Enjoyed our stay here. Room was big, bed was comfy and breakfast was great. Very quiet with no issues at all. Will definitely stay here again when we are back in Lamar.
Other than having no iron, everything was perfect. Room was clean, staff was friendly and the restaurant was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff was fine, there is no elevator in the hotel! Older people with medical issues are expected to walk the stairs. No mention of the lack of elevator is in any of the advertised information.
This classic property has been brought back to life with dining option great. The Tavern was nice with lots of TVs for sports. With this nice of an indoor area, I was hoping for more than basic continental breakfast.
This was a very unique adorable hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was excellent and the pool and hot tub area were clean. Would definitely stay here again.
Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great.

A Mixed Blessing:
The arrangement in the bathroom was strange--little to no counter space. There was no closet in the suite. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The couch sunk so low that it was a challenge to get up unaided...
Although along a busy highway, our suite was very quiet..
The staff were so pleasant. The food was amazing.
This place is a gem. The rooms are older but huge and comfortable. All of the staff were accommodating. Eat at the restaurant! We’ve been on the road for days and this was easily one of the best meals we had.
Would have given 5 stars, but the restaurant inside is way too expensive for the quality of food you receive. This is my 2nd or 3rd time staying here, it really is a nice place and I'll stay here again. The rooms are very clean and freshly updated. I'm not a fan of the "barn door" style bathroom doors that hotels are going to
It is a beautiful place. It has a tavern and bar connected to it. They have plants and lights where you eat. The staff are great. It is next to a coffeee shop, the highway and a gas station.
