Historic Cow Palace Inn - Lamar, Colorado

Nice clean outside entrance rooms for reasonable price.
Only part I didn't like about the room was desk was way too tall to use laptop on.
Inside is a grand ballroom with a swimming pool and bar/restaurant. Would be great for a wedding or any other party.
Free breakfast next morning was full continental. Hot and cold choices.
It's a great place and I would gladly stay again but why did they have to paint it the color of cow poop? 🤣😛

I booked a room here when I was traveling through from Texas on January 17th. My room was incredibly clean and well organized. All fixtures and furniture in the room seemed new and in good condition. Very comfortable and great place to stay.

The staff was very friendly both via phone and in person when I checked in. I was also appreciative of the amount/ ease of parking. I came through pulling a trailer and, had no issues getting parked or leaving out the next morning.

Highly recommend staying here on your travels and will definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

Rooms have a strange layout and the kitchen is trying some strange things, but the 24hr front desk is fantastic. Room was clean and bed bug free, large parking lot with extra wide spaces. There's not much in the way of food around unless you want fast food, but aside from that it really wasn't bad.

Under new ownership, it is clear that the conveniently located Historic Cow Palace Inn is in capable hands. My queen bed and the pillows were comfortable and clean. The remodeled bathroom had a spacious shower, and the toilet was in good shape. The nightstands had ample charging ports. Overall the room was comfortable.
The door to my room opened to the interior atrium/restaurant/pool area. This area smelled not of chlorine, but of clean earth. As best I could determine, this space was full of live trees and plants. Sounds from the restaurant area could be heard in the room but only if you concentrated on them. The restaurant, Tavern 1301, is wonderful, but I'll give it it's own review. All the staff were very helpful, quick, and attentive, making the stay a pleasant one. I will check for vacancies here first if my travels carry me through again; hopefully I'll have more time to explore!

Here's why I like the Historic Cow Palace Inn: First, gotta love the name! Screams Welcome to a local place owned by local folks. Second, clean and tidy, and it has INDOOR TREES! NICE! Finally, Tavern 1301, inside the hotel, let's you walk from your room to get a bite to eat and a cold beer. I mean, really, what else do you need when you are on the road?😎

Absolutely fabulous job renovating and making this hotel feel like a 5 star place on the Plains. We stayed in one of the upgrade rooms that has a sitting area as well as the bedroom. Huge. And the bathroom is beyond spectacular. Claw foot tub that is really comfy and a huge shower with multiple heads to give you the shower experience you deserve. The restaurant is also 5 star and wait until you experience the tropical feel from the indoor garden with all beautiful and real plants. There is a nice hot tube and a pool like none other in a hotel. It goes to 11 feet deep! This historic hotel has wide hallways, unique art and a vibe!
Finally, if you are a wedding party, there's a whole wing just for you with a private indoor balcony that overlooks the garden and restaurant area.

Food was always good. You never leave hungry. The waitress didn't check to refill drinks. We always love the jungle environment with the trees and growing plants. Very inviting. We will be back. Love it

I reviewed last year and my review somehow is not here anymore. I had high hopes for this unique hotel but it was a big miss. Rooms smelled like mildew and mold, TV did not work, seemed the bathroom was in the middle of a renovation. I had a first floor room that opened into the restaurant - - not sure why they would design a hotel with rooms two steps from the restaurant as it was loud. They accept dogs but are not dog friendly i.e. there is no safe, grass area for dogs to explore or use the restroom (the Cobblestone hotel next door does though). Bed was comfortable.
