The Gin Hotel is a must stay again for me. The Gin is a unique hotel in a 100yr old building right in downtown Lexington. It was quiet, clean, safe and all of the staff were awesome. I grew up in the area but haven't returned in a couple of decades. Downtown Lexington has transformed into a great place to walk around, shop, eat and have a few drinks. The only negatives I would give is parking is tight for modern vehicles and the mattress was firmer than my taste... but that's personal preference.

Room had very limited space. No electric outlet near bed for medical device. 24" TV. Dated. Boutique hotel that is limited in its appointments. Well maintained for a century's old building.

Beautiful hotel, extremely clean, great staff. The continental breakfast left a little to be desired, but it got us started for our morning. Super convenient to W&L and VMI. We were in town for a wedding and were able to walk to all locations from the hotel. Would absolutely stay here again!

Might of been better if the room was not across from the kitchen and hearing the door slam all night and early morning. The room was a handicap room (didn’t know when booking) the shower head was waist high. Was not able to adjust the room temp. The hallway lights just poured through the room door.

Great location right in the heart of historic district with walkable restaurants and shops. Hotel a bit dated and no frills but bed and room comfortable, sheets and towels fine. Photos make it look better than it was but I would come back for the location and ease. Not great for small kids and walls not sound proof.

This is the former Robert E Lee hotel, which is what it still says above the door, making it a bit hard to find. The staff is friendly and the lobby is pretty. The rooms are a bit worse for wear — brown carpet on the floor and felt a bit in need to renovation. But the bathroom was redone very nicely and the room was clean. Very convenient to W&L and all the shops downtown.
