The most memorable motel experience I've ever had. Opening the door to what felt like the essence…read moreof a giant carton of Marlboro reds was like a warm hug of being greeted back home in central Missouri. Following the greeting, we had the pleasure of an audio session of Jerry Springer for the next six hours. The paper thin walls ensured that we could hear every curse, slur, and slap of the domestic abuse ridden chronicle that unfolded next to us throughout the night. When this chapter came to a close around 4am we thought the night might be over, but luckily Telephone Tammy filled the next hour and a half with her riveting telenovela drama that kept us at the edge of our bed until 5:30am. At the end of our stay, we awoke entertained and refreshed on two hours of sleep, ready to take on the day. Stories of the Owl Haven will surly live on in our family for many years to come!

Offered a senior discount without being asked which I was grateful for since I was unfamiliar with the brand. Hotel was utilitarian not very attractive nor modern - guessing it may have been an old roadside motel before a Best Western. Very clean. Room had comfortable beds and decent linens and sufficient outlets for our appliances and devices. Breakfast offered free.

There could be a lot of improvements. I understand over a year ago a car drove thru a section of…read morethe hotel and broke thru the water main etc. So yes I feel bad that they have had some hardships but they reopened the hotel before they should have. I am handicapped and I need to use an elevator, stairs for me are extremely difficult. Besides trying to carry a bag or two I also need my cane so climbing stairs is hard. We get there and the first thing is we do not have an ADA room and our room is on the second floor and the elevator does not work. My husband wanted to leave but it was after 10 pm and I was exhausted. The gal at the front desk was the only working employee when we got there. Kelly (her name) was trying to sign in so she could print up a receipt and she cannot sign in because she does not have a sign in number, name or whatever. She then has to proceed to call her manager who she manages to wake up from a sound sleep. It makes absolutely no sense to leave an employee alone and not give her the tools to do a good job. She was embarrassed that it took her so long to do something simple. Anyway, Kelly carried my bags upstairs which was very much appreciated. We were at one end of the hallway and I took my ice bucket and came and off I went. I kept seeing the vending sign with the arrow. I finally get to the end and there is another vending sign with an arrow pointing down the stairs. Wow was I . Kelly asked if there was a problem, I explained what happened and she promptly came upstairs and got my ice bucket and she brought me ice. Had it not been for Kelly we would have left. The final straw was wanting to take a shower and I couldn't because I couldn't step over the tub. These problems are the reasons I only gave it 2 stars. If I could give stars for your customer service at the hotel I would have given 5 stars. By the way your coffee in the morning was undrinkable

-- The Staff Deserved Better Coworkers (Specifically: Cleaning Staff)…read more Let me paint you a picture. Sticky carpet. Stained sheets. A towel in the shower that appeared to have been there since the Clinton administration -- stiff, yellow, and aggressively crunchy. Tub with yellow spots. A cigarette burn on the toilet. Wet shower curtains that felt like a dare. Oh, and ants. In the room. A whole situation. The breakfast bar was an act of optimism. No hot food. Minimal fruit. The coffee was so weak it was basically a rumor of coffee -- a vague suggestion that somewhere, at some point, beans had been near water. The pool: closed. Now, here's the twist: the STAFF was wonderful. Warm, helpful, genuinely nice. They are carrying this entire operation on their backs, and they deserve support staff who actually clean things. Bottom line: cute idea for a hotel. Needs a deep clean, a new coffee ratio, pest control, and possibly an exorcism for whatever was in that shower towel.

I have no doubt that this is a 5 star hotel but the fact that we were essentially without water for…read more2 days kinda leaves me unhappy. I thought about giving 3 stars but the situation for the sulfur smelling/tasting water was a mechanical issue that could have happened at any time. To their credit, they were apologetic and provided us with a few bottles of water and a bag of ice. Other than not being able to use the water, the place is great! Very quiet in the rooms. Even when 8-10 trucks and boats left early in the morning for the tournaments, we didn't hear a thing. The rooms are newly remodeled and look great! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay again although I would definitely ask about the water first. Oh, plus they are dog friendly for $10/night which is MUCH cheaper than putting her in a kennel.

It was def an "A-OK" experience in my book for a few reasons: PRO: Located just off the highway so it's suuuper easy to find! CON: Being located right off the highway means there may be some road-noise during your stay. Also in the morning we could hear other guests in the hallway clear as day. Ugh! PRO: A handful of amenities including and outdoor pool and breakfast bar in the morning! CON: The pool is outdoors so if you're there in the winter/early spring you'r out of luck there. The breakfast bar had a variety of options for patrons so you can get a little something in your tummy. Nothing fancy here! PRO: They're pet friendly! CON: They're pet friendly! They means you man hear them throughout the hotel or smell them in your room. PRO: Friendly service/staff! CON: None! Friendly service is always the best! Being from out of town we were given a run down of the amenities and directions (with a map) to several different places to grab a bite and a drink. While Super 8 Lamar wouldn't have been my first choice for lodging - it made for a decent enough place for us to stay and rest our heads after a long day of travel.
