Awesome historic property! Very comfortable and tasteful art-deco vibe with chic and contemporary conveniences. A must stay location if you’re visiting the Lexington, VA area
Historic hotel in the center of Lexington with character. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable. Room was definitely lacking electrical receptacles and no mini fridge but otherwise quite nice. Lots of dining options nearby.
I was looking for a place to stay for my birthday and found the Gin. Loved the style and history. I also had dinner at the restaurant which was a great experience.
Beautiful historic city. Really enjoyed our stay. Great location. Easy walk to every thing downtown with many restaurants nearby. Recommend the carriage rides. Hotel was fabulous.
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.

The room and the area is very nice, but the beds were a bit uncomfortable. We expected a king or double queen (I can't remember). We fit in a queen together so I don't usually care. But the beds felt like they were full size. I don't know. Maybe I have grown bigger in my old age :) . We enjoyed our walk down Main Street and found a great restaurant called Macado's with fantastic sandwiches and very reasonable prices.
This is a well maintained old hotel. The staff was great

We were surprised when we could NOT CONTROL the temperature in our room. It is controlled by the hotel. They did provide us with a space heater and extra blanket. They list they have breakfast , but it was continental and not a hot breakfast. Otherwise the staff, room, location was excellent!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The bed was comfortable. The rugs are old and worn. There are many shelves that have not been cleaned in a long time. There was dust hanging off the top of the moulding above the bathroom door. I found nuts on the floor. The shower was good. The room badly needs a paint job. Person at the desk was pleasant and helpful.
What a nice surprise this hotel was! We visited the welcome center in Lexington and the nice gentlemen working the counter recommended The Gin. We’re so glad he did, our room was perfect and the restaurant served delicious food. We liked it so much, we booked another night!
Terrific stay at The Gin Hotel! Located in Lexington, VA, the hotel is close to both Washington & Lee and the Virginia Military Institute. The property is very charming with a lot of character. Staff was very welcoming, engaging and helpful. The room was clean and well tended. They offer a free continental breakfast, which is very basic, but was fine for our needs as we are not big breakfast eaters. The property is centrally located in the town and well situated for a walk about this historic town. I was particularly appreciative of the free parking, which was located directly behind the hotel and very convenient. All in all a brief, but great stay at The Gin!
