Absolutely horrid
Cons:

Breakfast was terrible. Out of everything, barley any milk for cereal. Didn’t have anything hot. Bread and bagels were out. Juice machine hardly worked.
Pool door was broken so no pool, which was the main reason for our stay. Manager wouldn’t answer or return calls. Manager never showed up in the morning. Staff was extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. Hallway doors leading outside didn’t latch, wind had blown them open. Leaves all over, freezing cold. Hallways smelled like weed and smoke. Very unpleasant stay.

I took pictures of the inappropriate things. I will never stay there again.
Pros:

I like the location. The staff members were friendly.

Cons:

I used the main bathroom when I got there and there was a huge pile of hair on the floor. I checked in AFTER check in and my room was not ready. There was no hand soap or tissues in the bathroom. Behind the couryard it looked like a garbage pit. For breakfast the peanut butter was hard.

Cons:

The pool is not operational. Hasn’t been for a very long time. Therefore it should not be listed on the property website. We did not stay.

Pros:

The people were very polite and friendly and very helpful with whatever you needed and it had a nice pool and bedrooms were decent sized

Cons:

The complimentary breakfast could have been better but it had choices of cereals and muffins but nothing like hot pancakes or sausage or bacon but they tried their best with the small staff they had

Just so unpleasant
Pros:

The courtyard

Cons:

The toilet had pee on it when we checked in. There was glitter all over the room. When we checked in they were very unprofessional. Once again, the pool was closed for cleaning- like every other time we have stayed there. Two days after we were there I noticed they charged me for my room even though I pre paid through Booking.com. When I called they were very rude and said the manager would call me back. I had to ask if she wanted my number. She sounded annoyed I did. Will not stay there again nor recommend to anyone else

We were out most of the time... we slept comfortably
Pros:

Breakfast.... only a few pasteries. We went to Ihop.
The A/C was on and our room nice and cool when we arrived

Cons:

Shower head wasnt attached correctly... spraying water up onto ceiling.
There was a hole in hallway wall... with the piece of sheetrock and debris left.
No one at front desk at 7am even tho sign said someone would be there at 6am. And no one picked up desk phone where you were supposed to be able to reach someone.
Only 1 bath towel... 2 of us staying... had to go to desk for another towel.

Okay, but definitely not great
Pros:

Price during the Sioux Empire Fair

Cons:

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.
