Bed linens nice, bed clean and comfy. Carpet in room filthy, smelled bad. Noisy did get a room change which helped Lobby is beautiful but rooms need updates, a shame because it is a really neat hotel. Front attendant not very friendly, overall a 2/3 rating I would not go back again Sorry. Plus price was higher than elsewhere, could have gotten better for less money. But this hotel looked so cool, very dissapointing.

Stylish historic hotel

We stayed at the Gin when we dropped our son off at W&L. The mattress was average and the electrical outlets are minimal, but the location, style, and hotel bar overlooking downtown more than made up for any deficiencies. We will be back for another bees knees soon.

Nice boutique hotel

Very cute boutique hotel. Small parking behind the hotel so you do have to walk around front, nice staff in the lobby. They offer a grab and go breakfast. Only thing is the outlets in our room at least were not near the bed to plug phones in we had them across the room. But we would stay again, close to shopping and nice restaurants.

Horrible sewer smell so strong in lobby and restaurant floor that it literally gagged me. No outlets near the bed, only one light switch so all lights are either on or off, not very clean, dead bugs behind the bed…I could go on and on…but the total deal breaker is the disgusting sewer smell. I think this place needs to be condemned. I cant believe the serve food in this place.

It WAS a neat old hotel

The hotel was nice and the front desk staff was pleasant (although a little jarring in her appearance). I was very disappointed that the new ownership has erased the Robert E. Lee name from the façade. The room was okay but the bed was rather hard, as were the pillows. The noise from the street wasn’t bad after midnight but at 5am the dumpster truck arrived in the alley and the noise from that interrupted my sleep (to be expected, I guess, when you stay in town). The included breakfast was, shall we say, minimal but not bad overall. I guess it was just a subpar experience for the price, but it is centrally located so the good thing is there’s lots else to do within walking distance of the hotel. Don’t miss Stonewall Jackson’s grave a few blocks away, as well as Robert E. Lee’s memorial at Washington & Lee chapel. Lexington is definitely a town suffering from hanging onto its roots.

Nice hotel but the Orbiz photos are wrong. Front of the hotel no longer has the words Robert E Lee painted on the front. The reason it was booked. Without the words it’s a regular old/charming hotel but missing it’s heritage.
