Was in Lamar for a quick overnight trip and we landed on the Holiday Inn Express. Clearly this venue had just been updated and it was a nice treat. Lobby was well organized and newly decorated with comfy seats and an easy to access "business center". The lobby also serves as the continental breakfast seating area. Speaking of, I was wowed by the continental breakfast-lots to offer and was continually stocked. From eggs to pancakes to sausage and cereals, they had it all ready to go! The rooms were newly updated as well with new mattress and newly installed wardrobe and desk. The couch/sitting area was also a nice addition. Bathroom tub/shower seem to be working on still. Outdated facet and shower head with the tub having lots of scratches. Nothing unclean, just clearly a work in progress.Heating and A/C worked well in the room as both were needed! Check in was quick, once a staff member showed to check in the line of guests. Check out process was a breeze. Staff were extremely nice and welcoming. If I'm in the Lamar area again, I will happily stay here. Thank you! read more

Thank you Veronica for letting me check in an hour early so I could grab a shower before a meeting. The flight attendant on my flight in to Colorado Springs had the main cabin on roast. I think she had Celsius and Fahrenheit confused. The bottom line is, if you're staying in Colorado, just stay here. This place is top notch. read more

This was our first stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Lamar, Colorado. WOW!!! Great stay!!! When we arrived and checked in we met Susie at the front desk. She had a very pleasant personality and we knew that our stay was going to be fabulous!!! The lobby area had a very pleasing ambience and everything was very clean and organized. We particularly noticed the new bean grinder coffee machines that are being installed in many of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites hotels. Nothing like a very nice cup of coffee after a long day on the road. We also met two other staff members, Anna and Veronica, that were equally pleasant and cared about making our stay as memorable as possible - we will be back. The warm cinnamon rolls in the morning breakfast bar were an enjoyable way to get back on the road for the last day before we arrive home. Give the Lamar Holiday Inn Express & Suites a try - you will not be disappointed. Make your reservations early as they fill up!!! read more

Clean room. Well appointed. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Nice breakfast with lots of choices.

Best Hotel in Lamar! I've stayed in various hotels in the area and HIE is the best for comfort, cleanliness, facility and best breakfast. The customer service at the front counter was lacking, could improve in being more helpful. The kitchen staff, Travis, was awesome in getting the food filled up early for the morning crowd. Five stars for his helpfulness!!! Overall my goto hotel. read more

Absolutely love staying here. We arrived about 8 pm and the girl at the registration desk was AMAZING. She was very kind, informative and very anxious to have us be safe and comfortable. She also makes DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. I DEFINITELY recommend this hotel to stay at. I think the prices have significantly increased but if staff like the girls that assisted us tonight reap higher wages I definitely am in favor. read more

OK people ignore all those reviews from years ago. This place has been thoroughly modernized and updated! Very friendly check in late last night even though the front desk clerk was dealing with a guy who apparently had run out of credit on his card and was frustrated. She took care of all the rest of us while she was still working with him and was very polite. I walked into our room expecting what I had seen on the yelp reviews, but we reserved for here anyway because there was nearby parking for our big rig. Walked in the bedroom, and I was absolutely shocked at how beautiful and new and clean it is. I think the only thing that might be older than brand new is the refrigerator which even though it had a little ding in it was in perfect working order. Huge new TV, very comfortable beds with enough pillows to choose your size and comfort level. The shower was hot and great pressure. Heat worked great too. I highly recommend this place! And they give a military discount! The 76 just south has the best fuel prices, and Lucy's further south has the best Mexican food, OBTW. read more

What a great clean hotel! We stayed here for 2 nights. Had a suite room for our adult kids that slept 4 adults & a baby & got a king room for my husband & myself. The suite was spacious & had enough room for everyone. The sofa sleeper beds always aren't the most comfortable so I wish these mattresses were upgraded. My husband & I had more than enough room in the king bed room. The pool wasn't too crowded although they ran out of pool towels & the chlorine was strong. Breakfast was the typical hot breakfast but was still good. BONUS: the warm chocolate chip cookies they had in the lobby every day! Would definitely stay here again if we are back in Lamar read more

I don't know why this place only gets 3 stars? This was one of the nicest Holiday Inns I've stayed at in a long time, and I've stayed in them all over the country! The beds were clean and comfortable and it was really quiet. The doors shut softly which was a wonderful bonus. So many times people just let the doors close and they slam with a loud bang. The front desk girl was super friendly and efficient. And another plus was the parking lot. Lots of space for parking! read more

Perfectly adequate carbon copy of every other. Decent carbon copy breakfast setup. Clean and attractive and convenient. Wouldn't want to stay more than a few nights, but don't at all regret staying here one. Uninspired but does the job. read more

We booked a suite for two nights. We arrived at the hotel and the swimming pool was closed for maintenance. Many of the guests were there for a kids swim meet... the pool being closed and the lack of notification was a huge disappointment. Our suite was small. The TVs were terrible. One of them needed to be handled directly at the TV, both had issues with the remotes. When we went downstairs to ask for assistance, we were given new batteries and directed to "point the remote toward the TV". Seriously?! The employee ended up coming to our room and showing us that basically we needed to handle the TV from the TV itself. Wow. Breakfast was very good. Staff at breakfast was very helpful. Don't know that we will return to this hotel. Overall disappointed. read more

This place is nice it is clean and it is affordable. But most of all the people are amazing. So friendly and helpful I recommend this place and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. read more

I couldn't believe the treatment we received upon check in. We checked in close to 8pm. We were not acknowledged as a platinum members and we weren't offered the choice of either the points or amenities. I wasn't even told the points were just credited to the account. The woman handed the keys and told me where the room was and when breakfast was served. She looked like she wanted to get back to talking with her friends. There was a dirty counter where coffee was stationed. The floors werenot cleaned by coffee counter either. There was a big coffee stain from where someone spilled it on the floor and it was never wiped up. There was no 'clean smell' I'm used to from all of the other Holiday Inn's I've stayed at. No matter where we put the inner shower liner, water leaked all over the floor. The shower tray that holds the shampoo, conditioner and body wash came loose in my hand. There was a bill shoved under my door when I woke up. Worst holiday inn express and suites I've ever stayed at. read more

For a small town they do a decent job. Continental breakfast is always fair, clean rooms, friendly staff. We had a strange experience in the parking lot last time and the threat was the front desk lady's boyfriend. I don't think she works here anymore...however we were not compensated for the issue. It's still probably the best bet as far as accommodations and cleanliness for the town. read more

The evening staff is friendly, however, they have made multiple mistakes with my stays on different occasions over the last few months. The gentleman last night even admitted he almost gave away my room. Rooms are comfy and clean and A/C works amazing! Everytime I've stayed here though the maids try and come in around 9am checkout day. Very annoying. It's a small hotel so be ready to squeeze around tight corners especially as you bring in and out luggage. read more

This is one of the best Holiday Inns I've stayed at! Everything seemed to be in great shape and very clean! Comfortable beds and good pillows! Every room has a mini fridge with a freezer compartment that actually froze the cold packs we brought! Breakfast was good with actual veggie omelettes and real scrambled eggs! A few more choices would've been nice (no waffles, just a pushbutton pancake dispenser) but the cinnamon rolls, muffins and variety of fruits and yogurt were good! I was excited to see 6 different coffee dispensers until I realized that 3 were House Blend and 3 were House Blend Decaf... it was pretty good coffee though and there was a nice selection of teas! The staff all seemed very nice and helpful! Definitely a good spot and a great value! read more

New property and good place to stay in the area, albeit I think this is the most expensive motel in the city. Room was roomy and comfortable, and also had a mini fridge and microwave. Service was fine and when we needed extra towels, they were brought up to our room very quickly. There is a complimentary continental breakfast that was fine and there was plenty of room to sit and eat. read more

We had a wonderful stay at this Holiday Inn location while on vacation a few weeks ago. The rooms are comfy, clean, and pretty spacious. The front desk associates are really kind and accommodating. They serve breakfast in the mornings for free and had a lot of variety which was nice. Also the gym, pool, and hot tub are really nice and clean as well. Overall we were very satisfied and next time we are in the area we'll definitely stay here again. read more

This place is so horrible. I stayed here for a month on business. The staff is flat out rude. There is dog poop around the entire facility. They over charged my card 3 times!! One time they charged me $98 for a pet cleaning fee and I didn't even have a pet. They keep the refrigerator in the lobby so cold that when you try to get milk in the morning they are all frozen. I report it to them to be nice, I return a week later and they are all still frozen. They just do not give a shit here. I am debating going and peeing in their pool as I write this. If you are stuck in Lamar, CO try the Rodeway Inn. They just remodeled and have a really nice bar. They are friendly and considerate as well. PS. Internet does not work. I have to connect to the Days Inn. read more

Don't stay here if you want your hotel to follow Covid safety procedures. I stayed for a week while on a business trip. I was checked in by a young man wearing a mesh mask. I complained to the manager and absolutely nothing was done. I saw him wearing the exact same mask the entire week I was there. I also caught him and another employee behind the front desk with no mask on at all several times throughout my stay. Another young female employee had her mask on with her nose hanging out. They made zero attempt to enforce the mask mandate among their guest either. People congregated in large groups in the lobby and breakfast room with no masks on. Their lack of concern for the health of their guests and employees was very disturbing. I also wasn't impressed with the state of my room upon check in. It was rather grimy and I doubt it had been disinfected. I had one half roll of toilet paper in the entire room, and the canisters in the shower containing shampoo and body wash were empty. No small bottles were provided. This is without a doubt the worst Holiday Inn Express I've ever stayed in. I'm disappointed because I'll be in this area often for work. I won't be staying here again. read more

It's a newer, grime-free hotel in a tiny town. Pricey for the area... but it has free wifi, breakfast, and chewy cookies on arrival. Subway, Sonic, and Hickory House BBQ are within walking distance. Head north about 45 minutes to see the location of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. read more

My bias is showing. I dislike HIE because most of them are cheaply built and as a result noisy, worse than average. I stayed here two nights to collect points for a potential stay in a better hotel in this group of chains. The room was unusually quiet until about 5 am, when the usual early morning wakeups woke me up: showers, people in the hall, engines in the parking lot. The coffee at the breakfast bar was the worst ever. The room was well furnished (i.e., newer) but dark decor and the lighting didn't compensate. I travel mostly government rate so that was fairly standard for price. Would I stay again? Yes because of the group of hotels for which I am collecting points. At this end, there are better options. read more

The hotel seems very new. The rooms are immaculate w/ a great bed. I had a large suite w/ a king size bed. It rivals many Hilton's I stay at. Really. Microwave, coffee, fridge, sofa sleeper x2 TV's, hair dryer, shampoo, soaps, ironing board, etc.. The service out front was great as well. Very clean facility. Money well spent. read more

The two most important requirements when I stay in any hotel/motel is a comfortable bed and a quite, restful environment. At Holiday Inn Express in Lamar, CO the bed was very comfortable and the property was clean and seemed well maintained. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. But housekeeping was much too spotty for a Holiday Inn Express. Wrapped food and drink had been left in the frig, for one thing. And just remember to check the bathroom to be sure there is a shower curtain, because hubby didn't do that until almost midnight (and there wasn't one!). WE complained to the desk in the morning and were given a small reduction in our bill, which was nice, but corporate should be sure they step up their game in Lamar so as not to damage the overall image of their brand. read more

We were in town for a Baseball Tournament and our 2 teams stayed at the HIE. We had a fantastic experience! The hotel staff....Veronica, Oscar and Marco were extremely accommodating. There were issues, of course, but they were resolved quickly. For example, our fridge stopped working so they replaced it. No towels in the pool area? Just ask the front desk! Our room was very clean and comfortable. For a small town experience, this hotel exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was Fantastic! Wifi was great! Friendly staff! read more

I'm not sure that the HVAC was working until around 4:30 in the morning. The room was muggy. Moreover, the food at the breakfast was subpar except the Chobani yogurt and bacon...but then again, can you go wrong with bacon?!? The juice was watered down but the coffee (the nectar of the gods) was excellent as usual. read more

Stayed here for two nights. Don't let the clean appearance fool you! I woke up the second morning and found two bed bugs on my sheets. After informing the front desk, and leaving, I received a call saying they would have their general manager call me later that day...I never heard from anyone again. read more

The owner and/or manager of this business is dishonest. I was charged for a night for which I never stayed in the hotel. The cancellation policy says to cancel by 6 p.m. and I was unable to get through to the front desk after many attempts to cancel in time AND the Holiday Day Inn website (IHG) was completely down so I could not cancel online. I was finally able to get my call through to cancel but it was passed the 6 p.m. deadline. I have screenshots of both the call attempts and the error message from the crashed website and yet I was still charged the full amount. The responsibility maintain a working website is Holiday Inn's and that they should have refunded me. read more

Horrible internet and RUDE staff! I and about 8 co workers have been staying here for months for work. They constantly over charge cards! Beware! Rooms and breakfast are very nice. read more

Great service, modern rooms and tasty breakfast... The have a pancake maker that is CRAZY FUN!

Perfect for a quick over night stay. After a long hard day full of traffic we stopped here and we were able to have our dog with us for a small extra fee. The staff was super nice and accommodating! Clean too! read more

I stayed here during a road trip with my dog. I chose the hotel because it was the only nice and pet friendly one about where I needed to stop. Being in a small town, with few other options around, I kept my expectations reasonable, and they were met. I added an extra star because of their pet policy. I was traveling with my 85 lb dog, and was pleased that they did not care about the size or breed of my dog, and also had a VERY reasonable pet fee of only $15, whereas I have seen pet fees as high as $75-115. I checked in rather late at night and was afforded quick service so I could get to my room and get to bed. There were cookies in the lobby and the front desk attendant told me we could also have late night pancakes as well, which would have been very much appreciated if we hadn't already eaten dinner. The breakfast spread in the morning was very nice. There were several healthy to-go options of oatmeal and yogurt that I could have easily eaten in the car. Other more hearty options included eggs, turkey and pork sausage, and wide assortment of breakfast breads. Overall the stay was nice and I would stay again. Great stopping point for a road travel. read more

Such a great hotel, the rooms are clean the breakfast is good! I really enjoyed the pancakes! The staff is also very helpful and kind. There is a Walmart and some other stores near which is a awesome thing! Overall I would recommend this to you! read more

Very good option in Lamar. Clean and new and friendly service.

Nice hotel. Clean and comfortable. Loved the lemon water and cookies in the lobby. Nice touch. I'd stay here again

Very nice staff and clean rooms. Don't plan on working on the Internet, it was off line more than on. This is a pet friendly hotel. I do have to say the owners of those pets need to show some respect and clean up after their dogs. GROW UP!!!! read more

Best place to stay in a 100 miles radius. And I travel for a living, so that is saying something. The hotel is new and the staff is friendly and willing to help, no matter what the request. My only complaint is that the breakfast is not healthy at all. It's the typical processed, fat-laden breakfast that a healthy person would never eat. So bring your own fruit because they only have bananas and apples. read more

Always drive the extra 30+ miles from La Juanta to stay at the Lamar Holiday Inn. The Lamar facility is very nice. The bed was super!
