Please Review Our Policies for Your Reservation and Your Stay With Us

Before Your Stay

Requirements

• All guests must be 21 or over.
• We do not allow pets of any size.

Deposit

You must secure your reservation with a deposit:

• One-half of the total amount for your stay; OR
• The full amount if you’re only staying one night.

Cancellations

If you must cancel a reservation, please call us at (502) 813-1137 as soon as possible. Because we only have eight rooms, cancellations have a significant impact on our business, and a last-minute cancellation usually means that we can’t rebook the room. For these reasons, we have a strict cancellation policy.

• All cancellations incur a $30 per room cancellation fee.
• We will refund your deposit less the cancellation fee if you cancel at least 14 days prior to your arrival date (by noon).
• If you cancel less than 14 days prior to your arrival, you forfeit the deposit and you are required to pay the balance.
• Special events such as the St. James Court Art Show, holiday weekends and major conventions require a 30-day cancellation. The cancellation fee is 25 percent of the total reservation.
• The Kentucky Derby has a special cancellation policy clearly outlined in your reservation.
• If you cancel a wedding, you are subject to additional cancellation fees, up to 100 percent of the cost.

Rates, Taxes & Service Charges

• An additional room guest can be accommodated in some suites for a $40 per night charge if arranged in advance.
• While we publish our standard rates on our website for informational purposes, your rate might be higher when you make a reservation if you book a room during a special event, holiday or festival.
• We are required to charge 16 percent in taxes: 6 percent Sales Tax, 1 percent State Transient Room Tax and 9 percent City Tourism Tax.
• We also charge a 3 percent Service Charge to cover credit card processing fees.
