Lexington getting all booked up for games
LEXINGTON, Ky. — With the World Equestrian Games less than a month away, hotel rooms in Lexington are beginning to get harder to find.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that some hotels are already full, including the 367-room Hilton Lexington Downtown and the 15-room Castle Post.
Rooms are especially hard to come by during the second week of the games.
Emily Lynn, sales and marketing at the Hilton, says that week includes a weekend that also sports horse racing at Keeneland and a University of Kentucky football home game against Auburn.
The last five days of the competition includes finals for popular events and David Lord, director of Lexington's Convention and Visitors Bureau, said he thinks hotels in the area around Lexington will benefit immensely.
