We have a daughter playing softball in Lamar and have stayed in different hotels through out this college year. We had never tried the Cow Palace I guess I was thinking it would be too expensive. We decided to go up to Lamar on the spur of the moment last weekend and stayed in a dump the first night, and... more

I’ve traveled all over the world and I think I can safely say the Cow Palace in Lamar, Colorado was the weirdest place I've ever stayed. The strangeness began with the carpeted sidewalk out front, and continued at the front desk, and then throughout the rest of the place.

I hope that the reason the hotel and the room was so dank and dingy was, in part, due to a renovation. If not, this place is in serious decline free-fall. Now, I understand... more

We stopped in Lamar, purely unexpected, and opted for the Cow Palace Inn because it had an indoor pool for the kids. Our room was very nice and very big. The pool area was absolutely lovely and the hot tub was perfect. Best surprise was the buffet at dinner. Friday nights offer an all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet, which we would normally... more
