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.

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

Pool has terrible hours and is not heated. Hot tub is not working. Restaurant has good food and it has a good breakfast. No one is in a hurry to take care of you. I’ve stayed in places half the cost with folks more interested in being helpful.
