I stay at the Cow Palace every year in November when I go hunting out that way. And my expectations, while never high, are generally met. Rooms are ok, staff is ok, things are clean, and things work. Not this time. The Wi-Fi wasn’t present in my room. No signal whatsoever. The refrigerator was not,nor would it get, cold. I stayed two nights and adjusted it both ways, so I’m pretty sure it was broke. The timer on the heat lamp wouldn’t shut off the light either. All this was pretty minor compared to the fact that the tub would not drain while you’re taking a shower. Take a 10 min shower and you got dirty water past your ankles. Kinda icky. Like I said before. Been staying there going on 12 years, but not any longer. There is hotel across the street with a nice green sign that looks nice

Pictures posted are deceiving. The place is falling apart. I walked in to register and the place was full of smoke. The desk attendant stated their vent in the kitchen decided to stop working. I was placed in the back outside far corner. Stairs up to 2nd floor are of direpair and could be a tripping hazard. 3/4 of the lights are not working. Upon entering the building in the morning for breakfast, I walked into the building from a different door. Doing this the carpet is old! Curled/dirty and unsafe for someone that is not steady on their feet. I noted there were large bowls throughout area on the floor. I am guessing it is to collect water dripping from roof. The place smells of mold. I was offered coffee from a coffee bar and the carafe looked as if it had not been washed in months. Gross!

The room had an odor. Perhaps there had been a water leak because it smelled musty. It would have been better to have not used that room. It seemed there were plenty of rooms available. Other than that it was very fine.

I had stayed at this motel several years ago and had a good experience. This time.....not so much. I arrived a mere fifteen minutes before check out and was told I would have to wait, so I did. The person checking me in was not friendly, nor was she pleasant. She left before informing me that the rollaway bed I requested 3 weeks ago was not available, and passed me off to another employee because it was time for her to go. The next person to assist me was pleasant and respectful, and was able to confirm the rollaway was not available but he was not sure why. The television did not work properly so he had to eventually come to my room and at least get it to work somewhat, although the volume buttons did not work properly. The smoke detector was hanging from the ceiling and not operating. The doors from the outside to the pool were propped open from the time we arrived until the time we left so were not secure. The flies around the pool area were horrible. The staff (except for the first one) were all just young people trying to do their jobs, and I really appreciated that. The place is in disrepair so I'm gathering an owner or management issue. On a good note, the breakfast was very good. I am very disappointed, I reserved the room 2 months in advance, and would have cancelled had I known the rollaway was not available. I don't think I will ever stay here again.

You get what you pay for
I should have read the reviews before choosing this hotel but I didn't have a lot of money. I guess the saying you get what you pay for is true. There were stains on the carpet, the carpet had holes in it, the lampshade had holes in it, tiles were missing in the bathroom, and there were brown smudge stains in the bathroom. When I went to check in I didn't realize I was 7 minutes early due to the time change. The guy at the front desk asked me to leave and return in 10-15 minutes. What kind of service is that??? He could have at least offered to let me sit in the lobby but to ask me to leave all together? Next time I will pay the extra money to stay at the Holiday Inn.

I used to stay at the Cow Palace exclusively when in Lamar but it became so worn out and dirty I did not want to deal with it anymore and started staying other places. This time I had no alternative but to book the Cow Palace and, even though Rodeway Inn has taken over the property, they have made no changes to spiff up the place. Just take a look at the carpet throughout the building, check out the carpet in the rooms--filthy, falling away from the baseboards; stains on the bathroom door, etc. C'mon Choice Hotels---you can do better than this!!! The staff is lovely and very helpful; it must be difficult for them to try to sell the place when there have been no improvements for years.

It was the worst place we have ever stayed. It was filthy and said it was user construction, but construction would have been better than the way it is now. Our door would not lock and waited half hour and no one cou,d fix it they moved us to another room but no elavator and not offer to help us with the bags. Ice machine would not operating so they went somewhere else to get ice. The carpets were so dirty that you had to keep shoes on at all times. There were 2 toads under the ice machine that did not work. It was cheaper but there was no,way it was worth the money.

This is an old hotel and it shows its age. Room was absolutely hot, even with the thermostat set on high fan and cool - so hot when my wife couldn't sleep. Shower curtain rod was loose and felt like it was going to come off the wall...
