"The motel was adequate for an overnight stay. It was easy to access from the freeway. The room was clean, but there was so much mold in the shower that I didn't use it.2018-06-29"
"The motel was a bit tricky to access, but it was quiet and peaceful. The rates were reasonable, and the employees were friendly and attentive. Clean room with a comfortable bed. The shower had good water pressure and drained well. No complimentary breakfast, but the coffee was good. I'd stay here again.2018-05-15"
"The motel room was clean and smelled fresh, but the mattresses weren't the best; we could feel the springs. The pillows were too small. The key cards barely worked. I had them re-set, but they still didn't work well. Decent place to stay, but bring your own pillows.2017-11-02"

"The room was old and needed upgrading. There were no dishes; we had to call and request a drinking glass. Find another hotel.2018-03-24"
"The hotel was shabby and the doors were rusty. There were stairs just to reach the lobby, and guests staying on the 2nd floor had to haul their luggage up a spiral staircase. My room had a light globe on the dresser; the bedside lamp didn't work. There was construction noise early on Sunday morning. The staff was rude and seemed inconvenienced by guests. I'll never stay here again.2015-10-20"

"The hotel room wasn't clean enough. There was spilled make-up all over the vanity legs. The sofa bed was really a trundle bed, and it was only big enough for a child.

"Despite being a smoke-free motel, the people in the room next to mine smoked and the smoke came into my room. They were fighting until 4:30 AM, but I couldn't call the front desk because the phone in my room didn't work. The carpet was dirty, and the door didn't lock properly.

There are many hotel options throughout the city, including those downtown, near the University of Kentucky, I-75, Rupp Arena and along New Circle Road. The accommodations range from budget to upscale and some offer a variety of amenities from indoor pools and spas to free breakfast and full-service restaurants.
Lexington is famous for horse breeding and racing, and you'll find both the Keeneland and Red Mile Harness racetracks here and The Thoroughbred Center. The Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction where visitors can get a glimpse of a working horse farm, tour the museum, and attend occasional equestrian events.
Though not as well-known, Lexington also has professional theater, ballet companies, an orchestra, and museums.
The city hosts the annual Mayfest Arts Fair each May and the Woodland Arts Fair in August. There are two bluegrass festivals in June, and heritage festivals are held in September.
You can't mention Kentucky without mentioning bourbon, and a number of historic distilleries offer tours. After a day of sightseeing, take a stroll in downtown Lexington, where you'll find shopping and dining with local flavor.
