Bad need of repair!
Pros:

The price and the staff was very friendly!

Cons:

Facility is in bad need of updating. We were on the first floor and we kept hearing cars and outside noise very loudly. My husband went over and pulled back the curtains and the window was open. The lock on the window was broken off. It appears someone might have been coming in from the outside. The sheer had a tear in it about a foot and a half long. We called the front desk and they only had a room upstairs. My husband is having health problems right now, so we didn't want to move upstairs since you don't have an elevator. Also, a bad odor was coming from the air conditioner.

We did not stay after seeing the conditions.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Everything. The area was rough. Our group was ‘approached’ by two different ladies. There were fans in the windows of the hotel. The hotel itself was run down. After seeing the conditions and surrounding area, we opted to find other accommodations.

DO NOT BOOK A ROOM HERE!!
Pros:

NOTHING!!

Cons:

The whole experience, starting with our first interaction with the front desk clerk. The front desk lady with the tattooed eye brows was VERY RUDE. She acted as though we were an inconvenience and overall had a foul attitude. When we got to the room the toilet wouldn't flush. It took the maintenance man, who I will say was very polite, almost 10 minutes to unclog it. The room had a foul moldy smell to it. We ended up not staying there and found a much better hotel.

Friendly staff but for the price there are nicer budget hotels in the area
Pros:

Good location, friendly staff. Room, including bathroom was clean.

Cons:

Hotel was bit run down, carpets were not overly clean or at least had a lot of stains. Bedding also had some stains. My room did not have a light that could be turned on upon entering as lamp had to be turned on all the way on the other side of the room. Closet had no hangers, and was missing the crossbar.

Hotels smelled my door didn't lock from inside breakfast was not advertised properly.
Pros:

Staff was excellent pool was well taken care of maid service was hard working and cleaned thoroughly.

Cons:

The breakfast was inconsistent everyday not having any eggs or lacking choices felt as if they threw out whatever was around in the kitchen. Stayed for 4 day only 1 day breakfast was disappointing compared to similar hotels false advertising.

Vraiment pas content !
Pros:

La proximité avec la bretelle de la Highway pour aller à Sturgis

Cons:

Malgré que le séjour ai été déjà payé sur PayPal,un des employés m'a demandé ma carte de crédit et a essayé de prélever le même montant, heureusement ma banque a refusé le paiement ce qui à occasionné un blocage de carte et m'a mis dans l'embarras. De plus il fallait demander à ce que l'on nettoie votre chambre sinon ils vous laissaient pendant plusieurs jours sans faire le lit ni changer les serviettes. Quand au petit déjeuner il se réduit vraiment à son strict minimum, il manquait toujours quelque chose. En résumé si vous avez le choix passez votre chemin !

Cons:

Brud. Wszędzie było brudno. Brudna pościel, w łazience wszędzie były jakieś włosy- na podłodze, w prysznicu. I jeszcze prośba o napiwek za „posprzątanie pokoju”
