Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lexington

Cozy, Budget-Friendly Stay Minutes from the Music

Modern and practical, the Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lexington offers a clean, comfortable base just 15 minutes from downtown Lexington and the University of Kentucky. With free Wi-Fi, complimentary parking, and a free continental breakfast, it’s an ideal spot for concert-goers who want convenience without the high price tag.
Rooms feature a cozy window seat (perfect for post-show relaxation), cable TV with extended channels, and essentials like a hairdryer. Select rooms include a work desk, and there’s also a public computer station in the lobby for any last-minute ticket check-ins or ride shares.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a smart pick for music fans heading to shows at Rupp Arena or the Lexington Convention Center—both just a quick 10-minute drive away. It’s far enough from the noise of downtown to offer a peaceful night’s rest after the encore, but close enough that you won’t spend your night stuck in traffic. With a 24-hour front desk and easy highway access, late arrivals and departures are a breeze.
