Not a good stay
Bath tub was uneven like it had patch work, the whole room felt wet and humid. Only good thing was the bed. I walked around with slippers. I can hear every step from upstairs. The air conditioning unit was right under the curtains so I block most of the air. I won’t be staying there again.

Decent
It is a basic hotel. The room is dated and had broken fixtures and a strange odor. The breakfast was fine but went quickly. It was clean and looked appropriate for the price of a hotel in SD.

Simple room
Good to stay for a simple no frills night. Older furniture. Bar soaps are some of the thinnest and cheapest out there. Walls are very very thin as you can hear everything in the other rooms on each side. Great parking. Breakfast is hit or miss. Hard boiled eggs where available on first two days only, they the stopped putting them out.

Bacon and switch or false advertising
Do not believe anything on this site about this hotel. Complete letdown and once again they do not have an actual breakfast. They have some bread, two types of cereal and juice.
Best part is the view. Just don’t look down because you’re on the side of a busy street.

Don’t stay there even if it’s your last resort
Terrible first of all, it took three times going to the front desk because our keys didn’t work then the door was hard to get in second the TV didn’t work or the cable the window screen was ripped. The AC didn’t work. The phone didn’t have any room service overall really terrible smelled really bad in there as well. Never stayed there again.

Front desk agent was great. We had to change rooms because the HVAC didn’t work in the first room. We were too tired to change room the next day after we discounted tub had a horrible drip. The entrance to our room was a challenge to get in because the handle never seemed to work properly. Sometimes you had to put the handle up sometime down luckily we got in at all to the room. Needless to say the room needs some love!

Not the best hotel to stay at
Check in was easy and simple. The key cards were a bit frustrating, the room keys would deactivate if the was not in the paper sleeve. The floors were dirty, the water was dripping from the bathtub, the tub itself looked dirty and does not look it has been cleaned. the furniture looked like it was chewed on, and just looked and smell dirty. I will not be returning

Room Service
Overall, the stay at this Hotel was good. Although the Customer Service associates were difficult to understand, it is fair to say that there amenities made up for it. The Continental Breakfast was great, it is highly recommended that if you will be utilizing that service, show up early as that area gets really crowded. Be aware that if you have a stay for more than 1-day, no room service will be provided. Inquire with the front desk.

Wont be staying here again
While we were staying here for a military graduation we found the to be a very unpleasant stay. We were so busy during the days but to be in a room with a leaky bathtub faucet constantly while try to sleep was frustrating. We also had an air/heat hurt that didn’t turn on and a toilet that continuously plugged up. The basic necessities were not provided. Our family in a joining room had a broke iron and leaking bathroom sink causing floor to be wet. The parking was good , decent breakfast as well. This is not motels fault but behind motel we encountered people shooting up drugs. I’m grateful we were not in our room a whole lot but again just needed the basic functions of a room and it just wasn’t there.

Old and not safe to stay with family
This Hotel is old. Closet had bad smell. Carpet was old however vacuum you do it wont make a difference. Bathroom and electrical fittings were broken. With homeless people situation I won’t consider that hotel next time to stay with family.

Terrifying, no amenities, cigarettes everywhere
Horrific! The “five beach bars” don’t exist. Neither does the restaurant. There’s cigarette butts and cigarette stink everywhere for a hotel that says it’s non-smoking. I was too scared to stay there as a solo woman. I canceled it and went to the Holiday Inn (which was great, highly recommend) just to feel safe and not have all my stuff smelling like an ashtray. I hope Hotels.com isn’t charging me for my cancelled booking.
Oh look, the non-smoking hotel comes with a free cigarette
More cig butts in the room that was supposedly just cleaned
Filthy with planks of wood keeping people from crawling in through the windows
Graffiti all over the building
