We had a quick trip to Lexington to visit UK for our daughter. From check in to check out, our experience was enjoyable. The front desk staff young lady that checked us in was so personable and knowledgeable. She gave great recommemdation for things to do and dinner, as well as some tidbits about being an UK student. Overall great time and will definitely stay here again.
