Top University of Kentucky Hotel Reviews

The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Good location"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Lexington Near the University of Kentucky

10/10 Excellent

"Not much to say- clean room, good breakfast, great location for my business"

Residence Inn by Marriott Lexington City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean, and modern hotel. Desk staff was super friendly. Charming little "Convient store" in the lobby. Central location within walking distance of several shops, restaurants, Rupp Arena, and more. Parking lot located underneath was helpful. Only MILD complaints would be the breakfast bar was a little cold and mostly empty by 9:40 even though breakfast is served until 10... and the room was supposed to have a white noise machine but it didn't, and it was very loud until after 1am with people drinking and playing live music at bars around the hotel."
