Hampton Inn Lexington-Historic Area

I was really happy with the hotel and would definitely recommend. The service was great, a nice greeting when I checked in and the staff were friendly throughout the stay. Special shout out to Ginny at the front desk for her stellar service. The location is inviting, and my king bed & room with outside entry was spacious and clean. The room had all the Hampton amenities including a nice size TV, microwave, mini fridge, iron and full size ironing board, and a coffee maker. The traditional Hampton Inn breakfast. The bed was comfortable, and the room had a nice lounge chair. There was plenty of parking, and my room was in the back of the hotel (by the cabin) and the area was quiet and relaxing.

I thought being that is a historic home they would’ve kept some of the character, but everything looks so modern. I wish the rooms had more character. The cost of this place was pretty outrageous.. $350 for a one bedroom for one night! Probably one of the most expensive hotel rooms I’ve stayed in and it doesn’t even have any cool amenities or any fun things to do. The locations ok is not near any good dine in restaurants. Still like 15-20 minutes from everything. They don’t offer Hilton Honors discounts or military discounts. Rooms were nice and clean.

Nice room with hideabed to expand to 3 of us. ervice for the room was great and had a fridge and free wifi. Donna did very nice breakfasts for all! The access to the community is superior. Unfortunately they are booked early for the "significant" weekends for WLU and VMI!

Completely average. I’ve stayed here a lot. The location is good but it is way overpriced. Other hotels are less than 5 minutes away from anything in the town and are much better in amenities (service, workout room, breakfast). You can do better.

This property is all over the spectrum! Here is how I would rate our experience and let you decide if you can put up with the 1-star parts for your vacation. We stayed in Manor 4 which is on the 2nd level. 5-star - Grounds, Location, History, Unique for Hampton Inn, Antique Furniture, comfortable bed and pillows, cookies 1-Star - TV Remote (I applaud anyone tough enough to try and watch TV, and a standing ovation for you if you master the Sleep Timer for the TV) worst remote ever anywhere in the world. Thermostat (should have 1 button marked 100% ice cold air) the temperature control buttons don't do anything, heating blows cold air, cooling blows cold air, turn it off and the bathroom blows ice cold air. I can't comment on how it works in the cooler months. Worst orange 'juice' is really just orangy water. 2-star Hot Tub (time for an upgrade) it is luke warm and the jets are only for bubbles not for massaging sore muscles. Breakfast "chef" (stocking food should be taught) items re-filled by request only. I asked for bagels and she supplied 3 which were grabbed before she got to the back room to continue sorting forks. Tables dirty.

Location is 5 stars. The only chain hotel in historical downtown Lexington, near shops and restaurants, part of hotel is a historical plantation home and you're surrounded by the mansion grounds including gorgeous old trees. Room is 3 stars (note, this was the cheapest room category). I live less than two hours from Lexington, VA and have kept an eye on the rates as I like Lexington and I've wanted to spend the night - they are usually more than I want to pay. I expected the rooms to be nicer for those prices. I had a king with exterior door, motel style. It was fine, but a bit dated and dark. I was expecting some period furnishings or decorations and my room didn't have them. (Note: Most of the rooms are in two motel style newer (1970s?) buildings next to the mansion, but there are also several rooms in the mansion that are historically decorated and pricier). There was mold on the ceiling of the bathroom and the it was not possible to make the shower colder. (The water was nice and hot, but if you try to make it cooler is shut off). It was great for what I paid, $115 at Hilton Honors special rate), but I've seen the room priced in the $200 - $300 range, and I would have been a bit disappointed if I paid that. Everything was in good condition, and the fridge is larger than the usual small fridge. Area is safe, so exterior door was fine I went on a Sunday night, note that a lot of restaurants are closed Sunday night and many shops are closed on Monday, which was part of the reason for the steep discount, plus it's a college town with two colleges, so this tends to be a quiet time there. Breakfast is in the mansion and there are a few tables on the veranda, all filled when I was there.

Team at the hotel is great and the old mansion integration is cool. Breakfast was above compared to other Hamptons. Staff and location really make this place. Room was a little musty but other than that, a great stay. Plenty of parking and a short distance to downtown and the colleges. Great price for what you get.

Passing through from DC to KY.. I ALWAYS stay in a Hampton if available. Not disappointed! Check in was easy. Bucky was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Delicious hot breakfast. Great place. Highly recommended! I will definitely stay here if I return to Lexington!

The hotel and it’s historic setting are just what we wanted! The lobby in an old house has everything you need including comfortable surroundings, ease of the entrance & very helpful staff. The room was nice & in line with Hampton. One drawback not reflected in the rating was breakfast. The oatmeal was not completely cooked when I arrived at 7:30 am (breakfast served at 6 am). & coffee ran out & took a bit to be replaced. I would definitely opt for breakfast in town. Plenty of good options that you can walk to. But I would definitely stay here again even without breakfast. Please respond. I would like to know how you find the breakfast. We are Hilton Diamond members and want to know.
