Origin Lexington a Wyndham Hotel

Origin Lexington a Wyndham Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Origin and a very upscale hotel in the Fritz Farm Shopping/Restaurant District. It is well located to many other restaurants and shopping destinations, and being able to walk to Fritz Farm was a great bonus. The room itself was average. There is no closet - only 4 3-prong hooks on the wall when you enter the room with 4 hangers. If you are there for a business trip or more luxurious event know there won't be much room for hanging clothes. The bathroom has a barn door and ours was peeling on the inner edge at the bottom, so each time you opened or closed the door, it scratched and squealed along the floor. The shower amenities were average but always nice to have. The front desk servers were extremely pleasant, polite and helpful. We didn't eat there but the bar/restaurant was being used on a regular basis while we stayed there. It is more expensive than others in the area but the convenience of the location and Fritz Farm Shopping/Restaurants is wonderful."
