Exactly as you'd expect. Nothing fancy, just a small town hotel/motel. Next to bar and grill that was above average.

Staff did everything they could to make it a good stay. Curry smell is not my favorite. Game cleaning and plug in for the boat with plenty of room.

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.

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.

It was not nice nor very clean. It clearly hadn’t been thoroughly vacuumed since the last guest.
It was convenient and relatively safe. A decent hotel in this area at this price point,

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.

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.

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.

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.
