Days Inn By Wyndham Lexington Southeast

“A small, simple, quiet oasis along the never-ending I-75.”

We only stayed one night, but for an affordable, quick bed close to the interstate, it was perfect. It was clean and very close to the exit, which was a pleasant surprise.

We only stayed one night, but for an affordable, quick bed close to the interstate, it was perfect. It was clean and very close to the exit, which was a pleasant surprise. We needed a place to sleep while on our way to view the 2024 eclipse in the totality zone in Indiana. Heading further into Lexington to a larger hotel, we found this place last minute and booked it online. We got a great deal, were able to shower and sleep. The amenities at the other place would have been a waste on us with our time constraints. Mamaw paid for it, and check-in was seamless, even though I used a third-party site. The only issue was the required $100 deposit when paying with a card. I've encountered this with cash but not with a card, and while I understand the need for this safeguard, it was unexpected. I want others to be aware of this. Credit cards are exempt, but cash and debit cards are not. We had the funds, so it wasn't a problem, but if it had been, I assume the refund from a third-party site would take a few days, and we wouldn't have had the means to secure another room elsewhere. It bothered my Mamaw more than me, but since this trip was quite last-minute, I made sure we had enough in case of such situations. I do wish the third-party site had mentioned the deposit requirement. To clarify, everything was fine, we had the deposit, and it was returned to us promptly after a quick room check, which was completed before we even returned to the office. We weren't delayed, and the process was painless. Another minor point: I was certain I had booked a non-smoking room, but we were given a smoking one. My Mamaw covered most of the cost, and my husband paid the rest, so he might have selected a smoking room since we vape. However, I intended to vape outside so our son could have a non-smoking environment. Regardless of whether it was a mistake or my husband's choice, we only stayed for 11 hours, and the room was exceptionally clean; I couldn't even detect smoke, despite my sensitivity to it. Apart from that, the staff were quite accommodating. It was busy due to, what I assume to be, other eclipse travelers and while we asked for a later checkout the night before the night staff could not authorize this and asked us to call in the morning. This means it was last minuet for them, but they still allowed us what they could, and extra half hour, and this helped my aged Mamaw, who was sore from the drive, and my toddler who appreciated the extra time to stretch out. I booked this night on a 3rd party site, and it went smoothly despite the issues 3rd party can bring. If I made any errors booking, they were resolved before they became an issue and I appreciate that. It was a nice stay.
