8/10 Very good

Good enough for a night of rest

Easy to find, friendly staff. Pool was down for repairs. Not the best parking options and questionable people loitering in the parking area.

6/10 Good

Got more motel 8 vibes from the place.

Pool and hot tub were closed. Was unaware. Stain on towel in bathroom.

Place was clean and convenient to the airport. Pool was closed for an undetermined amount of time, which was a bummer, my daughter was looking forward to it.

Pool out

Disappointing that the hit tub and pool were out of commission and had been for a while yet The Dakota nor Hotels.com gave any notice.

2/10 Poor

Gross

Super gross room. Was told we were being moved rooms. Had concert tickets so just dropped our bags after we checked in and headed out the door. When we came back at midnight we discovered this is what the room looked like and there was no one at the front desk. Super disappointed. Have emailed the hotel with no response back

Don’t go anywhere else

Wonderful people. Wonderful rooms. If in town, I’ll stay there, again.

4/10 Fair

From a cleanliness and staff standpoint the standards were low. The buildings worn down. The ice machine had mold and the pool was out of service. I would not recommend this hotel.
Hondi, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent for price

Check in was slow- but that’s because there was a new person training. Hallways were very humid. Walked into the room and looked really nice. Room was cool temp. Only complaint was that the shower walls were obviously not wiped down recently.

8/10 Very good

Bed was comfortable and decent breakfast, room price was decent

2/10 Poor

Horrible

The pool was closed, we left a stuffed animal that had extreme sentimental value and we did not get it back
Amanda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean although aged. Good front desk help. Good coffee. Slept well. Good bed. (Comfortable) good rates! Good value for the money. Definitely a budget hotel. (Clientele) Would likely stay again.

The pool area & hot tub plus slide great. Furniture old,worn. Continental breakfast good. Exactly what you expect.

8/10 Very good

Perfectly priced for family

We stayed with our family for the state track meet. I had been before and knew the beds were very comfortable even if the rooms were dated. This stay we got one of the updated rooms so it was actually much nicer than my first visit. It had a larger fridge and nice microwave. As I said before the beds are comfortable. They allowed pets at no extra charge. My kids really enjoyed the pool area. It's smaller but has zero entry for little kids and a slide for bigger kids. The breakfast wasn't the best I have had but it was food. This is a great budget hotel!!
Erin, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Cute but Awful

First room we were given had been flooded, the carpet was squishy and the whole room smelled of mold. The carpet was sticky in the second room. The pool/waterpark was closed for maintenance. There were random children just hanging out riding bikes/scooters throughout the hotel.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Wont book here again

First room I got the door did not lock. Second room I got had not been remodeled. The hotel had buckets in the hallway to catch water from the leaking ceiling. The bed and pillows were rock hard. Whole hotel felt like a landlord special. Slapped on some cheap paint and vinyl floors and then think they can overcharge. The whole place just felt dirty and dingy.

4/10 Fair

Gross

After check-in, which took a long time, we found out the pool was closed. That was disappointing. The room was okay, beds are comfy. The walls need touch-ups and the toilet ran at night. We slept ok and the breakfast was nice, lots of options. The room was pretty quiet. There were stains on the carpet and some carpet torn in one spot. It looks like they're doing some renovations, but no signs are up informing customers. As we did a final sweep to check for forgotten items, I noticed the mattress protector on one bed had gotten pulled out and had dried feces on it. Or what looked like feces. It was totally disgusting and we were grossed out. There was nobody at the front desk so we didn’t tell the staff. We should have taken the refund when she offered at check out and stayed somewhere else. Only reason I gave some stars was the bed were comfortable and the free breakfast was decent. Had we seen the feces on the mattress protector prior to check-out we would not have stayed.

Check in was quick and easy, however our room was not that great. The floor felt as if it was soaked and just left sticky, there was heavy mildew smell in the bathroom, and the window was absolutely filthy. The morning we had checked out we had found a yogurt container in their breakfast area that had mold on it.
