Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the hotel’s quiet location just outside the city center—close enough to all the action but far enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. The free shuttle to Blue Grass Airport (just 3.1 miles away) is a huge plus for out-of-town fans. With a late 12 PM checkout, you’ll have time to sleep in after a late show. Staff are helpful and happy to assist with directions or local tips, making it easy to get to and from events.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends traveling for a weekend of music and fun
• Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
• Couples turning a concert into a mini getaway
• Fans who prefer a calm, post-concert retreat away from the downtown noise
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for solid value and amenities

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even if it's a late one) with a hot American or buffet breakfast served on-site. While the hotel doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, it’s within easy reach of walkable dining spots and quick bites. You’ll also find coffee and snacks available in the lobby—a plus for those post-show cravings. For more substantial late-night options, nearby eateries and delivery services have you covered.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, it’s just a short ride from downtown Lexington’s bars, lounges, and music venues. Head to the city for a pre-show drink or post-concert celebration, then retreat to your quiet room when you're ready to wind down.

Areas for Improvement
