This hotel defines the word, basic. Old rooms with no outlets. The TV was on a switched plug as was the microwave. The noisy air conditioner was unplugged. The tub dripped constantly. It was a room for the night. That's it

The drop ceilings in our room were saggy and had water marks. The tub was rusted and not clean. The bed was very stiff. The front desk was so nice, but we did not stay the second night due to the conditions of our room. We moved hotels. No refund provided. We stayed in the building by the laundry.

Not great.
I have trouble believing the reviews for this motel. The stairwell is falling apart. The first room had cockroaches. The second room I didn't see cockroaches but there were flies. The carpeting was filthy. The bedding and linens were clean. The bed was comfortable. I was only there for a pitstop after driving all day. I guess you get what you pay for. I stayed there 3-4 years ago and I remember it to be decent for the $$. After this last visit, I won't be back.

Don't let the looks fool you.
Extremely friendly and proud staff, they take care of their investments and expect their guests to do the same, exactly the way I was brought up. Breakfast was not a huge offering but everything was kept fresh, very clean, wrapped up, and well stocked. The building is older but you can see that they have taken much care and spent money on keeping it up to date and fresh. Very comfortable beds, probably one of the best night's sleep I has in a week of traveling day to day. Thanks.

The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, the air worked well, the breakfast had lots of options… waffles, toast, eggs, sausage, yogurt, cereal, bananas & mandarins, with coffee & liquid flavored creamers. The check in man was friendly.

Easy check-in with a 24 hour desk which was nice. Room and building was slightly dated, but everything was just fine. Breakfast was the typical continental you'd expect in this price range. Overall value was what I was looking for and this location hit that mark.

For an older property, this one is well maintained and clean. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is clean. Large TV. The breakfast was medium in terms of selection but it was ready at 6 am and offered a nice continental breakfast plus. Good value. Special thanks to Andy and Om. We enjoyed our stay so much that we returned after visiting western South Dakota.

Owners acted paranoid and suspicious. Stared uncomfortably long while talking in a foreign language. Establishment was dated and needed more repairs. Overall it was clean and served its purpose for a quick overnight stay.
