Very comfortable, convenient to lots of good food in walking distance, 30 minutes to most major SD attractions. Friendly and helpful front desk. Love the full kitchen in the suite. No room cleaning (1x per week) and had to get supplies-towels etc at front desk. Not a big deal, but miss the service of being done and put in the room. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it

Room was dated and dirty. Hairs all over the bathroom floor, sheets had stains. TV went out middle of the night. Called front desk and they said they were aware of the problem but they don’t have maintenance on site to help. What an inconvenience. We were just there for one night for a band competition, but will look elsewhere next time.

Ok so when I checked in I was not informed at all that I would be paying $10 a day to park my car at the hotel that I’ve paid for and was staying at for 3 nights until I checked out of my room. My room smelled so bad like stale cigarette smoke to the point I had to buy air freshener the night I arrived and it also gave me a headache. The building that I stayed in building 8 was extremely dirty around the outside and the elevator area was really bad….. I was there alone and definitely didn’t feel safe but good thing I have protection. I have requested a refund of my $30 but it has been crickets from the property.
