I have been to the Radisson many times over the years while visiting Lexington. I have also stayed at many of the other hotels. I prefer the Radisson because it is a fantastic location right in the middle of downtown. You look out of your room and can see Triangle Park and the city's horizon. You can walk via covered walkway to shopping across the street at the Lexington Center and the Victorian Square. At night the trees and fountain are lit up and there is often a horse-drawn carriage tour of downtown that leaves from right at your doorstep. The hotel itself hasn't changed much over the years. The hot tub/pool area/exercise room have been updated, as has the main lobby. It is really great to relax at the pool looking at the stars through the skylight. There are a lot of business conventions held there so often you have the pool area to yourselves. The rooms themelves are nice--just what you'd expect. The beds are nice, though I can't say I was overly excited about the Sleep Number Beds (I guess you'd need to sleep on it for a while to find just the right number). For the best value, get a room on the Plaza Club level that includes happy hour/snacks/continental breakfast and a private little sitting area with a large plasma TV. For visiting Lexington, this is a nice, comfortable, safe place to stay.

Just okay - I think a little pricy for the quality. Nice downtown location but had to pay extra for valet parking. Rooms very small and plain. I much prefer the Hilton Suites at the Lexington Green, and we have found the Hyatt which is next door a much better value.

I Pulled in on a Saturday, checked out on Monday.

The hotel room was fine. The "dial a number" bed (basically a remote control on the inflatable mattress) was pretty cool. I turned it all the way firm and slept well. If da wife was along she would have liked having *control* on her side of the bed too! The bed was an interesting concept.

Shower was fine. I'm over 6' tall and this shower head was well above me. Water pressure was good. It was kind of funny that the top of the shower curtain was only nose high on me. No fridge. TV with HBO. No game room (I'm a Golden Tee Golf fan).

The outstanding aspect was the downtown location. Nothing was more than about 15 minutes drive even beyond the outerbelt. The downtown historic walk was safe and interesting (took about 2 hours at a leisurely stroll). Triangle park, which was right out the hotel's front door is beautiful, day or night.

*Lots* of interesting shopping, night spots, Rupp Arena, within walking distance. Fish and Chips at Desha's are wonderful. Food at Alfafa was good, but very slow service the night I was there.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights this past weekend. I booked the rooms through priceline for $45 a night. We asked for a king non smoking and a baby bed on a high floor.. We got a room on the 15th floor and the crib was set up for us when we got there. The service was good. The location is wonderful with all the pedways you can go anywhere downtown with protection from the elements very stroller friendly. We walked everywhere. The parking is secure and always free which is surprising considering you normally pay $20 a day at most of the other hotels in a downtown setting. The rooms were on the smaller side and we did some rearranging of the furniture for the crib, but they are larger than most you will find in Europe. The bedding was hotel stripe duvet and shams. I didn't care for the sleep number bed but I'm used to Tempurpedic. The toiletries were good quality if you needed them. The bathrooms were adequate. The room wasn't dirty and the wall paper wasn't stripped.. For the price/location it couldn't be beat.
