The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Not a good guest experience I normally do not write bad reviews but had to in this case. My husband and I were so disappointed with this hotel. Beautiful old building close to downtown and historic district. But, when we walked through the door, there was an overwhelming smell of a dirty restroom. It was so strong that I thought there must have been an accident that they recently cleaned. Nope. The smell remained for our entire 2-day stay. Thankfully, we could not smell it in our terribly ridiculously located first-floor room - adjacent to the toilets AND across from the hotel bar/restaurant. We asked to change rooms but were told that guests who extended their stay got 'our' room. But, as Diamond Members (Hilton) - as we were informed - we were able to have a credit at the snack bar. Seriously? The hotel staff were not professional. They were inappropriately dressed in very casual clothing (sweatpants and sweatshirts) and sat behind the front desk on their iPhones. They couldn't even be bothered to greet us as we walked in or out of the hotel lobby. Not a good guest experience. Breakfast was late, coffee at breakfast was cold, and music was blasting in the hallways at 6am. They also charged for parking. I would NEVER stay here again. Reviews said it was in a more convenient location than the Hilton Downtown. But, when exploring on foot, they are only a few blocks away from each other. So, my advice - stay at the Hilton Downtown (particularly if you are a Hilton Honors member and want to stay at a Hilton property).

great place to stay if you want to be downtown If you want to stay in Historic Lexington, I recommend the Sire. If you are not familiar with Downtown Lexington (which we were not), it is filled with corporate headquarters, large businesses and hotels. To support this there are many restaurants and bars, but basically no type of stores or shops. As you could imagine the streets are busy and challenging parking. The Sire is located about 2 blocks from the main strip and has very secure private parking at $8 per day. Knowing our car is safe is important to me, and there is no reason to drive as many bars and restaurants are easy walking distance, The Hotel is very nice, clean and safe. While the web contradicts itself, morning breakfast is included at no charge and is more than adequate to start the day with. The staff were all super friendly and helpful Being from out of state, we found overall Kentucky to be a very friendly state!

Nice The hotel is centrally located to shopping , entertainment and restaurants. Easy walking distance to everything. The hotel Itself is very nice. Clean and quiet. The hotel breakfast was decent also. Lots of different choices There is a bar at night.

Sire Hotel Lexington Location is wonderful. First room I was given, rm 320 had huge rattling noise from ac in room. As I am here for almost 2 weeks I requested a change. Moved to room 302. Room clean. Bed is tired with sides of bed collapsing and very center of bed a wall or mountain. Requested in writing to front desk/housekeeping to change or rotate mattress. That has not occurred or it has and the solution did not fix the problem. Room has one chair, small table, king bed with bed tables on either side. Might be cramped for 2 unless one is always in the bed. Lighting is yellow energy saving. Enough outlets built into clock or dresser but one available wall outlet in room and then two in bathroom. Room spotless, service everyday. Hot water in shower. Breakfast adequate:eggs, bacon or sausage, bagels, toast, oatmeal (add water but again water lukewarm) milk, juice, packaged cake or muffin. Coffee and tea service just warm. I noticed refrigerated surface for cold things warms considerably later in the am. I agree the staff sit behind a large monitor in front room. It is disconcerting as they do not rise to greet you or invite you to sit down. They do not acknowledge you as you walk in. You cannot see them. The woman who checked me in was wonderful, but she sat behind the monitor quite low as I stood. She graciously changed my room when I called down to say I thought her ac was working very hard and rattling, and brought me the key. Depending on who is at the front desk the phone is answered if you have a question, such as laundry services. Cleaning staff very pleasant. One wants to love this place. The ac has been consistently mentioned in reviews as has staff tucked behind monitor. Beds need to be updated. Room is otherwise quiet-depending on the room, great location, breakfast food basic, go early. In evenings has bar with bar food which is pleasant. Le Deauville next door good for dinner. Lunch is more difficult to find in immediate area, there is a sandwich place and Doodles Breakfast and Lunch. If bed was comfortable it could be a great stay in room 302. If they really took past reviews to heart the Sire would be 5 star.

Perfect little gem of a hotel Can't say enough good things about this lovely little hotel. Room large, simply but well appointed, and quiet as a church, even though right on the corner. Giant, fluffy towels and fragrant shower amenities in the big bathroom. Soft, comfy robes. Big soft chair and table by the window for reading and writing. Delicious cocktails in the evenings at the handsome bar, and yummy complimentary breakfast in the mornings. Staff warm, friendly, helpful. Free parking in adjacent, safe lot. Great location, whether you want to explore downtown on foot or head for the countryside by car. Just minutes from just about anything you want to do.
