For an inexpensive overnight stop, Casa Lemas was great. The beds were comfortable, the sheets and room clean. We were sad we missed the restaurant (it's closed on Tuesdays) and we left very early Wednesday morning. Great stay!

Not bad for a cheap overnight stay. For the price it was worth it but spend the extra $100 and stay at a nicer place.

Love this place!

This is the kind of Motel I love and they are so hard to find anymore. It has all the old fashioned amenities and is welcoming. I love to be able to park right outside the door take my stuff in. The bed was comfortable and it was very quiet. I just wish they had been open for the restaurant and bar on Tuesday.

Pics are not accurate. Place was filthy, actually didn’t say and found another hotel nearby. Guest check in is the same as the hostess station to the restaurant. When we asked staff how the restaurant was he said “eh it’s ok”. That was before we saw the room. Dusty, filthy carpet, bugs and standing water in the shower!

Clean, being updated. Good food.

This hotel has been consistently improving. Every time we stay you can see updates. The food in the restaurant is good but restaurant is closed Tuesdays and opens later for breakfast.

Great locally owned lodging!

After car trouble in Colorado, we needed a last minute hotel stay on our way home to OK. This was reasonably priced and had good reviews so I jumped on it. They called to confirm the reservation and offered adjoining rooms. The continental breakfast was average, but we were thankful for a quick bite. Very friendly service!
