As Lexington has grown the number of hotel options has also grown, and you can find most chains within a couple of miles of downtown. That's a good thing. However, the Hampton Inn Col Alto is one of the best. Clean, comfortable, bit of history tied to it. If you want to be close to town this is a good one. There are higher end inn in town, but according to some reviews they are getting a bit tired (not a personal observation). The Hampton Inn has been around seemingly forever but it is not tired or dated. Highly recommended.

Large room of excellent quality with two queen beds. Room equipped with ironing board with iron, hairdryer, and plenty of hooks and towel bars in the bathroom but no microwave or refrigerator. I would say our room and the workout room were the cleanest we have seen in a hotel/motel. Kudos to the management and cleaning staff. Loved the decor in the lobby and breakfast dining area. We only stayed overnight but would have liked to have had time to walk around the outdoor area as it looked almost park-like. Room cost is a bit more than average Hampton Inn but we felt it was well spent.

Stayed just one night, very nice and well appointed room with all the amenities expected of Hampton Inns. The lobby is in a historic building and is very cozy with several common areas for reading or just sitting. Breakfast was very good and consisted of eggs, bacon, potatoes, fruit, cereal, yogurt and more. The staff was very nice and helpful. Overall, one of the better Hampton inns we've stayed in.

My daughter just had her wedding reception her and the service was so personable. Almost all of our guests stayed here and they all spoke highly of the accomodations. My daughter and her new husband stayed in one of the historic rooms in the restored mansion. Of course, these 4 rooms are quite a bit more expensive but worth it when you want to really impress. Close walking distance to attractions in downtown Lexington. BTW, my wife and I stayed here more than a dozen times before we actually moved to this beautiful and scenic part of the Shenandoah valley.
