The staff seemed pretty friendly and was good about letting us know information and details. It does look like they have a bit of construction going on, which is understandable sometimes things need upgrades. The first room we got was no good but the staff was very accommodating in getting us into another. I think the 2 most disappointing things were the pool is temporary closed and there was no fridge in our room. It looked like there was a spot for a fridge.

The AC sounded like a lawn mower engine. The bed was okay, no bugs at least. Staff were nice. Pool was okay. Good budget option if you just need a cheap place to stay.

There was only one staff member plus the manager to assist guests, plus the pool was being maintained, and very little for breakfast, not what was mentioned on the website.

This property also has long term tenants. The tenants were friendly, but the place is over all pretty beat up. The key to the pool was "misplaced" the first night we stayed and not open. The next day, the pool was open. The carpet in our room was sticky everywhere and the room smelled of almost a mold type smell. The air conditioning worked well. Breakfast was ok. They appear short staffed as well. There's a phone at the front desk, the person that is supposed to be at the front desk is cleaning rooms...in the night hours. When checking out, nobody was at the desk, nor answered the call as I stood there attempting for a solid 5 minutes.

I picked this place because it advertised an amazing pool, hot tub and center park with grills and tables. The pool had been closed for months, no full breakfast meal during the week and the toilet in my room didn’t work. The place looks great and has an amazing idea just needs to take better care and not lie on-line. Cheers! B

Lobby was cute. Our room was in need of repair. Looks like they had had a leak and patched but not fix. Still seeing plaster. Floor had some issues. Breakfast was disappointing. Eggs should not have water in them. Neither should the sausage after it’s been cooked. Staff was friendly. It definitely looks like the young couple. There are working very hard to turn the place around.

Pool was out of order and building was under construction im guessing due to the multiple holes in the property, but they all looked cut out like they were in progress of an upgade perhaps? Other than that, pretty basic continental breakfast and very helpful staff.

When I checked into this hotel, I went right to my room. I walked in, visably could confirm the hotel room had not been cleaned. I walked back up to the front desk and told them the problem. They gave me another room, but they no longer had any king rooms. I said I didn't care. The second room was on the second floor, and I was directed to the elevator. I entered the elevator, noticed the nice garden area outside, and the pool room looked good. However, that is where nice ended. Piles of dirty sheets, blankets, and garbage were in the hallway. I then unlocked my room and walked in. The smell of unshowered people and that the room needed a very deep deep cleaning was extremely noticable. I then closed my door, put the deadbolt on and security arm on the door. I believe I was lucky I got that done! Just as I was walking away from the door, I heard the key card beep at my door, and the door unlocked and opened. No knock, just someone trying to open my door quite forcefully. I had been so close to the door, it actually hit me in the forehead. it hit me and cut my forehead. I then pushed the door shut hard, looked out the peephole, and noticed it was the "Manager" who had checked me into my second room. I then asked what he wanted, and he said, "Nevermind." I feel as though I was lucky. I don't feel that it was a misunderstanding or accident. I think I could have been raped or worse, had I not put the security arm on the door. I then grabbed my stuff, and left. DO NOT STAY HERE.

First room had a non-findable cricket in it, and alas no towels. It was actually not a clean room. They moved us to another room. Fridge was dirty. Window was dirty. Floor was non-barefootable, filthy. Sparkly confetti all over the bathroom and long black hairs in tub. The faucet was held on by the base plate jutting into the sink. Without it, the faucet would fall through to the floor. Exterior wall on the inside of the room had crumbling foundation and carpet was pulled back and ripped and peeling up. Outlets were present without covers. Black and red stains on ceiling above the bed. The door also would not lock while we were not in the room, meaning anyone could enter when they wanted. Key card did nothing because the system was down. The outside of hotel is missing siding, weeds all over, peeling paint, and just run down. The South Dakota lodging license on display at front desk expired 12/2025. The front desk laughed and said they knew. Cold AC and comfortable beds though. Would NOT stay again.
