Independent Beach hotels

"Wanted to love this stay because the town itself was amazing, but unfortunately we were disappointed the moment we stepped into this property. It was never disclosed that the pool would be closed, but I could have looked past that. What I could not overlook was the condition of the hotel due to construction. The lobby was being used as construction storage, and it appeared that nearly 95% of the hotel was under renovation. There were construction materials and debris throughout the property, and the smell was overwhelming. I honestly don’t understand how the hotel is allowed to remain open in this state. After a long day of traveling, we stayed because it was the only hotel available nearby, but I regret that decision. Since leaving, both my children and I have experienced health issues, including asthma flare-ups. I truly realized how unsafe the conditions were when walking to breakfast and my son tripped over debris in the hallway. The staff were unfortunately not helpful and offered no apology or understanding. Instead, they suggested we should have stayed in our car if we were unhappy. I travel frequently and have never experienced conditions or customer service this poor. A complaint has been filed with the Board of Health, as I do not believe this hotel should be operating while in this condition. Photos have been attached."

"I was checking in late and had had a hard time finding someone to check me in. Called several numbers. Finally got in and the room was clean but not well done. Everything seemed DIY "

"Great place very comfortable "

"Cabin was nice clean they could maybe update the kitchen table and add a hair dryer to the bathroom otherwise everything was good"

"Stay was great. "

"So bad, beyond words bad, could not get anyone to come to front desk. Was a run down weedy mess. Just a total false description. No one would come to front desk. We went back to Medora SD. Found a place to stay. Nothing on VRBO was true. Total lie!!!!! Don’t fall for it. Any good reviews are false!!! "

"Place was a overpriced motel room. I didn't understand from pictures. Place was a little rundown but clean. Town was fun & friendly. Overall stay was comfortable."

"First impression it looked sketchy. But it was a clean safe environment. I thought we were getting a room with 2 queen beds but they were smaller.Strong perfume like smell in the halls. Bathroom was dated but functional. Windows didn't have screens in them but did open.Fresh waffles in the morning were great!Sure, there are many updates and improvements that could be made but it is a safe dry place to stay on a budget."

"Non working coffee pot, non working microwave, Non working phone in room. ????? Beds were clean. Towels were rough and old and stained. This is not a B&B to standards of what a B&B is. This is a hotel 8. The only nice thing I can say is that the manager and staff were all very friendly and accomidating. Owner needs to get this place updated to proper guest standards. "
