The Days Inn is almost the northernmost building in Lamar, CO, and it has a semi-rural setting next to wooded land surrounding the Arkansas River, along Main Street (US 287/50); rooms have views over the surrounding fields and hills. The place is a typically clean, well managed and affordable establishment, offering facilities of free continental breakfast, an indoor pool/hot tub and a fitness center. All accommodations include a refrigerator and microwave; also available are several types of suite.

Lamar's two storey, interior corridor Super 8 motel sits along Main Street at the north edge of town, near to several other lodges, a gas station, and a small selection of shops & restaurants, though most facilities in town are between 1 and 2 miles south. Rates are low, reflecting the limited amenities, of free continental breakfast and free internet access, but the staff are friendly and the rooms are nice and clean.
