It got the job done, but cleanliness left something to be desired both inside and outside the room. Pros: comfortable bed, decent shower. Cons: the room floor clearing hadn't been vacuumed as I continually step on small chucks of "something" and the overall condition of the hotel did not warrant the price of the room Also, the front desk staffed seemed annoyed that I asked a couple of basic questions like where on the hotel map the room was and if there were any other entry doors closer to the room. Would not stay here again.

Very disappointing that the pool was out of order and a luke warm hot tube is not a substitute when you have children under 12. No signage for this issue at check in desk. Also do power strips for appliances meet SD electrical code? I assume its been many years since the governor actually stayed in this place.

Fire extinguishers wet padlocked. Pool was closed. Hot tub jets didn’t work. A new guy was there as the “fixer.” He has his work cut out. All the workers at the front desk were super nice and apologetic.

Very overpriced for an old building and outdated rooms, all the “amenities” were closed and from what i gathered from one of the staff it’s always that way. No screens in the windows, the heating/AC what incredibly loud and kinda smelled when running.

We have stayed for nearly a week each year since 2022 while working near town. Rooms are good & clean, although some show wear. Breakfast options are above average. This year they actually did some room cleaning daily.

We chose this property because it had good reviews, overall an 8. We were looking for a safe, clean place for our family. The clientele were less than put together, the room had used tissues and energy drink cans in the pull out bed, stains on the pull out mattress, stains on pillows, a hole in the door in the bedroom, burned out lightbulbs, and a red heat lamp bulb in the bathroom (?). Additionally, the hot breakfast (eggs and sausage) were both cold (1st thing in the morning) and there was not any decaf coffee in the breakfast area.
