Went to Lexington to escape from Derby Madness. The place was clean and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

The location is perfect!!! I was booking for Move-Out at UKY. I booked the 2 bdrm for an extra mom prior to moving out, then one extra night with my son. The extra bdrm is perfect. The space has a nice floor plan with many having nice views & plenty of sunlight.

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience with a local Lexington property, 175 LEX.Due to a canceled flight, we were unable to make our original stay and contacted the property to request a change of dates. They agreed to move our reservation to this coming weekend. Despite that agreement, we were still charged for the original stay—which never took place—and now, after multiple attempts to contact them, they have been completely unresponsive to our requests to confirm the updated reservation.At this point, we have been charged for a stay we never used and have no confirmation that they are honoring the rescheduled dates they agreed to.The lack of communication, professionalism, and customer service has been extremely disappointing. I wanted to share our experience so other customers can be cautious when making lodging arrangements in Lexington.

Terrible — the host (Chris Wirth) cancelled our reservation on the day of arrival (Feb 28, 2026) after the 3 PM check-in time, around 4 PM.We never received the 2 PM message the host later claimed to have sent. Nothing appeared on the booking platform or directly to us. The first message we actually received came just before 4 PM, an hour after check-in time. Shortly after, the reservation was cancelled on the platform by Rachel without any explanation. I immediately replied that we were already on our way and even added another credit card to resolve any potential issue, but no one responded.What makes this even more confusing is that we had already received confirmations beforehand: trip cancellation protection on Feb 19 and a full booking confirmation with access codes and instructions for 175 LEX on Feb 26. If there had been a payment issue, it’s hard to understand why no one contacted us until the day of arrival, when we were obviously already traveling.We only saw the messages around 7 PM when we stopped in Cincinnati and had to scramble to find a place to stay that night. Traveling with a newborn and a dog made finding last-minute accommodations esp. difficult, and we couldn’t reach Chris by phone or Rachel through the platform.Even stranger, we booked two other properties on VRBO that same day using the same credit card and both payments went through without any issues. So cancelling last minute, lying about when contacting us, made this a terrible, untrustworthy experience.I also texted him this all on March 9 after we got home, but he didn't respond. Once the review showed up on the VRBO website, he did respond within a day.When I texted to call him out on this, he responded gaslighting and blame-shifting – denying his own actions, accusing me of “How often are you playing the victim?”, and rewriting the timeline despite the documented message history. Rather than address the issue or own a mistake (because we all make mistakes), he deflected responsibility and made it personal to avoid accountability.

We were guests of Lex 175 while attending a wedding at Mane on Main. The accommodations were stellar with the warmest hospitality at every turn. The hosts communicated regularly and made our extended weekend memorable. We will be back!
