O happy day! Stayed here years ago and WOW the remodeling has made a dramatic difference. New life has been breathed into what used to be a dark & dreary "seen better days" motel. The rooms have been freshly repainted. Flat screen TV with built-in DVD player, free wifi with great signal strength, mini fridge & micro. We always seek... More

We stayed there over the Fourth of July weekend, 2012. It was a nice enough travel motel, but they have no idea what true 5-star service and quality is. It was just a motel room; nice enough, but not anything 5-star about it.

We stayed here in June 2012. We were in the area for a State Baseball Tournament. We had 13 rooms booked. I can not tell you how incredibly friendly the staff was to our team. They were flexible and on top of every request any of us had. They even checked in with us after each game to see how... More

I rolled into Lamar after making a morning trip to Joplin. While eating a late lunch I decided it was too hot to be on the road. I got the last room available and was not disappointed. I got the Admirals room. The room was very clean. The bed was as comfortable as my sleep number. The towels are big... More

This is an older inn that has been completely remodeled, and somewhat updated. Very clean, very friendly staff, and very soft new bedding. However, I did think it was a bit pricey @ $60, but included a full hot breakfast. Thumbs up.

I stayed here last year in Aug 2010 and have never forgotten this place. It is great! You get breakfast coupons for the restaurant next door, which are good for a full delicious breakfast. The bed is so comfortable, towels are fluffy and soft, very comparable to high end hotels! Wifi works well, frig and microwave also.

I told him that since I had two witnesses, it wasn't a case of he said, she said, and no, I wasn't going to refund his money so go ahead and report it as fraud. The reason one would bother to steal our towels in the first place is that they are 5-star towels, not what you find in the... More

Not a fancy place, but the room was clean and cool and the pool was clean and warm. The bed was super-comfortable; I slept as well as I do at home. The internet worked fine, and for other perks we had both a mini fridge and microwave in the room. The price was a bargain at a little more than... More

We have stayed there a few times when Holiday Inn was booked and it gets worse every time. Broken chairs by the pool or a milk carton to sit on. We had two towels in our room for three people, asked for another and we were told "no" by the clerk ! Breakfast was a stale roll. The non smoking... More
