Charming stay; Definitely will do it again

Room was clean and large. Hotel is very quaint and great atmosphere. Wonderfully easy and nice breakfast. Charming building. The bed was not that comfortable but sometimes that’s a personal preference…. The location downtown is fabulous and there is a balcony restaurant that’s a must. Personnel very nice and rooms are reasonably priced.

Stylish historic hotel

We stayed at the Gin when we dropped our son off at W&L. The mattress was average and the electrical outlets are minimal, but the location, style, and hotel bar overlooking downtown more than made up for any deficiencies. We will be back for another bees knees soon.

At check in and check-out they were very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. There were enough towels for all 4 of us and a great shower.

Love Lexington

Beautiful historic city. Really enjoyed our stay. Great location. Easy walk to every thing downtown with many restaurants nearby. Recommend the carriage rides. Hotel was fabulous.
Vicky, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice boutique hotel

Very cute boutique hotel. Small parking behind the hotel so you do have to walk around front, nice staff in the lobby. They offer a grab and go breakfast. Only thing is the outlets in our room at least were not near the bed to plug phones in we had them across the room. But we would stay again, close to shopping and nice restaurants.

Beautiful hotel. The only downsides (if you can even call them that) is a small tv in the room and lacking in the working power outlet department but we loved our stay and would stay again!
Beautiful view from our room!

What a nice surprise this hotel was! We visited the welcome center in Lexington and the nice gentlemen working the counter recommended The Gin. We’re so glad he did, our room was perfect and the restaurant served delicious food. We liked it so much, we booked another night!
