Top South Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Lewis and Clark Resort

8/10 Good

"Facilities are nothing special, paint over spray on shower, trim. Towels must be 10 yrs old or older, but clean. Just not anything special."

Haven by the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"My children and grandchildren enjoyed the stay. Grandchildren wanted to know when they could come back to stay again. They especially loved watching the turkeys and even got close enough to get a picture of a young buck deer."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Yankton by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, room was clean and nicely decorated. Bed was super comfy. They had a nice happy hour with free beer and wine which was a nice touch. I missed the breakfast because I slept in. It was hard to do because the maids were a little aggressive to clean the room in the morning, knocking on the door at 8 am and again at 9 am. I would stay there again but would hang a do not disturb tag on the door."
