Fecis all over toilet and bathroom. Staff got mad because she thought we put the key card on the desk to hard. She called manager and followed us outside while recording us and our vehicle. Manager didn’t see an issue with staffs behavior. We didn’t stay and they refused to refund our money for the room.

This hotel was extremely dirty outside the common area. The hallways had litter from the wrestling tournament kids, mud and dirt. Inside the room the rocking chair had a majority of the upholstery gone, the refrigerator was broken, the sink and desk chair was damaged. The room's carpet had some food or something embedded in the fibers. The bathroom near the front desk had NO paper towels and less than one roll of toilet paper. Most of all they refused to have us in a nearby room close to the front or main floor entry door. They were fully booked because of a wrestling tournament. Both Mom and myself have serious disabilities, I use a cane and Mom has COPD and a heart condition. We were in a second story room in the furthest corner from the front desk. Mom was out of breath and had a take several breaks walking to the room. We checked in at 3:30 pm and check in was at 3:00 pm. Not all the rooms could have been already checked in. We came to Sioux Falls to have a cancer screening. I question how safe the hotel is.. when came back to the hotel at 8 pm there were 2 police cars and 3 officers at the front desk. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Front desk attendant was extremely nice! That was the only pro….rooms had hair on sheets, cold air coming through everywhere, heater blowing all night and did nothing. Drain in shower very slow, standing in 2 inches of water while showering. Smelled like weed everywhere and just all out loud. Water slide was actually very cool, hot tub was great.

I stayed in this hotel with my family shortly after it was built. It was a lovely hotel with a beautiful courtyard, fun pool and waterslide area, great staff and a nice breakfast area. My how the years have worn this place down. Taking a drive around the property shows the exterior neglect, and a brief walk inside shows the interior neglect. Couple this with cheap rates, noisy kids and dogs, folks who obviously call this place home, and doors continually propped open as if to share their stay with everyone, and you can't help but wonder what happened. Our room was fine, but this whole place is run down and needs to be refurbished. It's not a real convenient location to much of anything, other than the interstate. The staff is fine, and we got checked in after just a few minutes wait. The breakfast leaves A LOT to be desired. They have a wonderful breakfast area, very nice actually, but hardly anything to actually eat. Cold cereal, bread and bagels, a bowl of apples, and orange juice, that's about it. It barely suffices as a continental breakfast and leaves a lot to be desired. If you like coffee, they have a nice little coffee bar, and the gal taking care of the area was nice and friendly. This place used to be a top-notch hotel. It's been left to rot, and now a person can see why it's one of the cheapest places to stay in town. Staff - ok, Room - ok, Hotel - needs a lot of work...

Hotel is dated but for the money no complaints. Well the pillows really suck. Please change to full size pillows. It would greatly improve the experience
