The staff were so pleasant and helpful. We had problems with our A/C in the initial room, so they moved us to a vacant PH suite :o Since it was our wedding night, they brought up champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. The only downfall was limited parking :/

The Manchester was magnificent!

Hotel staff are amazing - very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. I had the best stay. The bed was so comfortable. All the extra little touches in the room and the decor were lovely. Would come back to Lexington just for the chance to stay here again!
