TV kept getting darker and harder to watch during athletic events. No one to change out a newer TV. Offered a different room but we were staying for several days and didn't want to have to move all of our stuff. My wife wished there would be a bath, shower was fine but she likes baths.

Lovely place, but one big issue

I would have rated it a 5 except that you had no control of the temperature in the room. We had to call the front desk to get temperature adjustments and that’s just ridiculous in my opinion.

The Gin Hotel is a must stay again for me. The Gin is a unique hotel in a 100yr old building right in downtown Lexington. It was quiet, clean, safe and all of the staff were awesome. I grew up in the area but haven't returned in a couple of decades. Downtown Lexington has transformed into a great place to walk around, shop, eat and have a few drinks. The only negatives I would give is parking is tight for modern vehicles and the mattress was firmer than my taste... but that's personal preference.

Room had very limited space. No electric outlet near bed for medical device. 24" TV. Dated. Boutique hotel that is limited in its appointments. Well maintained for a century's old building.

Might of been better if the room was not across from the kitchen and hearing the door slam all night and early morning. The room was a handicap room (didn’t know when booking) the shower head was waist high. Was not able to adjust the room temp. The hallway lights just poured through the room door.

Lovely!

Charming, lovely. It was a wonderful experience and the staff was wonderful! Would definitely stay again. Our only complaint was that we could hear the adjacent rooms on both sides. Conversations were clearly heard and kept us awake. I was even awakened in the night by someone snoring in the otger room. I don't feel the neighbors were loud either. Just thin walls. I think it is just that it is an older building.

Beautiful hotel, extremely clean, great staff. The continental breakfast left a little to be desired, but it got us started for our morning. Super convenient to W&L and VMI. We were in town for a wedding and were able to walk to all locations from the hotel. Would absolutely stay here again!
