Stay onsite Saturday 11-8-25. Room 824. No hot water from 6am-10:30am. Called front desk, said they had a full house and were working on it. Unacceptable and will not stay here again. Would not discount/ comp room.

Location is incredible being in the heart of downtown next to Rupp arena. The hotel itself was decent with a small bar in lobby and restaurant. In terms of the room, the shower wasn’t great. The tv was hard to use and needed a reboot. The bed was comfortable though. We did have a hiccup in that the emergency signal went off in middle of the night. Walked down 15 floors to find out nothing was wrong. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

The room was very dirty. There was hair in the shower and a huge bug/beetle on the bathroom floor. The toilet also had gross staining on it. Expected way more out of this hotel.

We stayed at the Hilton Downtown Lexington for our wedding weekend and couldn’t have been happier with our experience! From start to finish, the staff was so kind and accommodating. Bryna was absolutely wonderful to work with—she made the process of setting up our wedding room block easy and stress-free, and even helped us secure adjoining rooms so our bridal party could get ready together.
The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and perfectly located for our guests to enjoy downtown Lexington. Everyone who stayed there had great things to say about their rooms and the service. We’re so grateful to the Hilton team for helping make our wedding weekend run smoothly and feel so special. Highly recommend for any wedding or special event!

Our Son’s wedding was in Lexington the past weekend and The Hilton was our Home away from home for the weekend. The staff was so nice and helpful. We had a block of rooms for the wedding guest and bride and grooms family. Bryna Reed made everything so easy and was very helpful in the planning. The rooms were very nice and clean.
