Monte

Disliked: Amenities
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.

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.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property needs updating. The smell of Indian food was super strong when we arrived, the breakfast was a loaf of bread, a half full jar of peanut butter, frozen pancakes made from a mix and put in a Rubbermaid! The sink and tub was super dingy, the chair in bedroom was old and crusty, need I go on?

Small town motel OK but should be better.

Basically too expensive given quality of the room. The bed was good, and so was the shower. But most other things in the room were aging and/or poorly repaired. Free breakfast should really only be called a snack. But there is no other motel in this small town.

Disliked: Amenities
The property was ok, but he carpet in our room desperately needed a shampooing, there was no hair dryer or coffee machine in the room. The room was quite musty but I always travel with febreeze. The continental breakfast was 2 kinds of cereal, bread, coffee and juice, we skipped it. The Inn needs some upkeep. Bed was good, bedding clean, pillows comfortable. We stayed there to go to the next door restaurant which was in walking distance and made it worth while.

I couldn't get tv service as the dish was down. Bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Parking lot half closed off. Roofing work started at 730am. Should have closed until it was done or offered a discount. Was so tired after leaving there I was falling asleep while driving. Had to stop for the night way earlier than I'd have liked to.

Don’t waste your time or money

There was no front desk staff when I went to check in. There was a phone number to call and someone on the other end told me to take a room key of my choice from a basket at the end of the counter. Seriously? Three hours later the front desk staff asked me to come to the desk to register. I was very uncomfortable as the door did not have an extra lock, only the actual door lock. The room was freezing as the heat had not been turned on yet. When I went to check out, there was also no staff at the desk. Wanted a receipt and was unable to get one. The breakfast was a joke. A loaf of bread that anyone could put their hands in, a gallon of milk the was also a community gallon and a gallon of orange juice. One community jar of peanut butter and NOTHING else. I would NEVER Stay there again.

I had a reservation and when I went to check in the gentleman informed me that I did not have a room here. Pulled up my email confirmation and he shrugged his shoulders and refused to speak to me anymore. Apparently a big college game that weekend, so allowed a few reservations to fall away with no notification in order to capitalize on higher rates they could get from game attendees. I had to contact credit card company to make sure charges did not go through to this property. Needless to say, my impression of staff and the property is very low.
