleaning and change of towels and bed linen are made every day. Great breakfast taking into consideration american standards: eggs and hot options every day, orange juice, coffee, milk, tea, bread and so on. Reception staff very kind and considerate, especially Teresa. The area is safe, very close to Walmart supermarket, Rite Aid pharmacy, Mc Donalds, Wendys and other restaurants. About 10 minutes to go to downtown by car and 20 minutes to Keeneland (a car is necessary in Lexington). Very close to malls: Hamburg Pavillion is less than 4 minutes by car with so many options to lunch/dinner and shopping.

This was the most disgusting hotel I have EVER seen. We pre-booked a Queen, non-smoking room. The room smelled like it had been smoked in (I have severe asthma and cannot tolerate cigarette smoke for long periods of time), the bed was NOT a queen bed and when I went to ask for a room change because it wasn't what I paid for, I was told that was a queen room (I have a queen at home...definitely NOT a queen bed). I always inspect the beds before getting in at all hotels I stay in and found a long, dark hair on one of the sheets. The bed skirt had stains on it and I found a dead bedbug on the carpet beside the bed. We immediately checked out as we were beyond mortified. Due to 2 major events going on in Lexington that night, we were unable to get a room anywhere else in Lexington, so we drove to Dry Ridge, KY (about 45 min north) and had a great stay at the Hampton Inn there. The only plus side to this hotel was the very nice man who checked us in. My advice would be to stay as far away as possible from this hotel until they do so major upgrades and cleaning!
