Liked: Staff & service
The bed and pillows were comfortable but the rooms were pretty outdated. Cheap upgrades on an old hotel. Woke up to a giant cricket in the bathroom. The breakfast was subpar. We did eat dinner in the restaurant and it was very good. All in all it was fine but doesn’t compete with nicer hotels.

We rolled in to good parking and a nice room. The restaurant and bar downstairs were really handy, not too expensive, good food. The free breakfast was an actual meal, more than just the typical. Nice people. I'd happily stay here again.

My stay was very good overall. The rooms and property were clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly, and I had a good experience at the bar for a drink and dinner. My only complaint is that the pool heater was broken so it was ice cold and unfortunately, they no longer had a working hot tub.

We needed a last-minute hotel room after our previous hotel overbooked. The staff here was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. We didn't really use any amenities because it was a late travel trip and we were even farther behind after spending time looking for a hotel but worth it for the friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely stay here again if ever in the area.

The hotel is a unique, fun stay. The room needs some more attention as it was clean but our tub didn’t have a plug. (We used a family member’s room to give our young child a bath.) The breakfast was okay. They had sausage, biscuits & gravy, country potatoes, yogurt, and a few pastries. They advertised French toast but didn’t have it. They also didn’t refill pastries so it’s better to get up early.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay the restaurant in the hotel. The food was really good and they have a well stocked bar. And the continental breakfast sure helps in the morning get your day going. The staff was very helpful and gave us clean towels for each day. We stayed there, which was very important. We stayed a week we went to Lamar to visit with our new great grandchild, which was very cool in itself Definitely would recommend staying there to anybody that is staying in Lamar, Colorado
