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.
Unique and fun hotel. Room was spacious and nicely decorated. We had the room with the overlook patio. I wish we would have had time to use the pool and hot tub. The breakfast was good.
Very helpful pleasant staff.
Excellent plentiful breakfast, though could use more & better pastries.
The hotel is showing some age, but seems well maintained.
Loved all the big (huge) tropical plants in the center hall.
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.
We ate dinner in the restaurant and breakfast in the breakfast room. In both cases, the staff was attentive and the food was delicious. We will DEFINITELY stay there again.
Spacious clean rooms and bathroom. The bathroom is huge, but the vanity is small. The room was at the top of the stairs which made me a little nervous about noise, but it was very quiet.
Such an eclectic hotel! Beds were comfortable, restaurant was good. Only negative was that our room didn’t have a closet to hang up our clothes. Other than that, nice big room and we’ll stay there again the next time we’re in town.
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
We stayed in one of the business suites. The room was so nice! We loved how it just felt like home. The soak in the tube was perfect after a long day! We did make it to breakfast a little late at about 9:15 and not a lot was left of eggs and such. We were told breakfast was until 10. We would 100% stay again!!!
Enjoyed our stay here. Room was big, bed was comfy and breakfast was great. Very quiet with no issues at all. Will definitely stay here again when we are back in Lamar.
Danica was a pleasure to deal with at check-in. She showed us where to go for breakfast, and offered to help us with our luggage (no elevator here but signs say they are coming soon). Ate at the restaurant (which is in an awesome setting) Friday evening - food was awesome - our waitress was as well. This will be our go-to stop in Lamar!
