Home2 Suites by Hilton Lexington Hamburg

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent, as usual! The check-in clerk even remembered me from a previous visit! :) I only had one (minor) complaint for this visit. The microwave that usually is in the breakfast line area wasn't there. Not sure if that's a permanent change or if it's just being replaced. Being able to warm up my breakfast or crisp up my bacon is a nice perk. As I said, it's minor."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lexington South / Hamburg

10/10 Excellent

"This was by far our favorite hotel. We travel every year to Ohio from Georgia and look for nice hotels along the way this is a plus because it is dog friendly and free for dogs beautiful hotel room very modern very clean. The refrigerator even worked and was cold that’s never happened before. We’ll definitely be staying here every year from here on out. Staff was super friendly. Breakfast was great except for no gluten-free options but other than that, A+ plus plus"
