Never again!!!!!!

I had reserved the room in advance as it said there was only one left, but upon arriving, it didn't appear that was the case. The Host were ok, helpful and talkative, but the room was something to be desired. The TV didn't work, I asked for the wifi access and didn't get a response on that. There were some type of bugs crawling all over, we slept with towels over our pillows. The TV didn't go off, it for some reason had no picture, but was still on. I slept with an eye mask to shield the lightness. Thankfully we only had to spend a minimal amount of time there as we headed out very early in the morning to continue on to Custer, SD. It was deceiving because the room stated it was $59(or$54?), but it actually ended up costing us $72 because I added some insurance plan that was confusing when I did the online reservation. I thought it was to reserved the room due to it only showing 1 available, but after arriving and seeing that not to be the case, it seemed to me a gimmick on getting more money out of a person traveling looking for a place to stay. Either way, it definitely wasn't a good experience and we will probably never stay there again or refer it to anyone else traveling out that way. I guess you get what you get in Plankinton, SD

Bugs in the bed. Bugs in the floor. Carpets were filthy. Front desk person was annoyed that I was checking in at 9pm. She was more worried about her boyfriend who came back in. She through the cards in the counter and walked off. I’ve stayed here many times and the place has fallen apart and is FILTHY. Stay in Mitchell or Kimball if you can

Dirty, Dirty, Dirty !

Absolutely terrible. This place needs reported right away. Roaches infested the breakfast area and rooms. Air conditioning was not cooling at all, resulting in a very hot and sticky room. Did not even want to sleep there due to all of the bugs, but was already charged the room price. No screens on the window. No smoke detector- just exposed wires hanging from the ceiling which is probably against code. The toilet looked unclean in the bowl and still had hairs on the outside. Price was just as much as a properly maintained hotel. I would not suggest staying here, and definitely do not eat the infested food. Opened the fridge in the room and bugs went scattering everywhere. Hallways were trashed and unclean and the side door to the outside had no lock or key entry so anyone could walk right in. The parking lot was dark with no lights except for nearby truck-stop. This place is dangerous to both health and safety. Could not get out of there quick enough!

Run down

Nobody was at the desk at 8 pm when we arrived. We pushed the call button and 15 minutes later a couple drove up in pajamas to check us in. The entire place was dirty and run down. Our pillows were disgusting, but thankfully we had our own since we had been camping. The room was dirty and the shower barely drained. I wish I had stopped at Chaimberlin instead. Don't stay here.
