We stopped randomly on a long drive home. We had no idea it was a colonial mansion or in a quaint college town. We stayed in the Manor House, room 7, and absolutely loved everything about it. Beautiful room with a comfortable sleigh bed and fireplace. The young lady at the front desk was so kind and personable. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the mansion and patiently answered all of our questions about it. She also recommended several local restaurants for dinner, which we very much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!

I am a Hilton Honors rewards member and a repeat guest at this Hilton location, having stayed here multiple times over the years. I continue to choose Hilton because of the consistency, cleanliness, and generally warm hospitality—and this property has typically reflected those standards.
The hotel is always very clean, and most staff members are kind and welcoming. I also appreciated the newer digital TV remote, which was a great update and a nice improvement to the in-room experience.
Unfortunately, this most recent stay was disappointing due to an unresolved temperature issue in our room. We were freezing throughout the night. When the thermostat was set to 80 degrees, the heat would turn on and the room quickly became uncomfortably hot. However, at any setting below 80, the room became freezing cold. This made it impossible to maintain a comfortable temperature.
I contacted the front desk to explain the situation, but the staff member insisted this was not possible due to a cap on the thermometer in each room. Despite calmly explaining what we were experiencing, I felt dismissed and not believed. No apology was offered, which was especially disappointing as a loyal Hilton Honors member and repeat guest.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously. As someone who regularly chooses Hilton and has stayed at this property multiple times, I expect guest concerns to be acknowledged with professionalism and care.

This is not your typical Hampton Inn. It is a hotel with modern comfortable rooms, but with the vibe of a historic colonial manor house that matches the Lexington environment. That is especially true if you opt in to the rooms with a balcony. It is also within reasonable waking distance to downtown restaurants and activities. Will definitely stay again when I'm in the area.

I booked a historic king room to celebrate my husband’s and my anniversary and was very disappointed with our experience. Upon arrival, we were placed in a regular section of the hotel instead of the historic area I specifically reserved. The room was run down and unsanitary, with hair and mold visible in the shower.
When I contacted the front desk, I was told that because I had a dog, I was not allowed to stay in the historic section and that I had supposedly been informed of this by phone in advance. This was not true—had I been told, I would have canceled the reservation. I was then directed to seek a refund through the third-party booking service.
The third party denied the refund, stating they could not reach the hotel after multiple attempts and that there was no recourse.
This was meant to be a special anniversary trip, but instead it was frustrating and upsetting. I would not stay here again and do not recommend this property.
