Well, we rented this room for our daughter and our grandson whom were visiting from Wisconsin. She stopped by our house to get dinner. When she went to check in around 1030 pm the hotel was closed. We tried calling several times and nobody answered our calls. We left a couple of messages and they never called back. Needless to say we are out 200 something dollars and we were not able to stay in the hotel. We had booked a three night stay. We travel enough to know that most hotels hve a person at the front desk after hours. We got several emails from the hotel after we booked it. Neither one of the emails said that check in was only until 9 pm. We had booked clue. We are mad and disappointed. We feel like we were robbed.

It was a fine place to stay, but we had to be patient. When we got to our room was so cold. We had an hour and a half to relax before our evening event. It was so cold in the room that we did not take our coats and gloves off the entire time. We called the front desk and were told it would take time. It did. It would have been nice if that would have been taken care of before we arrived. When we came back 4 hours later it was perfect. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were terrible!

The room had a terrible musty smell. The sheets smelled too and they where yellow. When we told the front desk he just wanted to argue that they clean them everyday. The fridge didnt work until they gave us a power strip to plug in. The halls were nice except the carpet was stained and dirty. The tv was out of date. The wifi was terrible. Breakfast was little to nothing. The front desk guy whom im assuming is the owner was just sitting in a side room everytime i cane down to him and would just sit there until i said something. Its ok for something cheap but not worth what they are charging.

Bad stay at Le Mars Inn and Suites

The man behind the counter was less than friendly right off the bat. The whole place in serious need of work to freshen its appearance. When my wife used the toilet it almost tipped over as it wasn’t’ secured to the floor. The basket for the coffee maker in the room had mold in the bottom so we didn’t use it. Wife had to close the bathroom door to keep the odor from bothering her so she could sleep. The pics posted for Le Mars inn are deceiving. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Thankfully we only stayed one night! Pay the extra and stay at the Holiday Inn!

Absolutely horrible experience. Room was dirty when we checked in, looked as if only the bed was made and nothing else cleaned. Splatters on the floors and walls, broken furniture, 2 types of smoke smell clearly evident. Homeless individuals camped on the back sidewalk, hotel smelled extremely poor. We did not stay the night because it seemed so unsafe and uncleanly. Hotel refused a refund or any alternative solution. Multiple other customers at the front desk having the same issues when we went to the lobby.

When booking we saw the reviews were poor, but it was the only available option, and we thought how bad can it really be?! We checked in (reluctantly) went to the back door of property for entry to access our room. There were homeless people with shopping carts, bbq grill, picnic table stationed right at that entry. The entire hotel reeked of marijuana. The locking mechanism on the back entrance was broken. We returned our key, and the key for our daughters room to the front desk to let them know we did not feel safe and we would not be staying. Asked for a refund and were refused. Also contacted Expedia and they refused to make it right as well. We unfortunately had no choice but to drive over 100 miles to find an alternative. Absolutely Atrocious Facility!

And another couple that we were with on our trip were in their room, and someone walked in on them because the front desk gave them a key for another room that was already occupied also. The rooms were not the cleanest found dirty socks under one of the beds. Hotel floors were dirty the dressers were missing dresser poles the upkeep of the hotel could be better. Lots of holes and drywall in random places in rooms.

Room was clean and quiet...except for the 2:00 am train! (not the hotel's fault) The breakfast was good. The price for the stay was in line with the property and very reasonable.

When I called to inform the hotel that I ran into traffic and was expecting to arrive at 2am, the staff member on the phone (I called around 8pm) told me that because that expected arrival time was after midnight, I should cancel my stay via Orbitz. Utterly ridiculous. I had to speak to another staff member and demand that my protest be communicated to the hotel owner in order to have my reservation honored so I could be admitted to my room at 2am. They committed to hold my room only after I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone pressing for consideration that is entirely common and routine in the hotel industry. My recommendation to ANYONE considering this hotel is to pass. There are national chain hotels in Le Mars — book with them and skip this place for peace of mind.

The picture on Expedia site is old and not a true representation of the hotel in its current state. Strong alcohol smell as you walk in, and throughout the facility. Room linens were less than welcoming, concerned about cleanliness. The bath towels were damp which lead me to think they were just pulled off the pile of previous linens and perhaps not clean. Manager had to go to the hospital which left friends to greet guests, but they could not check in guests. I strongly recommend NOT staying here.

No wifi and a sleepless night

The wifi only worked in select portions of the hotel, and my room wasn’t one of them. I was not given a new room. When I tried to work in a common area the wifi that I was able to connect to finally was terrible anyway. The bed and pillows aren’t very comfortable and the hotel is situated next to a railroad track where trains come by multiple times in the night blaring their horns to jolt me awake even over the sound of the loud AC fan and literally shaking the bed, however the tracks go through the entire town so every hotel in town might have that same issue.

The room was cold when we stepped in - we set the heat and left to go out for the evening. When we returned the room was warm but as the night progressed, it got too hot and the the heater ran constently keeping us up half the night. I think a room should be set and the heater programmed to just turn on the fan occasionally. Otherwise the room was ok. In the winter, something hot for breakfast would be nice like scrambled eggs and sausage.

We stayed another night and realized who was at fault for claiming this hotel had a pool,hotub and gym, the owner was very nice and helpful, but the problem was hotels.com put out misleading info ,after several attempts by the owner to update the info since he bought the hotel,they were very rude on the phone and never answered my email and actually hung upon my boyfriend, the place is pretty clean overall and the bed was super comfortable,the owner did an awesome job of servicing our needs and fed up a very nice breakfast,i wasnt so happy about my first night mainly from the friction with hotels.com but i would definitely stay again,if you book this hotel, give it a chance ,it turned out to be a pretty nice place.
