The room was ok except for the fact that the heater filters have not been cleaned in a very long time, there was dust on the slim headboards and top of the TV. The carpeting was clean. Hair in the bathroom on top of the stool lid and in the bathtub which is terribly stained. Beds were comfortable. Good place to stay if you got dogs unless they bark at noises and traffic.

Nice Hotel

Staff were very friendly and the rooms weee spacious and clean. A quick overnight stay before going to the Black Hills. The Hotel is on the edge of town and it is very quiet even while along the highways will definitely stay here again in the future when visiting or passing through the area.
