Nice boutique hotel

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.

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.

The Gin Hotel is a beautifully refurbished "Grand" Hotel in a small Virginia town. Located on Main Street in downtown Lexington, it is two blocks from Washington and Lee University and five blocks from the Virginia Military Institute. Lexington's Main Street has been reinventing itself each year over the fifty-five years since I graduated from W&L and it is now populated with unique shops, craft stores and restaurants. The hotel is quiet, clean and well maintained. Unlike when I was in Lexington in the late 1960s, the town is ringed with the usual collection of mid-level hotel chains. These are all fine hotels but ones like these can be found in virtually every town in the US. Staying in historic downtown Lexington (for the same price) is so much more fun!

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!

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!
