This is the most fun place to stay in all of LEX in the summer! I stayed for my birthday & celebrating being one-year cancer-free this August and I live in town! Everyone was kind & helpful. Food at the lounge was great! The pool makes you feel like you are on vacation at a resort! Thinking seriously about making this a yearly thing.

Room had a musty smell felt humid in the room. The hallway also had a smell like that as well. The floor in the room felt sticky and was dirty. The bartenders were very nice and helpful with where to go in Lexington and didn’t wait long for a cocktail. Checking in and out was great

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Love it. Close enough to downtown for a cheap uber but far enough away that the noise and trouble is beyond sight or hearing. Beautiful property, two great pools, wonderful staff.

It was good but lots of construction or I’d give it 5 stars. The best part was the indoor pool which was the perfect temperature. Most the time hotel pools are way too cold but it was perfect. I so wish the hot tub was not under construction. However, they also had an outdoor pool and hot tub. The gym was on the small side but who cares when you can do laps in the perfect temperature pool lol.

Our room was clean however the shower wond didn’t work just the rain shower head. We were not aware of refrigerator in room…didn’t see it listed on website Dinner at the bar restaurant was a challenge. Menu was limited. Our table was very wobbly but manager adjusted it. Asked for a Jack Daniel’s and diet and they were out of Jack. Husband asked for a beer listed in menu and they were out of that and I ordered another item on the menu and they were out of that so I got the chicken sandwich same as my husband. It was pretty good From our room on 6tg floor we heard construction going on in the Main Street until 10 pm We liked the location and would stay there again just need to work on a few things Thank you

When I arrived i was able check in early & add an additional day to my stay. Hotel has a nice restaurant and a bar. Staff at both were very pleasant. Starbucks for coffee in the morning opens at 6am which was good but would be better if it was an hour earlier. Lots of parking and the hotel room was nice.

Staff was great, one of the best. Rooms were nice but could have been cooler and with more amenities (no microwave is a bummer) but the shower was awesome. Some small cleanliness issues but nothing serious, and the property was having AC issues so it's understandable. Overall a nice week and a great staff, always a solid experience with Marriott.

This is our first choice to stay every time we visit our daughter who attends UK! We love the accommodations.

Overall the hotel and amenities were nice. The biggest complaint was the cleanliness of our shower. The shower could use a detailed clean and even an update. The room itself was clean. While it was nice to have a breakfast buffet inside the hotel, we felt it was overpriced for the amount of breakfast options to choose from with the breakfast buffet. The pools were nice and we liked being able to choose from 2 pools and 2 spas. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy on the property.
