3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

My husband and I registered at the Roadway and was disappointed that they didn't give any discounts, i.e. AARP, AAA, etc. The price was reasonable though so we took the room. After getting the keys we found out the WIFI was not working and wouldn't be while we were there. I think this is something they should tell you when... More

Our family enjoyed the stay. The service was first rate, the updated rooms and facilities were very warm and comfortable... and the restaurant was enjoyed by all which is sometimes not easy to do with our family. I would highly recommend this hotel.

We picked this hotel because of the pool for our two young boys and the morning continental breakfast while we were staying in Lamar. A week in advance, we received an email saying the pool was closed, but when we called they said they would try to have it ready. We called a total of four times thru the week... More

We were on our way to Texas and stayed the night in Lamar. We went to eat at the Cow Palace. The Waitress was new and did not know the menu. The cook came out of the kitchen and yelled at her in front of us. Our order was incorrect so we asked to have it fixed. When the waitress... More

At one time, like 15 years ago, this was the place to stay in Lamar--granted, that isn't saying much for those who have never been to Lamar. But time has passed, and this place shows it. Rooms were somewhat gross, carpeting inside and outside of room looked like a matted slab of stains upon stains. And it isn't cheap, so... More

As owners of the Cow Palace Inn we are very concerned about the reviews of our Hotel. We have been owners since September of 2011. This was after your visit to the Hotel but we are still very interested in turning around your impression of us. We have done a huge renovation including the hot tub and pool and have... More

I have been to this hotel twice and after the first visit did not even hesitate to stay another night. After 10 days in hotels on this most recent trip it is nice to be in a spacious room with a bed that is comfortable not like a picnic table and pillows that are actually full sized. Good Value and...

The hotel has recently become a Rodeway Inn and it appears they are making some improvements. When we stayed, the pool and hot tub were out of order (and have been since 10/17/11 according to the sign on the counter). Also, the restaurant is closed but it appears they have gutted the kitchen and dining area for renovations. The bar... More

Outside leaves a lot to be desired. Inside is really neat inside garden and pool. Rooms are patio view to inside. My room had very comfortable bed, fridge, and flat screen TV. The bathroom needed updating but I believe they are in the process. For $59, I'd stay again. I'd like to see more cameras for parking area.
