  • The rooms were old but updated beautifully. Loved the pool and hot tub.
  • We arrived in a snow storm did not want to spend a lot for dinner, but had to get in the car and drive to an Applebees; lighter fare, great price.

“It is an older hotel, but updated. The rooms are small, but very comfortable. The coffee maker is awkward by the TV. Overall, a very beautiful hotel. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to Lexington.”

  • I liked the exercise room and pool. It was convenient and beautiful.
  • Our bathroom was very small. You could barely get in and shut the door.

“This is a very attractive resort that makes the traveler feel extra special. The lobby and facilities are extremely nice, as well as, our room. I was not able to use the Spa, but I would have loved to use it. Very, very nice.”

  • I loved the indoor pool for my kids and the work out room for me. I could watch them through the window while I worked out!
  • The bathroom was a little smaller that most. Hard to move around in it.

“It is a wonderful hotel. We have stayed there before and loved it then. I love the look and the decor of the place. We will definitely go again!”

  • Marriotts are always nice. The Tempurpedic bed with the clean white linens was very comfortable. The pool area is clean, warm and spacious.
  • Because I didn't put a do not disturb sign out and ignored housekeeping when they came, security was sent and nearly busted down the locked door.

“Great hotel. Great restaurant. It was in keeping with Marriott. The hotel is clean and the lobby and common areas are very nice. New furnishings bring the hotel above many others. My only complaint was that I went to rest and when I didn't answer housekeeping because I did not need them, security was sent. They opened my door which was locked from the inside but kept trying to open it by jostling or shaking the door forcefully. I was in bed and began franticly calling the front desk for help only to find they thought they were helping me somehow. After talking to the front desk they said they were just assuring my safety. It was an intrusion and not appreciated at all.”

  • Great Staff! They made us feel special - almost like we were the only ones staying there!

“We will stay here again. We are in the process of moving from Ashland, KY to Newport Beach, CA and needed a few days to get away before all the commotion. I had been wanting to stay here and I it was better than I expected. The entire place was immaculate. We were treated like we were the only ones staying at the hotel by the staff. It was quiet and very enjoyable.”

  • Convenience, price, location.
  • Dirty bathroom hair on the floor and in the bathtub (not mine)!

“This Marriott is usually a very nice place to stay, but I was a little disappointed in the (lack of) cleanliness in the bathroom. That's about the only complaint I have other than Christmas "partiers" running up and down the hallway in the wee hours of the morning talking very loudly and knocking on doors. The hotel cannot help it when people act like that. Just wish we'd have been put on another floor. Unless, of course, they all were housing "partying people.”

  • The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The accommodations were 3 star plus.
  • Sometimes I like to stay downtown.

“With a wonderful golf course, restaurant, and bar, this hotel accommodates the leisure or business traveler. Also, the free airport shuttle makes this location an excellent choice for the traveler who plans to utilize the Bluegrass Airport. So, whether spending the night out of town for fun, or staying for a business event, Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate is a wonderful choice.”

  • I liked the convenience to the freeway. The rooms were quiet, beds were very comfortable. The kids like the weight room and pool.
  • Only 1 restaurant & it was pricey. Not good if you have small children. I saw a lot of empty pizza box's outside the room doors.

“The hotel was wonderful. I imagine it would be a great place to stay if you are there for the horses, as it had a horse decor. It also had carrots in a basket for the taking as you were leaving the hotel. Nice touch. Every one was very friendly and welcoming. I felt like we won the lottery - especially for the small amount we paid to stay there.”
