Better than home!

Have you ever stayed somewhere and it was so nice, I spent time looking for something that was wrong with it? So the one and only thing I found that wasn’t 100%, the pillows on the bed! Yes that is the only thing I found not up to par. The room was mind blowing lowing, the service was out of this world, the location was great, the amenities were more than I ever needed, and the two bars! I don’t have a reason to be back in Lexington, Kentucky anytime soon, but I would drive up just to stay at the Manchester again! Great job to all the staff.

A Derby Weekend Spot

This boutique style hotel did not disappoint! The impeccable decor and attentive staff, day or night, were exactly what our nonstop holiday required! As someone who would absolutely return to this hotel, I would encourage anyone looking to share a room with family or friends to inquire about room size. Again, just a gem of a hotel!
Sunset from the hotels amazing rooftop bar, restaurant, lounge.

Staying here for a weekend away and The Manchester was superb. The bed was extra comfortable as well as the pillows. The scent of the room was pleasant, the room and bathroom were both very clean and well stocked.

Experience Lexington In Southern Luxury!

Staying at the Manchester was a delight from the moment we arrived until we left. When we arrived the staff were not just courteous, they were attentive and prepared. They went the extra mile. Every single employee smiled and engaged with us in a way that exemplified their job satisfaction, nay their job bliss. The hotels decor was unique in a way that made it stand out and I appreciated the intricate details in the wall tiles, the room decor, and bathroom shower (I’m 6’7” and a bodybuilder so having a massive shower I fit in with my fiancée, Stacie, to shower is not found often). Another nice touch is they have bicycles you can rent. Date idea for couples staying here, rent the bikes and tour downtown Lexington. Stacie and I did that on the first night and we rode for at least an hour. Our stay could not have been more pleasant or enjoyable. Thank you Manchester team!!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort
In a hotel you want three things - clean, comfortable and quiet. Manchester is clean and comfortable. However, if you have a room with a door to an adjoining room you can hear everything in the other room. There is no insulation for the sound, Basically you have another roommate. It makes for a rough night sleep.
