It was a great location to sites and airport. The condition of the actual property wasn't the best. Plumbing issues, peeling paint, torn carpets, ac heat unit didn't work correctly, cracked bathroom sink and more.

Decent
It is a basic hotel. The room is dated and had broken fixtures and a strange odor. The breakfast was fine but went quickly. It was clean and looked appropriate for the price of a hotel in SD.

Not as described
The pictures are not up to date. The doors where so hard to open our handle looked like it was about to break off. The beds are not comfortable. The hotel is out dated in general.

There were transients and drug addicts on and around property where my room was. The door had to be jimmied to get in. The room smelled and the bathtub was disgusting. I felt unsafe and checked out after only being there a few hours.

Bacon and switch or false advertising
Do not believe anything on this site about this hotel. Complete letdown and once again they do not have an actual breakfast. They have some bread, two types of cereal and juice.
