CHECK-IN
Check-in time begins at 3:00 p.m. The Lyndon House will hold Guest’s reservations until 6pm on the date of arrival. After 6 pm the room will be release for resale, unless the guest made arrangements for a late checkin.
CHECK-OUT
Check-out time is 12:00 noon - because our housekeepers must have time to prepare the rooms for the next guests who check in at 3:00 p.m.
EARLY CHECK-OUT
Should a guest check out before their scheduled departure date they are still responsible for the cost of the entire reservation.
LATE CHECK-OUT
Unless previous arrangements have been made with the Innkeeper a $50 fee will be charged for late check-outs between 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. Check-outs after 1:00 p.m. will incur another night's rent - because our housekeepers must have time to prepare the rooms for the next guests.
PREMIUM SEASONAL EVENTS
These Events include the Keeneland Race Meets (Thur.-Sat. in April & Oct.), the Rolex Three-Day Events (last weekend in April), and the Kentucky Derby (1st weekend in May).
Other Policies
CHILDREN
Children are welcome at the Lyndon House; however, prior arrangements with the Innkeeper are required. A twin roll-away bed is available upon request at no charge.
EXTRA PERSON FEE
Each room is designed to accommodate 2 persons comfortably. To include a third adult in the same room an Extra Person Fee of $75 per night will be charged during regular business days - and $100 Extra Person Fee will be charged per night during the previously described Special Equestrian Events.
PETS
Pets are are welcome at the Lyndon House and should be safe since the backyard is enclosed. However, prior arrangements with the Innkeeper are required - and a $35 pet fee will be charged per stay. Naturally, we ask our guests to clean up any pet deposits made in the back yard - and to keep their pets out of the raised flower beds. Charges for damages to the rooms will be assessed on an individual basis.
GIFT CERTIFICATES
Gift certificates are available and can be purchased by the night, by the Specials package, or by a dollar amount.
PARKING
Lyndon House is located about five blocks from the center of downtown Lexington which places our guests near a wide variety of restaurants and interesting activities - but our location also means that parking can be an issue. However, there is free onsite parking for five cars in the rear of the Lyndon House along Brent Alley - and right down the Alley (100 ft.) there is ample on-street public parking on historic Fayette Park, which is also free.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Charges for property damages will be assessed on an individual basis.
NO SMOKING
The Lyndon House is most definitely a smoke-free environment. In fact, a $250 cleaning fee will be charged for smoking in a guest room because the smell permeates the furnishings.
SUB-LETTING
A guest shall not sub-let or grant any license to use the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Innkeeper.
