This was a great place to stay! It’s not fancy but has everything you could ask for. Beds were comfortable, breakfast was good, rooms were clean, and price was fantastic! Staff were very accommodating and about as kind as you’ll ever find. We stayed for two nights and would definitely recommend.

Excellent customer service, so friendly. Easy check-in, updated rooms, new lighting, furniture, beds..., oh, the bed was so comfortable that I called weeks after our stay to find out what brand it was. I would stay here again if I'm ever back in the area. Affordable, quiet, walking distance to food and fuel.

Liked: Cleanliness
The lodge and accommodations were surprisingly impressive especially for their price point. Staff was very helpful and friendly and served a decent continental breakfast. The room was as nice as my usual Hampton Inn rooms with a new mattress, recently installed shower/ tub, heated massage reclining chair and a big screen tv with many channels. Yes I will definitely stay with them again during my next visit to Mitchell, SD.
