The Gin Hotel, Ascend Hotel Collection

convenience to downtown shops and nearby universities. I liked the historical vibe to the building. I’m sure a lot of famous people have been guest at this hotel over the years.

The shower stall design is flawed. The open concept shower stall makes it impossible to keep water from making its way to the bathroom floor. There are no vending machines in the hotel, refrigerators or microwave ovens in rooms. I assume the current electrical system limitations prohibits having such items in the hotel. For the amount paid for a room, such amenities are taken for granted that they will be there. Read carefully about this property before you book and you won’t be disappointed.

The location is great. Being right in the middle of town makes it perfect for walking to shops and restaurants.

The breakfast offering was very sparse. There was no coffee each morning, I had to find an employee Anna ask them to refill the carafe. The room was comfortable, but there was so much light coming in from the hall all around the door, and the thermostat could not be adjusted. We had to crack open a window because it was too warm.

The room was clean and very comfy. The central location suited me fine (it's very quiet) and was close to a good bar with fairly good food. The young lady on reception (Emily/Emma?) was great; she was very helpful and we had a chat about her interest in history. The dedicated parking was excellent and I would certainly use this hotel again.

Breakfast was only OK. However I did find that throughout my recent trip to the USA the hotel breakfasts had all declined in quality. Its all cardboard cups for coffee and plastic disposable plates and knives (not just the Gin Hotel) (Just get the name sorted out! It was a bit confusing driving by and seeing a different name!)

Grand building. Clean. Comfortable bed and pillows.

Beautiful old building, which means few electrical outlet in room for plugging electronics. Included breakfast consisted of wrapped bagels, packaged pastries, yogurt, apples, oranges, bananas and fresh coffee - not exactly appetizing. The dining room is too small. The hotel in on a main shopping street. We stayed one night, a Monday night. Only 2 restaurants open on Mondays and both had long wait times.

comfortable bed, location

no Breakfast-the advertising should say Continental Breakfast-when saying “breakfast included “ the Front desk staff indicated upon leaving that the restaurant was closed for Christmas break for staff!! There should be something said to let your Clients know the reason no restaurant nor bar available!!

A great locations and well refurbished stylish hotel. The bar balcony is a great place for a drink before heading to one of many restaurants in town.

The breakfast is not of the standard I’d expect for a hotel charging this rate. basically a counter of mass-produced packets, no fresh items.

The room was a very good size and was clean. The beds were pretty comfortable. The location is perfect and Lexington is a charming city with nice shops.

The parking is out back and coming in through the back door with our luggage there was a noticeable sewage smell. The town is very nice but just about everything was closed on Mondays.

I gave very high rating in part because of the low price of a room compared to other hotels with intown walkable locations. The historic building has thoughtfully renovated rooms with very good bathrooms. Breakfast is modest but expected given the low room price. Besides, I prefer to breakfast at one the excellent bakery coffee shops in town.

It was a nice historic hotel. The city was pretty and the food at the restaurant was good. Our room was spacious but our bathroom could have used a little more cleaning. Oh and the bathroom had pocket doors which I loved!

It was noisy when people opened and closed their doors and you could hear them in the hallway. But it wasn't horrible and it was quiet after 10 so I was okay with it.

The room was nice. The shower was amazing. The staff was very friendly. The location in downtown Lexington was great.

The mattresses were ok. We were there 3 mornings for breakfast. The last morning there was no fruit, limited choices in bagels and oatmeal, and the coffee was empty. It was advertised as a "Deluxe Continental Breakfast".
