If you want a hotel, the thought out all of the little things from the way you are greeted to the room to the design of each room and so much more. This is the place… This was worth every single dime.

The valet staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our other staff interactions were average. The rooms are quite small, but nicely appointed. There’s an option to have a light breakfast delivered to your door by placing the order on a hook outside your door the night before. We tried it on the morning we were leaving and didn’t receive it. I went downstairs to get it myself and realized they didn’t provide utensils in the bag when I got back to the room. After another trip downstairs, we had what we needed. Good concept, but not the best execution. Overall, not a bad stay, but not good enough to warrant another stay if we visit Lexington again.

Great stay at the Manchester. Beautiful lobby and restaurants and super helpful staff. Despite other reviewers complaining about noise, we found it to be quiet and peaceful (stayed 5 nights). Complimentary coffee was excellent and the many of the food items reasonably priced. A few tweaks might make the stay truly too notch but the hotel exceeded my expectations. Probably the closest thing you’ll get to a SoHo house as you’ll get in Kentucky!

The hotel is very nice; however, be advised that the quad room is SMALL. It’s clean, beautiful, and comfortable, but it is small for a family of four. It’s very narrow and there isn’t much room for walking around or sitting.

Room was tight. Bed was broken down. Extremely uncomfortable. Could not get the room temperature set properly. Parking was horrible. Overall one of the worst stays I’ve ever had. I stay out with my job 50 nights a year. Worst stay of decade for me and my wife.
