I would not recommend every staying here

We booked this motel last minute as the reviews I had read weren't terrible and price fit out budget. When we entered building it had strong smell of pot. Our room wasn't dirty and I was ok with bed. The fan in bathroom was very noisy as it came on with light so couldn't turn it off. Our biggest disappointment was we had no hot water in room for entire stay. The receptionist blamed problems on owner as the pool had some water but untreated and breakfast area closed off. The motel had no one on staff to clean rooms as we didn't care as had go to Lobby to get clean towels. I just as well have found campground or slept in car.

I don't have high standards when it comes to hotel rooms, but they failed to meet my low standards on the first room. There was a layer of slime in the bathtub, one of the towels was filthy dirty, the sheets were stained and looked terrible. There was also a lingering scent of stale cigarette smoke in the first room. I have only requested a new room at a motel/hotel once before, and that was at a casino and the room was full of cigarette smoke. Also the area with the stairs had a weird smell to it and had obviously not been vacuumed for weeks, if not months. The one shining star was the staff, who checked the second room and got us into the second room in 5 minutes.

No ac in 90 degrees. No one to tell this too. 4 busts on our floor where we seemed to be the only people that were visiting. The rest were living there on government check( welfare?) The last straw was Saturday night when I was sickened by a weird smell coming in the room(cough/nausea) went down to front desk and told the guy I want a complete refund- no ac and a drug making bust on my floor. The place was full of firemen and.police . He said he was having to get everyone to leave and he lost his room there(condemned) I have cancer and no sleep plus me having to drive in the middle of the night was unsafe but due to the Labor Day weekend nothing had a vacancy. Being a woman it wasn’t safe for me to sleep in my vehicle either. I have never had such a horrible thing as this staying at this place. As I said here and I told the guy at your desk at midnight A REFUND.

Not what was expected

first morning had no hot water, second morning had warm water, third morning had hot water. First morning the breakfast selection consisted of cold cereal, juice and coffee. The next two mornings there was a few bagels added to the selection. Definitely not what we were expecting.

I had a good stay at this hotel, especially given its ideal location just an hour from Mt. Rushmore. The bed was comfortable, and I enjoyed a quiet night’s rest. The unexpected toiletries, including body lotion, were a nice surprise. The 24-hour reception was convenient, and the on-site free parking was a plus. Breakfast was included, but it was limited to just coffee and cold cereals. However, with a supermarket and restaurants nearby in this small town, other options were easily accessible. Overall, a solid choice for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in the area.

The staff was unfriendly and not helpful. The elevator barely ran. Thought we were gonna get stuck in it a few times. There was a hole in the wall in the bathroom. The sheets were dirty and had hair on them. The bed was rock hard. The ac filters had caked on dirt and hair. I had to rinse them out just so we could run the ac unit. The guest next door had a dog and Had tv very loud door wide open at 1am. Got up for breakfast next morning to a note stating no breakfast had to get supplies. It was horrible. Dont ever stay there!! this property owner/mgmt needs to do the right thing and refund me my money back
