Excellent customer service, so friendly. Easy check-in, updated rooms, new lighting, furniture, beds..., oh, the bed was so comfortable that I called weeks after our stay to find out what brand it was. I would stay here again if I'm ever back in the area. Affordable, quiet, walking distance to food and fuel.

Liked: Cleanliness
The lodge and accommodations were surprisingly impressive especially for their price point. Staff was very helpful and friendly and served a decent continental breakfast. The room was as nice as my usual Hampton Inn rooms with a new mattress, recently installed shower/ tub, heated massage reclining chair and a big screen tv with many channels. Yes I will definitely stay with them again during my next visit to Mitchell, SD.
