Decent hotel

My wife and I had a pretty decent stay. It was a busy weekend, there was a wedding on both days we stayed so there was more foot traffic than what we normally would like. Other than the weddings we did have an issue with the shower drain not draining properly, which caused us an inconvenience. Overall it was still a decent stay.

Don’t expect much

We booked a room with balcony and when we arrived, the hotel told me there were none available. In room TV had a Netflix button, but it wasn’t working and I told the front desk every day twice to check on it for the first 3 days of our stay and then I gave up.

My go to fav hotel visiting lex area

This hotel is my new favorite when I visit Lexington area. It’s conveniently located but yet it’s tucked away on a beautiful golf course setting. Everything you need is there including socks, shirts coffee - you name it. recently they’re on business. I was able to sit down their beautiful lobby with a cup of coffee and enjoy this peaceful atmosphere. Edifyone.com

My husband and I chose the Marriott based off of the website stating the property was a quiet relaxing environment. To our surprise that was far from the truth! The staff allowed hotel guests to set up Karaoke equipment in the lobby equipped with disco lights that could be heard in our room on the 4th floor. This fit in well with the rest of the environment that reminded us of a dive bar where guest were freely using the lobby areas as a gathering point to continue their late night partying alcohol and all. These individuals paid no attention to small children around with the level of cussing that occurred. The staff did nothing to quiet this or disrupt the gathering even after myself and other guests complained to the assistant GM. There were giant dead cockroaches in the men’s restroom off the lobby. We ended up checking out a day early and losing the cost of the night. We couldn’t take it anymore. I wouldn’t suggest this hotel for a relaxing getaway at all. However, if your looking for a party atmosphere the Marriott is for you!
