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.

Room had very limited space. No electric outlet near bed for medical device. 24" TV. Dated. Boutique hotel that is limited in its appointments. Well maintained for a century's old building.

Might of been better if the room was not across from the kitchen and hearing the door slam all night and early morning. The room was a handicap room (didn’t know when booking) the shower head was waist high. Was not able to adjust the room temp. The hallway lights just poured through the room door.

Lovely!

Charming, lovely. It was a wonderful experience and the staff was wonderful! Would definitely stay again. Our only complaint was that we could hear the adjacent rooms on both sides. Conversations were clearly heard and kept us awake. I was even awakened in the night by someone snoring in the otger room. I don't feel the neighbors were loud either. Just thin walls. I think it is just that it is an older building.

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!

Great location but the hotel itself was a huge disappointment. It is very shabby with stained carpets, linens and chipped furniture. Lack of outlets near the bed for cpap machine and other device chargers was a challenge. Uncomfortable shower situation with just a small glass wall leaving you cold. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
