The hotel rooms are shockingly dated, not clean and give the feel of an institution. While we understand it was a holiday, the nightly rate was outlandish for the quality. It’s inexcusable there seemingly haven’t been any updates to the hotel in decades.

Clean but stale cigarette smell.

If you loved the 80’s you will love the decore. It is clean, I checked for bugs and none were found. I can get passed the dated decore but the smell of old stale cigarette smoke bothered my allergies horribly. My bathroom vent fan also didn’t have a function light so I did my hair and makeup by sink light for the wedding I was attending. Also no wifi in my room to finish up and check in work stuff. Overall very clean and quiet but the smell was too much for my allergies, it was also a no smoking room. The main lobby had the same smell.

Discussing hotel, everything dirty, spider’s web you can see it inside the hotel around windows, the room bedding I don’t think they changed it after checkout because you can smell it, no even glasses to drink a water or cups for coffee, the only thing you can find in the bathroom bar of soap, the customer service at the time of the checking in was rude. Need lots of updates

We enjoyed how large the whole property was. There was a lot to do and it wasn't overcrowded. Only bad thing is, there are courts and other activity area's available, but they don't have rackets, clubs etc to check out.

Pretty gross. No way that there have been any updates to this place since they won an award in 1997. Was staying with the rest of our team and it was probably our last.

Okoboji had record rains this spring, and that caused some flooding into the vestibule for our hotel building. The smell was awful, and we had to hold our breath going in and out of the building. Apart from that, the rest of the stay was fine.

Filthy rooms, friendly staff

The staff was friendly, but the room was FILTHY. Food, wrappers, empty beverage containers... sticky surfaces clearly not cleaned, the bathroom sink wasn't cleaned and neither was the bathroom floor!! It sounds like I am exaggerating, but I am NOT! I've never seen anything like this before. Also, the hotel property is in a state of disrepair. It looks half-abandoned.

Initial greeting at check in was poor and not aware of how Expedia finance works, no wifi in the room, small tv, fire detector falling from ceiling, sink faucet leaking, no outside door locks, shrubs overgrown, towels old/worn, and overall VERY VERY OUTDATED vintage 1980's. Although the area is great (Okoboji), this room and amenities (or lack of any) is not worth the price paid. I would estimate a $85-90/night would be more appropriate.

Throwback hotel and not in a good way

This hotel is one of the worst in which I have stayed in a long time. The entire facility is extremely run down and dirty. The room furniture is dorm-room quality/condition, and the bed featured a thin mattress and plastic covering and a bedspread that is straight out of the 80s. The restaurant was closed (in a tourist town on a holiday weekend), and several public bathrooms were out of order, as were half of the games in the "arcade". I would not have sat in that hot tub on a dare. WiFi is only available in the lobby, not in the rooms, which don't feature any appliances like a refrigerator or a microwave, despite being nowhere near anyplace to buy food. The only bit of updating was a small flat screen tv. Frankly, I was a little surprised it came with cable stations. The "beach" is small and quickly crowded. The water's edge is maybe forty yards in width. In four days I didn't see any sign of a housekeeping staff anywhere. There were a lot of threats of additional charges for leaving the room in "excessive disarray," but I saw candy wrappers up on top of hallway lights that had been there long enough to support cobwebs. If I had gotten this room at a serious bargain, I could have perhaps looked past the shabby condition and hall monitor atmosphere, but I paid the more per night ($220 on average) than I would have at a chain hotel that would have provided 21st century accommodations. Unless you are desperate and this is the only option, do not waste your money.
