Monte

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was pleasant and the room was clean. However, the tv remote only turned the tv on and did not change the channels. The heater produced a terrible odor for several minutes when we turned it on for the first time. The room lacked outlets in convenient places. The carpeting appeared to be very old and the paint job in the bathroom was very sloppy. The floor of the shower was marked by black spots as if something had been partially removed from the surface. The breakfast included only cereal, milk, juice, toast, packaged cookies and donuts, and coffee.

It’s nothing fancy, but the room was comfortable. The main issue I had was that two of the three main lights in the room did not work, but the owners resolved it by moving me to a different room, so that was good. There also were no stoppers for the drains in either the bathtub or the sink. Breakfast was simple, but good. I liked that they were flexible on the timing.

We enjoyed that it was nextdoor to 1481 Grille in Arlington, where we were able to walk over to eat! We had a comfortable weekend stay. It was not too far from DeSmet, which was our destination for Laura Ingalls Wilder historical sites.

I am not a princess so don’t require a perfect, fancy hotel. I am satisfied if the hotel is clean, the bed is comfortable, and there is a decent breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was pleasant but the property is in serious need of investment and care. This property is overpriced for the state of the amenities. Our room had one of the worst paint jobs I've seen, a sink that barely drained, lights that didn't work, and carpet in serious need of replacement. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable and clean.

Helpful at check in.

I was caught in the road closures by Sioux City Iowa during the recent flooding and came in late at 1 am. The person checking me in was friendly and kind even though it was the middle of the night and I am sure they don't have many customers at that hour.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff was great and very friendly. The property is extremely dated, has 70s carpet and likely the same bed spread. The property is dirty, I told my wife not to even drink the coffee out of the breakfast area because of the condition. The entry into the building was extremely unpleasant. We will likely not ever stay there again.

So So Stay

There was no soap in the shower dispenser. Breakfast left much to be desired. Cold pancakes. At least there was a microwave to heat them. Beds were comfortable, location was good for what we needed. Could use some updates

The owner was very friendly and approachable. This is not a hotel where you would find a butler or uniformed staff. This is a hotel in a tiny town - perhaps the only hotel in this tiny town. The building shows wear and tear from years of use but everything looked safe and clean. I've stayed in better places for the same amount of money but I've also paid more for worse. I did not dislike anything but neither did I find anything especially appealing.
