Our stay at the Candlewood Suites on Waller Avenue in Lexington was wonderful from start to finish. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and made check-in quick and welcoming. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained — you can tell housekeeping takes real pride in their work. We also loved the convenience of being within walking distance to several nearby restaurants, which made dining out easy and enjoyable. Overall, a great experience and one we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Lexington

We stayed here for parents weekend for UK. The proximity to campus was super helpful in visiting our college kid and walkable to Kroger field for the football game. My only complaint would be that the room walls are super thin. We could literally hear everything from our neighbors talking to their snoring all night. So if you aren’t a light sleeper, this is a clean, convenient spot to UK campus, otherwise I would look elsewhere.

Thought it was closer to freeway, but rush hour traffic took 1 hour to get to destination.
