It was a good experience for us & nice to see a small town making a business like that work.
Pros:

The breakfast was delicious & breakfast area very nice. We also had something to eat at the bar the night before which was great. We’ve never stayed
in Lakota before but the experience was well worth it. We also liked the small town atmosphere. The people of the community were very friendly.

Cons:

There wasn’t anything that we didn’t like.

Pros:

While the rooms were clean, the structure shows signs of water leakage in the walls. It needs some major renovation. The ad on Expedia says registration is open till 11pm. I sent a mail thru Expedia twice indicating I was a late arrival, after 9:30pm. When we arrived door was locked! Bar was open and bartender found our keys and immediately shut down the bar. If we had arrived 10 minutes later we would not have had a place to sleep as it’s the only motel within 30 miles.

Over charged. Partially refund only.
Cons:

Over charged. Got charged for 3 nights. Got refunded 1 night. Still charged for an additional night that I didn't stay. Was told I'm b3ing charg3d due to markers marked on the sheets while the room they told me was wrong.

Pros:

Property has great potential, but it definitely needs new furnishings!
Staff was pleasant, though. Breakfast area was attractive, but the rest needs help.

Pros:

It took three people to help check us in….. which seems overboard. We came back one night around Midnight and the front door was locked…? No answer on the phone. Luckily back door was open, would’ve been nice to tell your guests as I had to call the Sunlac in Devils Lake. Rooms are decent enough.. nothing fancy. Bartender was rude at the restaurant/bar that was attached.

Absolutely not good and we will not be using this establishment again.
Pros:

Location is excellent. The weather was way better this year for duck hunting. The bed was comfortable especially after hunting all day and getting up early everyday.

Cons:

No fan in the bathroom, ac/heat unit is loud and inconsistent, door would not shut unless you slammed it, TV programming was poor and difficult to navigate. The restaurant had an all you can eat ribs on Friday night and are whole hunting party ordered ribs and drinks. BUT only five got served and one was forgotten until the waitress asked if anybody wanted more ribs, so she went to get the one forgotten meal but was informed the kitchen was out of ribs. SO the five who ordered all you can eat ribs (mind you the first helping was 4 ribs only) never got more ribs and the left out diner had to order something else. Sadly all of us were charged full price for the all you can eat ribs and there was no apology or any concern about the situation. Because of this and the substandard breakfast the following morning we did not spend another dollar at the SunLac dining facilities and never will again because we will not be staying there anymore after almost 20 years of staying there.

Better than my car…
Pros:

The bathroom had no ventilation. The beds were advertised as queens but were more like full. It was hard but I’ve slept on harder. It was only for one night so it was better than sleeping in the car.

Dont fall for it. Will work in an emergency
Pros:

That the prices weren't inflated like in grand forks for the ZB concert

Cons:

The "P" trap under the sink in the bathroom was broken and allowed the sink to drain onto the floor. The beds were twins, not queens, and the bathtub constantly drips.

Pros:

We made our reservation thru expedia and when we checked in and went to our room, someone was in it! We went back to the front desk and told the guy working. He went and checked to rooms and they were not clean. He went to check on a 3rd room and then said it was ok. We opened the door and it was obvious that it was not cleaned. He just pulled the bed spreads back up. The sheets were not changed, we garbages were not emptied and the bathroom was not clean. We left and did not go back. Money lost. We were not staying there! Shame on them.
