Blue Top Inn

I rolled into Lamar after making a morning trip to Joplin. While eating a late lunch I decided it was too hot to be on the road. I got the last room available and was not disappointed. I got the Admirals room. The room was very clean. The bed was as comfortable as my sleep number. The towels are big and thick. My room had a microwave and mini fridge. A big plus for me was being able to park in front of my room since I ride a motorcycle. Got a bonus history lesson as the room was decorated with the bios of 3 admirals who had their roots in MO. The lady who checked me in was friendly and helpful. A great value for the price. more

This is my second stay at the Blue Top. I stayed in a regular room this trip. My room was clean and the area outside of my room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The A/C was quiet and worked very well. The room had a fridge, microwave and coffee. The bath had a counter and the larger bars of soap. Outside there were chairs and ashtrays for the smokers. I like being able to park at my door. The room comes with a complimentary breakfast. All for under $50. Military ID is good here. They have wi-fi. The folks at the office were very pleasant. Take the time to look the town over. Go see the square. Go to Harry's birthplace. Yes, I know, Wyatt Earp was here also. But when you take off with money from the town, they don't put up any plaques. more

We stayed here in June 2012. We were in the area for a State Baseball Tournament. We had 13 rooms booked. I can not tell you how incredibly friendly the staff was to our team. They were flexible and on top of every request any of us had. They even checked in with us after each game to see how our team did.\r \r The Luxury rooms were awesome. Each Luxury room has a theme. They were remodeled so nicely. The beds were very comfortable,there were microwaves/fridges in each room and new tvs, and the air conditioning worked great on the hot summer days. They also made figures out of towels so you felt like you were in an expensive hotel! They keep this motel immaculate. The outdoor pool is great. It was big enough for our team to enjoy their downtime in it and not overtake the pool.\r \r I am not sure what the best part of our stay was. The nightly rate was extremely cheap for the type of rooms we had. We have all stayed in more expensive rooms that were not as nice.\r \r Also, we got breakfast each morning at the Denny's across the street. It is owned by the same individuals that own the motel and you will see the same people work at both. They are all very hard workers and still very polite and willing to accomodate in any way they can.\r \r If you get a chance to stay here, please do so. You will not be disappointed. We didn't want to leave and we are trying to find an excuse to go back to the area to stay again. more
