The location is convenient if you’re traveling because it is literally right off the highway, but it’s also tucked into a bit of an industrial park so that was a little surprising. Very close to downtown Lexington, which was great. The humidity was high, and unfortunately, it was high in the room as well, so everything felt damp, including the bedding, which was a little uncomfortable, but otherwise it was a fine place to stay for the night.
