The staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, I was not satisfied with the hotel’s location, and the view was disappointing. Given the high price, the hotel did not provide added value, such as complimentary breakfast.

The Manchester was a great experience. Its location is ideal. Unfortunately my stay was brief, checked in late and slept until right before checkout. I can only speak to the comfort of the rooms, which was excellent, and the courteousness of staff, also excellent. The atmosphere and ambiance are unique and well worth the stay. I regret that I cannot speak to the dining and bar. I can say with certainty that upon a return trip to Lexington I would gladly choose this hotel again.

Room was clean and very nice. One thing we were not happy about is when we checked out we got an additional charge for almost $40. It was different taxes, but they also charged about $15 a day for the amenities. That include included the Jim the shuttle, water in the room, then the coffee. You get charged that if you use it or not.

The hotel was very nice with a nice atmosphere when you entered the lobby. Nice area with a bar and seating area. The room was nicely decorated and was comfortable. Could hear the people next door talking and music thumping from the rooftop bar in the evening. Walls are pretty thin there! Overall the atmosphere and overall experience was good and I would more than likely return.
