The Dakota

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.

Throw the whole hotel away

Breakfast was okay, Hotel was in Shambles and pool area had old pool pumps just laying around and dirty and hot tub wasnt working sitting full of water and junk in it, room was Dirty and think half the people their lived at the hotel.....terrible

There was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. The breakfast was not good. The pool area was not very clean, especially the stairs to the waterslide.

I have stayed in some pretty bad motels and this one rates right up there. Pictures online are deceptive. Very dirty, room had bugs all around and carpet was filthy. I reserved a suite and that was not a suite. Hot tub shut down and pool was nasty. Don’t waste your time or money. Only good thing was the lady at the front desk when I checked in. People live there full time. I just needed a place to get a few hours sleep in my way to Sturgis.

Quiet rooms Having to switch rooms

good place with bare amenities at decent price

Staff needs to be trained properly on how to do their job. Staff has no customer service skills. Instead of having guest check their room for cleanliness and to see if the key works the staff has the customer do it and just sits at the desk or disappears when needed. I won’t be back to this hotel not worth the money.

Price during the Sioux Empire Fair It wasn't good when we walked in the door to check in and the guy was on his cell phone, and we had to wait for him to get off his phone. The hallways had garbage in them with pool towels throughout the hallways.

Most of the staf was pleasant . Ruded purple haired staff

I called even before I booked the room which was like 4 days before the reservation asking if hot tub and pool were open, and was told yes. That was the the ONLY reason we booked that hotel. Get there pool was Closed. Room smelt bad had to buy a room spray for it. Bed was so uncomfortable I wasn't even able to sleep the entire night. Staff was friendly but other than that I was very unhappy with hotel.

Very good

I start this by saying we were there for 3 nights. When we checked in we noticed there was no bedspread, just a fleece blanket on the bed. The blanket had a stain and appeared dirty. Housekeeping has never been by our room to my knowledge. The beds haven’t been made, or had our towels changed. We haven’t been given new towels, or more towels given to us. The shower goes from hot to cold very fast. The bathroom knob appears to be broken. The vending machines don’t work, we had a problem with our key card second night. The pool was closed just before we checked in because someone had an accident in the pool. Three days later and it still isn’t available. The breakfast was hit and miss. The breakfast on the weekend was alright, but all there was for breakfast during the week was little boxes of cereal, and bagels. The ceilings were very low. There was a door in the room with a lock on it. I believe it was a conjoining room. I think the only good thing was the lady at the front desk. I will not be returning.

nothing the room was cheaply put together the mattress had a table underneath it the room had a smell to it that my pregnant wife didn't care for the title was coming apart it looked like something chewed on the door to the room next to us and we could hear people moving around at all times of the night so not a good night sleep either the air conditioner was set at 60 and it was freezing cold in the room not a great stay at all we won't be back

Passable

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.

Great hotel for the price!! Breakfast was ok!! Clean rooms and good staff

Exceptional

Friendliness of staff Hot tub not working, couldn’t turn on cold water in tub, told them that night and had to remind them the next evening. Breakfast consisted of 2 bagels, variety of cereals and instant oatmeal- Not much there for a person on a low carb diet

It was 1/2 hour late and only cereal, bagels and donuts. No hot food.
