Get to Know Us

Built in 1962 as the Keydet-General Motel, the KG Motel takes its name from Lexington’s two legendary schools and their mascots. For more than six decades this location has been a home base for alumni, families, road trippers, horse people, and anyone looking for a good place to stay awhile.

Today, we are introducing the reimagined KG, with thoughtfully restored rooms, modern comforts you need, and plenty of character for those seeking an alternative to boring. Think midcentury style, atomically cool details, and a deep appreciation for all things local, from our mattresses and furniture to the snacks in the KG Pantry.
