It was fair

The hotel was OK. The room was clean and smelled like cleaning products. The bed was lumpy, and the pillows were the lumps, most uncomfortable pillows ever, and the sheets were scratchy.

where we stay in SD

We stay at this hotel when we visit family in SD; at least twice a year. Property is always clean and kept looking beautiful. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. They have various type of rooms to stay in. This time we chose a room with a kitchen. It was nice as we stayed 10 days. Staff is always polite and helpful. We will continue to stay here in the future.
