Friendly staff, close to campus, warm bed and hot shower. I was traveling with a dog and they put me in a room on the first floor right by an exit door which was wonderful

Parking and proximitiy to University of South Dakota is incredible. Outside appearance is average, but interior is recently remodled and very clean. Was quiet and peacefull. very little traffic or noise after 9pm. Basic Motel with few aminities, but very clean and priced perfectly for its offerings. Would easily stay again if visiting USD and didnt' plan to spend much time in the room.

Very clean and quiet area. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Nice, newly renovated bathroom. Great downtown area with fun shops and lots of food choices.

The front desk attendant at check-in was friendly and helpful. Walls are a little thin so it was a bit noisy until 11pm and at 6 am. The shower wouldn't work and the temperature was only boiling hot. The adjuster just spun and the shower stopped wouldn't stay up. When I told the lady at the front desk she said she would check it, didn't apologize or anything else. Beds were very comfortable and clean.

Great location near campus. The hotel is just older and could use a rehab. But the price was great!

The hotel offered good value for money. Some areas such as stair carpets are a little worse for wear and the breakfast could be improved but it was certainly worth the money

What hotel does not have coffee in the morning?? The "Out of Order" sign looked like it had been there awhile. I like to give independent hotel owners a shot when I am traveling alone, my wife refuses for just the experience I had here. I will say everything was clean, but the sky blue walls gave me a little bit of a hospital feel!

Comfy room

After reading some of the reviews ( which are admittedly older reviews)I was nervous about my booking. Yes, its a bit dated, but I was very pleasany surprised. The lady at the desk was friendly, the halls were clean and odourless and the room was just fine. Bed was comfy and clean, bathroom was clean. No issues! Thank you!

Clean but pretty worn and bedding is thin. Bath towels are small and thin. Heat was either on or off. Set to auto it never shut off and room got way too hot despite set at 70. Breakfast was ok but no juice at all - machine marked as broken. Pop machine broken too. Could be a great place but there are a lot of things that need to be fixed. Fantastic location and staff were great.

We stopped in early to make our reservation. We were going to be a late arrival. They have it posted that the lobby is open until 11:00pm. We knew it would be closer to midnight. They waited for us. She had the key in her hand when we came through the front door. Our only problem was the heater. It was very warm when we checked in. We turned it down to 68. It did not cool off. We completely shut it off. The staff was great.

Clean but extremely frugal amenities

The bed was comfortable. The mattress was clean, but the box spring cover looked old and soiled. The blanket was old and worn. The pillows not the greatest. The coffee maker was placed high up in a closet and there was no coffee or cups. There was just one chair in the room. No paper or pen. No phone. Only one half-dollar size soap. One tiny tube of shampoo. Only one roll of toilet paper—no backup roll. One washcloth. Breakfast was cereal or a few pieces of pastry. The hotel had sufficient parking. It appeared to be owned or operated by people from India.

This is a safe, comfortable, and quiet hotel that is adjacent to the University of South Dakota. Parking doesn't seem to be a problem. There is no elevator or baggage arts. I had a cleanliness issue with the room that was at a level I couldn't tolerate. The nice lady at the front desk was a bit surprised by this and immediately gave me a different room. This room was definitely better but still in need of a deep cleaning in my opinion. Everything in the room worked just fine, A/C, refrigerator, TV, microwave, lighting, plumbing. The window opens for some fresh air too. I would definitely stay here again but my only advice would be to take the time to inspect the room before committing to it.
