Location was nice. Pool was dirty and run down. Our room smelled like dirty stagnant water and the AC would constantly turn on for about a minute, shut off for less than 30 seconds then turn back on. It was very loud!! The smell and noise from AC unit made it very difficult to sleep, especially for the kids! The hotel needs to undergo some major upkeep!

Expected a lil better

Staff was very friendly. Building could definitely use a deep clean and upgrade. The glass door to the pool was shattered, the pool itself was breaking up on the bottom. The hot tube wasn’t even hot nor did it have enough water in it. The pool was almost warmer than hot tube. The pool outside was uncared for. Very dirty which is a shame. It was so nice out July 3rd I would’ve liked to have swam outside. The breakfast was horrible, I couldn’t even eat it.

The hot tub and outdoor pool we couldnt use and the regular pool for kids only. Beds were so uncomfortable, pillows were flat as a pancake. The breakfast was supposed to be hot, but again needed to be reheated. Restaurant inside the hotel took over an hour and a half for dry wings but the pizza was good. I will not be going back.

MEH......

I'll start out with the good. Front desk staff was nice. Check in and out easy. The restaurant on site has FANTASTIC pizza. Outdoor pool was closed, as was the hot tub. I personally would never use a public hot tub, but the fact that the pool was not in order during 95+ degree weather was VERY disappointing. Another guest expressed the same thing. She only booked the trip as a girls weekend to use the pool. So that is a big miss. This place could definitely use a refresh. The carpet throughout is worn, dark and ugly.... and the lighting everywhere is dim and depressing. The toilet in our room rocked back and forth which was annoying, and one of the two beds in our room was ridiculous.... was like a big bowl that sucked you in the middle. Two adults could NOT sleep in that bed comfortably. The other bed was fine. Having a fridge in the room was nice. Overall, we only stayed 2 nights, but would not choose this hotel if/when we come back to Okoboji
