Staff was great - restaurant was really good, had walleye fish and chips, really good. This is a hotel/motel, they are redoing it, but it's still a dressed up motel. Had a room on the inside that had a useless sliding glass door into a meeting room where there was a very loud meeting going on the whole first day when I really needed a nap. There aren't a lot of choices in Pierre so...

Horrible first room

We had a horrible first night the beds were broken and the mattress was sunk in, there was mold above the window and holes in the headboard. They did move us to a better room the next day. No compensation for our problems at all. Will not stay here again.

Work in progress.

Hotel was in the process of remodeling - this was not shared with us when we checked in. The room we were in was still in the remodeling process. Check in was perfunctory; not welcoming.
