Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lamar

There is nothing wrong with this hotel. Our room was clean, and everything worked. There was plenty of parking. The breakfast was okay. Sometimes the front desk was left unstaffed, which we found odd. People should be aware that the place is expensive for what it is. This may be because there are no competing Marriott, Hilton, or Best Western hotels for miles in any direction.

We spent the night here on our way to Montana. I used points for our room but, as points go, I thought it was very reasonable. When we checked in Sunday, the young lady at the desk wasn’t the most friendly but she gave me my keys which was the most important thing, I asked her about restaurants that might be open on a Sunday evening. She told me about La Mission and said that was about it. (That is, other than fast food.) I asked her if it was good and she said it was. I realize that is a matter of opinion but let me just say I wish I’d gone to McDonalds instead. (Separate review of La Mission has been submitted.) There is plenty of parking at the motel which is good since we’re driving a 16’ truck. Our room was very nice. Spacious, clean, a sitting area, USB ports and plugs everywhere and TVs both for the sitting are and the bed. The bed was comfortable and we slept like rocks. There was a safe, a small refrigerator and a full-size ironing board and an iron. Breakfast was good. Lots of choices. Omelets, bacon, potatoes, cereal, yogurt, juice, coffee, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, bagels, bread, etc… Anyone should be able to find something they like! When I checked out Monday morning, that clerk was much more friendly. She explained the charges that hit my card, why it happened and that they would be reversed. All in all, glad we stayed there and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. There are not a lot non-fast-food dining options in town but, other than Sunday night, you should be able to find something. And there’s always Mickey Ds.

We arrived in Lamar. Hotel was easy to find. Don’t let the location deter you. This is an industrial area. the street had a lot of trucks zooming by and some trucks going to the industrial park. Has I previously said don’t the area deter you from staying his hotel. This was one of the better Holiday Inn Express hotel we have ever stayed at. The staff is very courteous and responsive . Rooms were in excellent shape. Clean, everything works, and the beds were very comfortable. Very quiet rooms, even with the heavy traffic on the road beside the hotel. The wireless connection was good, but the room we stayed had an actual cat 5 connection for my work computer. If your travel plan include visiting Dodge city and heading to Colorado, check this hotel out. It is really a high-quality Holiday Inn express.

Perfectly adequate stay overall. Kind of a poor first impression walking in and waiting several minutes for someone to be at the desk, but great after that. I stayed in one of the extra space rooms with the sofa and coffee table, which was nice to have. Very clean and generally in good shape. The renovation work going on downstairs wasn’t a bother at all for me. The usual HIE breakfast spread if you’re into that. Right on brand and what you expect

Our son was stranded in Lamar due to a bus breakdown. We drove to Lamar to meet him, staff was friendly and helpful (truly understand customer service). Room spotless beds comfortable, breakfast great, especially the warm cinnamon rolls. Even though the room was in my name, our son was able to check in first. Online description and photos were accurate. Highly recommend. About a half an hour east of Lamar is the site of the Ameche Interment Camp where Japanese-Americans were unjustly interred during WWII. Worth a visit.

This is the best hotel in Lamar. We like it because its always clean, rooms are pristine clean and all the necessary toiletries are provided enough so you don't have to carry anything except your toothbrush/paste. Beds, pillows and lining are always fresh and very comfortable. Love the hot and plenty of variety complimentary breakfast. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The parking might be an issue if you check in very late.

We had a King suite on the top floor. The room was updated and very clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was all enclosed (sink inside bathroom) and very well lit. The wifi worked great. There were 2 big screen TVs, a fridge(no freezer), and microwave. The hotel was conveniently located right off the hwy, but we heard no noise. The pool and hot tub were clean. We didn't see anything in need of repair. The staff was welcoming, cheerful, and all seemed to be enjoying their jobs which is rare to see these days. The breakfast had lots of hot items, and was very good! Check in and check out went smoothly. Oh, and they had cookies in the lobby in the afternoon and evening :) We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is old and needs cleaned and maintenanced. Screens are ripped and hanging from the outside windows, rooms smelled like wet dog, blinds in room were broken, water smelled of rotten eggs, garbage in hallway stacked up, hallways smelled of bad body oder. couldn’t wait to leave! Definitely not worth $180 for a King suite.

Shower and sink drains both drained very slowly. Ice machine on our floor was out of order. Had to go up two flights for ice. We were told the card we reserved with did not work, gave another card and then get home to find the first card DID work. We are waiting to see if both cards were charged. Hallway carpets were littered where paint had peeled from the walls. Someone on our floor had a dog that barked frequently... pretty annoying! The breakfast area was clean and well-stocked. And the bed of course was comfortable. We like Holiday Inn beds.
