Jean-FrançoisFranceNous pourrions y revenir.
Piscine sympa, calme le soir, parking devant la chambre, ménage tous les jours et serviettes de piscine ou de plage disponibles à la réception.
Lors du check in, la réception nous a tout d’abord attribué une chambre…
CynthiaUnited Statesmaybe I can get a discount cause I go so often that would be amazing and that would be really cool or a free dinner
thought I’d feel like I’m on vacation when I get a poolside room I live in the town, but I still go there. The bar food is amazing.
nothing really much I liked it

What we’d check for you here

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Lemon Tree Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Lemon Tree Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lemon Tree Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Lemon Tree Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Lemon Tree Inn have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Lemon Tree Inn?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Lemon Tree Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Lemon Tree Inn?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Lemon Tree Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Lemon Tree Inn?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Lemon Tree Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
