""Bugs bugs and pee" March 2026 Bug infestation is never good in a hotel, we had bugs crawling across floor and ceiling and have pictures to share, my wife wouldn’t even use bathroom. There was pee around base of toilet and hair on the towels. It didn’t appear like the room had been vacuumed. But the bugs were the major issue. The employee at the front desk had the personality of a blank coffee cup. We didn’t eat breakfast because of the lack of cleanness of the room."

"Overall great stay!! Will return when in South Dakota."

"Not very clean. Property is poorly maintained. Breakfast was a joke! Pool and hot tub out of order and not noted anywhere. "

"Saturday morning at 8:40am we went to grab breakfast. It was GONE. Literally, no eggs, no potatoes, no breakfast meat, no waffle mix, no coffee cups. Options left were 4 yogurts in the fridge, corn flakes or raisin bran. Although breakfast runs and is "offered" until 9am, we took some accountability and thought we'd just try to wake up earlier the next morning. Sunday morning we set alarms to wake up early enough to get breakfast. Got down to breakfast at 8am, to find the food again, was gone. That's an entire hour before breakfast should be done being served. Most hotels you'll see an attendant to ask for something if you cant find it, or wiping tables down. There was NO ONE, it was fend for yourself. Saturday night the 4 of us got our suits on and went down to the spa. GAG! The water and entire room smelled of mildew. The water was murky. The bottom of the tub felt like a layer of slime. Afterwards I took a shower, went to blow dry my hair and the blow dryer didnt work! My husband called the front desk and asked if they had an extra they could let us use. The employee told him she couldnt find one that worked. OK, so now what?? I needed to blow dry my hair, as we had church the next morning. So i went to the front desk, nobody was there. I rang the bell on the counter, waited a minute. Still nobody, so I rang the bell again. STILL, nobody! So i stepped outside the front doors and there the employee was outside with somebody smoking. Overall, very frustrating stay!"

"Room was great for our trip. Ground floor pets. Easy in and out for check in and out. Front desk staff was kind, informative and quick. The indoor pool wasn't the warmest but it's shape and style was very unique. Free on site laundry with nice washers and dryers was incredibly helpful after our long trip. AC could use an upgrade and filter needed replaced. Still worked well enough though. The little quirks were cute; colored trash bags, shapes and style of furniture. In the front office there were books and games to use at your leisure which was nice. We loved the style of the Inn itself. Restaurant next door was a great atmosphere for kids, grab and go kinda food was good and not too pricey. Overall would love to come back for a visit when its a bit warmer to use the outdoor pool also. "

"Very good affordable option! "

"There were bugs in our room, bugs in the pool & the hot tub. I tried to tell the front desk, but he was hanging out with a kid and some women in the lobby, & the bugs were already there"

"Good "

"Absolutely will be back. I had a great stay, felt safe, and the staff were all very friendly. The s’mores were also a great finishing touch to a great night "
