Reviews for Dakota Inn

Review 1:I stepped on something on the floor that punctured my foot, thereby leaving a spot of blood on the sheet. The room was very dismal, unattractive to say the least.

Review 2:Very dissatisfied as it wasn't what we expected with booking.com

Review 3:Only the person "policing" the dining area.

Review 4:We had to be in town for a funeral, which necessitated last minuteaccommodations, and staff were very accommodating and sympathetic to ourneeds. We had only one complaint - that being the person who took careof the dining room. She acted like she thought we were going to run awaywith the place.We were so much impressed otherwise, we recommended the Dakota Inn to other family members, resulting in 3 other families also staying with you. Given the opportunity, we definitely would stay again.

Review 5:Bed was fairly hard. WiFi was not very good.

Review 6:Staff was really friendly and room had a good size fridge, table and chairs. Didn't try the free breakfast because I had to be to leave very early before it opened. Homesteader's restaurant right next door has great food.

Review 7:It was so easy to get to our room. They let us check in a little early because the wedding was at 4:00pm. The temperature was comfortable. There was a fridge and microwave at no extra charge. There was a picnic table outside where my husband was able to relax and smoke. And the breakfast was decent. The room was clean. Found a place along the floor tile in the bathroom that wasn't perfect. The rest was fine. They even had extra pillows. Thank you, Booking.com. Thank you Dakota Inn.

Review 8:Room was gross. Lack of professional attitude by the staff. The smell in the facility was disgusting. The front desk attendant was asleep at the desk at 9 pm over all worst place I have ever seen

Review 9:It was cheap

Review 10:Location was excellent easy to find -restaurant nearby was good = 2 minute walk . Pool and hot tub were an added bonus. Didn't use microwave - did use the fridge. Breakfast was good - hot waffles were an added bonus. We would stay here again.

Review 11:The rooms are very outdated as well as the furniture. Bed linens very old.

Review 12:Location was good and nice to have a restaurant very close. Nice pool and nice to have a lounge.

Review 13:My first room had wet carpet and stunk bad. On the good side, the staff did put me in a new room the next morning. Needs some serious maintenance. The bathroom doors stick and ceilings and door frames, especially in the bathrooms could use some serious maintenance: cracks, etc in the ceilings,peeled paint, rusted out door frames at the bottom of the bathroom doors. We were on floor one and there was definitely issues with musty odor.. 1st room I was in had stained sheets on one of the beds.

Review 14:Beds were comfortable

Review 15:The room smelled the air conditioner sounded like a train and the breakfast was meager to say the least. The last day there was luck warm coffee

Review 16:the best thing about this hotel was its bad location

Review 17:Please improve the breakfast no hot food available the waffles if I remember were cold no hot food. Eggs would be okay

Review 18:Quick check in service for that early in the a.m.

Review 19:Well,upon arrival,room wasnt what we expected,was very old,and didnt look like photos in ad.Bathtub had hair in it,around sides,and was dirty looking,needed a good scrubbing,and upon seeing the payment transferred to canadian,(when i got back),the value of money hadnt changed but a few pennies,yet my bill took a $$$$ increase.Makes me wonder.......

Review 20:Breakfast was ok,staff seemed pleasant not bad of an area,close to shopping

Review 21:Needed some assistance in the evening, but the whole staff is Pakistani and there was a large language barrier to providing needs of the guests.

Review 22:Pool area was nice with a hot tub, kids pool, and large pool with warm water.

Review 23:There was nothing bad, you definitely got what you paid for here it is an old dated hotel with not many frills or luxurious extras but it's perfect if your just using it to sleep in.

Review 24:It was clean and comfortable. Dated and in serious need of a face lift but the sheets were clean and the bed was easy to sleep on.

Review 25:The very first night we were there , we were accused of being too loud the other guests complained, if sitting watching T.V is disturbing other guests then Im not sure what being quiet is!!!!! The carpet and upholstrey on chairs were filthy, the bathroom was grosse.Staff not very friendly.The drink machine ripped us off.We will never stay there again.The place stinks, usually we dont complain but this was not nice!!!!!!

Review 26:That we left!!

Review 27:No smoking room

Review 28:Everything was to our liking, would have better if could have had smoking room, but overall is was great . Homesteaders restaurant in the same parking lot had excellent food.

Review 29:The way we were treated by the staff who couldn't even speak English the people during the day were nice. As soon as we told them about the blood stains showing on the box spring they were rude and called the cops and they asked us to leave would not of got our money back if it wasnt for the cops being there.they need to learn how to treat guests in america we are not in their country

Review 30:The vending machines were a pain as they did not work properly. You have to travel through the breakfast room, then through the lobby to get to the pool. Best if you have a cover up.

Review 31:travelled to Minot to shop at Hobby Lobby and this hotel was next door , just down the road and next to the highway. Hotel accommodated out request of a room away from noise. Beds were very comfortable. Swimming pool and hot tub were in very good shape and water in pool was a nice temperature.

Review 32:Room smelled musty. A/c unit was covered for the season so no way to cool room. Food being cooked in other rooms (assuming long term stays) felt like we were in an old dorm hall. Would have gotten money back and gone somewhere else but too late and too tired.

Review 33:No complaints.

Review 34:We found it to be very clean. A good selection for breakfast. Went to the Hostfest. Enjoyed the shuttle accomodation. All in all a very good stay.

Review 35:A little more food than just pizza.

Review 36:Boom area of North Dakota. Felt safe and comfortable. Not fancy, but very what I needed. Typical but good breakfast provided. Small bar and eating place on site. Good staff in both.

Review 37:(1) The room had a pervasive stale, damp odor, perhaps related to the air conditioner (needing a filter?), or perhaps because the room was in the basement where the humidity level would be higher. (2) The window was at ground level, so that anyone in the parking lot could see inside; the curtain would not close completely to block the view.

Review 38:The room smelled VERY strongly of cleaning solutions - luckily, the window could be opened

Review 39:Some of the best pillows I've encountered Comfortable bed Great shower

Review 40:Night to morning staff who didn't speak English and had a foreign radio station playing loudly in the lobby made the place seem unfriendly.

Review 41:Near anything you might need to purchase or that may need service - we needed automobile service and found a helpful one near by. Also near many known restaurants. Appreciated breakfast on site. Comfy beds.

Review 42:Staff communicated very poorly with little understanding of English. Wi-fi worked intermittently and extremely slowly. Towels in room were small and threadbare.

Review 43:Easy to get to.

Review 44:At first skeptical, but really enjoyed my stay...friendly staff, waffles! And very quiet hotel....room was nice size, had a fridge which was nice...overall can't complain :)

Review 114:Good location

Review 115:Not Ada friendly, stairs while lugging luggage. Bathrooms damp and mildew smell throughout the rooms. Bathroom small. Sink next to bed, like an afterthought. The shower water pressure was a mere trickle on hot setting. We meant to stay two nights but went elsewhere

Review 116:Creaky bed

Review 117:This Hotel has all the amenities one would need whether an one night stay or longer. Even though the rooms are somewhat dated, it still has what you need.

Review 118:The towels were very skimpy, as was the toilet paper. The side chairs had holes in them and their best before date was past. The breakfast was short of food, such as fruit or yogurt.

Review 119:Location was great. The room and bed were clean. \\\\\\\\\\\\\the staff responded when spoken to.

Review 120:I couldn't sleep. the airconditioner was insufficient to keep the room cool. I would have been better off trying to sleep in my truck.

Review 121:Right off of the highway. It was a fair price, except the A/C was not working well.

Review 122:Didn't really care for having the sink in the room and the bathroom was on the small side. Would have liked some type of meat along with the breakfast.

Review 123:We stayed one night and booked two rooms. It was easy to find, friendly staff and good facilities. Breakfast was nice to have and the price was good for the area.

Review 124:That there is no coffee maker in the room. Luckily I always travel withmy own small coffee maker. Be sure to double check the room beforeleaving because they will not send anything back to you that you mayhave left behind.

Review 125:I stayed on the third floor and it was very quiet. The room was cleanand the bed was very comfortable. I will most likely stay there againwhen visiting Minot.

Review 126:Well there was hair on the sheets and hair in the shower,the room smelled and had mold on the walls in places. The rooms were small and had no thing in them but a bed,small frig and a TV witck was the nices thing there. This place could be nice but it would take a total do, only stay as a last resort that why we stayed there and cut our trip short because of this place. In close if you stay there good luck!!

Review 127:No thing

Review 128:I booked online and on June 24 I phoned the hotel to cancel one night as I had originally booked two nights and could only stay for one. When I got to the hotel they told me I didn't show up for Friday night and would have to pay for two nights because I was supposed to cancel ONLINE. If this is the case, booking.com should tell you that as should have the CSR when I phoned the hotel to cancel. I did not end up having to pay for two nights but it was a good thing I documented the day that I phoned the hotel to cancel.
