4 Star Review By Kristopher Beckner
Our 4-man friend group decided to take a trip this past weekend to Lexington to visit some distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and we booked a 2 night stay at the Griffin Gate. Upon arrival, there was an hour-long delay because they did not book adjoining rooms as we had reserved 2 months prior, the rooms instead were separated by several floors. Ultimately, this was resolved, as the resort comp'd our breakfast the following morning and accommodated us with a third room all on the same floor. The rooms were clean and looked very nice. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. We did not visit the golf course, but admired it from the edge of the hotel grounds, it looked expertly maintained as well. The outdoor and indoor pools were excellent. The outdoor pool was where most of the children seemed to congregate, the indoor pool was mostly vacant during our stay, which was perfect for four adults looking to escape our children for the weekend. We ate lunch and breakfast at the restaurant inside the resort, the fried chicken sandwich was absolutely FANTASTIC and the breakfast buffet was filled with standard breakfast fare, the waffles and sausage were particularly amazing. Overall, this is a great resort at an amazing value. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a great place to stay in Lexington.
