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!

Do not stay at any price

Hotels.com really needs to research these hotels. This was the worst place to stay. No locks on entry doors or even our room, fire detector covered in plastic bag, towels dirty and bed was a 6in foam mattress.

Fine place for the price. Pleasant service, although my wake-up call was not made. Not much for breakfast. Can of pop for $2 is way too high. Wish the outside doors were locked, since a homeless guy was hanging out when I got back around 10 p.m.
