Beautiful hotel, extremely clean, great staff. The continental breakfast left a little to be desired, but it got us started for our morning. Super convenient to W&L and VMI. We were in town for a wedding and were able to walk to all locations from the hotel. Would absolutely stay here again!

The Gin Hotel is a must stay again for me. The Gin is a unique hotel in a 100yr old building right in downtown Lexington. It was quiet, clean, safe and all of the staff were awesome. I grew up in the area but haven't returned in a couple of decades. Downtown Lexington has transformed into a great place to walk around, shop, eat and have a few drinks. The only negatives I would give is parking is tight for modern vehicles and the mattress was firmer than my taste... but that's personal preference.

Great location right in the middle of quaint shops and restaurants. Breakfast was minimal but coffee was good. Could have used a better pillow. Overall nice hotel and would stay there again.

Quaint historical hotel in the heart of Lexington. Breakfast was ok. Just bagels, instant oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, coffee and juice. Hotel was clean. Would stay again.

The Gin Hotel is our favorite hotel to stay in when in Lexington. So many great restaurants within walking distance and the Juniper Lounge on the 2nd floor mezzanine of the hotel is a fun spot to get cocktails and delicious food as well!

I would have rated it a 5 except that you had no control of the temperature in the room. We had to call the front desk to get temperature adjustments and that’s just ridiculous in my opinion.
