Horrible customer service checked in didn’t have the rooms that we had reserved. Gave us a room with flooded carpet toilet was leaking when we requested for a different room. Staff became argumentative as well. Had such a horrible experience. We ended up canceling our reservations and leaving that ...

The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The room was clean and the hotel was lovely. Good location with plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was a plus! Parking fees were the only bummer. Had no choice but to pay given the only other option was to park in the street. This was a consequence of staying downtown.
