"People were absolutely awesome at the Good Place B&B. I felt so welcomed during my entire stay, from checking in to check in out and every breakfast in between, which were great and delicious by the way. A great place to spend a few days away in nature, but a close drive to many historic locations and natural attractions in the area. The rooms amenities could use some improvement (new towels and linen come to mind). Other than that, I would definitely stay here again. "

"Very nice place. Helpful staff. Very close to everything. Nice grounds."

Holiday Inn Express Lexington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! Parking and check in were a breeze. The staff is super friendly. There are EV charging stations in the back of the parking lot which was convenient. The building is new and clean and well maintained. Beds were super comfy, room temp was perfect. I love that there are hard floors in the rooms and nothing smells musty or damp or smoky like some other places I’ve stayed. It was super clean and comfortable. The hotel was quiet and I love that I didn’t smell any weed anywhere on the premises (that can be rare these days). The bathrooms are so nice with quality shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The coffee was good and I’m picky about coffee. My only small criticism is about the breakfast. The sausage patties were kind of cold and rubbery and the eggs were cold and more like egg powder crumbs, obviously fake eggs that someone didn’t know how to prepare well. There were bagels and cereal which were fine, and also a pancake maker which we didn’t try. The oatmeal was good. But overall breakfast was a disappointment compared with the quality of the hotel and the rest of the stay. We would stay again because the most important things to me are cleanliness, comfort, air quality, and service and all of those were 10/10. I also liked that there were people enjoying the main lobby area in the evening, playing pool and other games and there were nice individual study/work areas as well. I would just say to consider improving the hot food items at breakfast!"
