Lexington Griffin Gate Marriott Golf Resort & Spa

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.

Front desk staff at check in were professional but not friendly. They got the job done. Morning front desk staff was much nicer. No/empty conditioner in the shower. Towels are nice. Room was clean. No signage for location of ice machine.

Was an awesome stay, rooms was very clean and Juana from room service did an excellent job keeping fresh towels stocked up for us, bed made, etc. But the all star of my stay was Abbey at the restaurant bar. She recommended the burger which was large and awesome along with beverages, she was very attentive, detail oriented, knowledgeable and friendly. I wish everyone that worked at the Marriott were like this and very well informed. The free bourbon tastings from 4-6 was a cool thing I have never experienced before.
