Found a shirt left in our room along with the entertainment center covered in dust, food still on silverware, left our receipt partially under the door with personal information(also seeing many others in front of doors on floors), housekeepers were the friendliest staff, front desk staff were snooty. If you can get over that overall the stay was very nice. Even the walk to the water park was nice not having to go outside.

Comfy and Clean

Comfy bed and clean! Residence Inn’s are top of my list of places to stay. My only complaint is the maid service knocked on our door twice to see if we left yet. First time was around 8:30. We should have put the do not disturb sign on the door.

Thumbs down for shower stall

I’ve never liked the way you have your shower stall. A sliding door would allow steam to stay with you and wouldn’t allow for all the water to spray out on bathroom floor. We’ve stayed at Home 2 and they have a perfect set up!!

We have enjoyed staying at this hotel for almost a decade every year during black hills stock show. It’s always been very clean and staff has been great. This year we walked into our normal suite and were blasted with the smell of pot. So strong we could chew it. My 3 small children put their swim suits on and my husband took them to the water park while I went to the front desk. Front desk said they couldn’t do anything about it. After returning to the room it suddenly had taken on the smell of cigarette smoke which was literally rolling from under the door to the adjoining room next to us. On my way to the bathroom I discovered human feces on the kitchen floor and that someone had very recently showered in the shower. I asked for our room to be recleaned and they said no. They did give us another room, not as nice as the suite we had paid for. The next morning I thought the manager could do something better… like a free stay or at least he reassurance that our stay would be better next year. She actually told me she knew the other guest was using our room, using drugs and breaking hotel policy but she was an extended stay guest and they didn’t want to disturb her!!! I asked for a full refund then. She laughed and said only if we’d leave. No apologies for human feces, our luggage & clothing was rancid from the few hours it was in our hotel room it was that bad. So frustrating!!

We had an excellent stay! The room was spacious and waterpark for my son was great! My only complaint would be them not willing to refund the last night when we decided to leave a day early.

State wrestling stay

Very nice stay. I did request a king room, upon arrival, was not given this. Our room had broken plug covers, which not a huge deal, but didnt look the best. Also did request, every other day room tidying, but did not happen, but understand it was an incredibly busy time for staff. Would stay again as rooms were clean, and huge. Nice to have full fridges and dining table.
