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.

Would definitely stay here again. Hotel and room were very clean, beds very comfortable. Breakfast was good. Area felt safe, but did have someone knocking repeatedly on our door at 2:20 am one night. Not sure what that was about but was disconcerting. Pool was very warm which was nice. Check in staff was kind and polite. Only complaint was the shower, I don't know if it was the plumbing or the faucet cartridge but it kept going hot and cool during our showers.
