The reason the hotel was so overpriced when I stayed would be because I stayed here for the world equestrian games. Other than the price it was a good hotel. Very clean with a comfortable bed. Had a fridge, microwave, tv and safe. Although didn't seem to have a DVD player which was dissapointing as I was traveling on my own. The cleaners were nice people. I usually left my room around 10.30 and they were circulating and always smiled and said hi. They ladies on reception were nice and happy to help out.

Location was ok, there's lots of fast food around. Also a Kmart opposite and a Starbucks down the road. Another plus is there's a mall close by :)

This hotel does not meet Red Roof's standards. It is in a major need of a face lift. The hotel was dirty and the room's decor worn. When I booked this room, I was told that the hotel offered a morning breakfast. Once I arrived, there is no breakfast available costing my family an additional $20 each day as we now had to eat out. I will not be staying at this location on my future trips to Lexington.

this review concerns the SOUTH location - not the NORTH location - and based on reviews from this site and the convenient location I made reservations at this hotel. the cab from LEX airport dropped me off at about midnight (delays in Atlanta of course), and I went in the small lobby to check-in for three nights.

The check-in person was was very nice and pleasant and put me in a room on the third floor. I had lots of time to notice how worn and grungy the reception area was because of their new computer system.

Getting to the elevator entailed going back outside the lobby and struggling with my luggage around the corner of the building, and walking down a dirty cement walkway to a central area where the elevator was. the cement around the elevator was spattered with what looked like blood, as was the elevator which was extremely dirty.

once at the third floor the walkway was even more filthy and there was the same trail of 'blood' spatters. just as bad, there was a paper-plate size splotch of what looked like old vomit just outside the elevator.

dreading what the room might look like, and feeling totally spent after a long day of traveling, I unlocked the front door of my room and saw the icing on the cake: bare box-springs, thin mattress, worn bedding, marred furniture, and overall depressing 'decor'.

even though it was after midnight, and I was way tired, I backed out of the room, struggled back to the elevator, back down to the reception area and checked-out.; then called a cab and spent another $25 to get across town to check in at the Sheraton Four Points - ~$20 more per night.

to their benefit, the Red Roof Inn night desk person was gracious and kind and a little apologetic.

i'm not a hotel snob, and have stayed at hotels that cost less per night than this one ($67 per night including tax). this Red Roof Inn is not up to the brand standards and the dirt looked like it had been accumulating for a long time.

As of today I'm at another Red Roof Inn in Ocala, FL, and very pleased with the value for my money - clean, clean, clean - and an interior elevator/staircase which made me feel much safer.

For only one night I wasn't about to pay $100.00 or higher. The room was very clean the bed was confortable, (not high quaility) but you got a good nights sleep. The room temp were great and you could control it for better sleeping. The bathroom was clean, not much extra stuff like soap, shampoo or the other things you pay over $100. a night for, but at this price I'd rather have my own stuff anyway. no hair dryer, but that's just an extra you pay for at other hotels... bring your own it's better than those cheap ones.
I will stay at this one again.
