Never again

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 The tv was out of date.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!
