The Dakota

We came late at night and the staff greated us with comfort.

I stayed in this hotel with my family shortly after it was built. It was a lovely hotel with a beautiful courtyard, fun pool and waterslide area, great staff and a nice breakfast area. My how the years have worn this place down. Taking a drive around the property shows the exterior neglect, and a brief walk inside shows the interior neglect. Couple this with cheap rates, noisy kids and dogs, folks who obviously call this place home, and doors continually propped open as if to share their stay with everyone, and you can't help but wonder what happened. Our room was fine, but this whole place is run down and needs to be refurbished. It's not a real convenient location to much of anything, other than the interstate. The staff is fine, and we got checked in after just a few minutes wait. The breakfast leaves A LOT to be desired. They have a wonderful breakfast area, very nice actually, but hardly anything to actually eat. Cold cereal, bread and bagels, a bowl of apples, and orange juice, that's about it. It barely suffices as a continental breakfast and leaves a lot to be desired. If you like coffee, they have a nice little coffee bar, and the gal taking care of the area was nice and friendly. This place used to be a top-notch hotel. It's been left to rot, and now a person can see why it's one of the cheapest places to stay in town. Staff - ok, Room - ok, Hotel - needs a lot of work...

Hotel is dated but for the money no complaints. Well the pillows really suck. Please change to full size pillows. It would greatly improve the experience

My room was nice. Price for my 2night stay was nice so I didn't expect luxury. Hair dryer didn't work and there were alot of tools and repairs in the hallway. But we were there for swimming and waterslide and my granddaughters enjoyed both to the fullest. I will return.

Lady at front desk thought spending time with here friend on phone was more important than taking care of my needs

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but did not heat very well in the cold temps. The hallway was freezing cold and constantly filled with smoke. Talked to staff about rooms around being loud and fighting in the night as well as smoking indoors. I was informed that they had squatters in the surrounding rooms that they could not evict. The wing with the breakfast bar was warm and clean. The hotel only had a few others staying so I don’t know if my using this app to get a discount is why we were given the bad wing or what. I usually stay at the holiday inn but wanted the slide for my kid which was down anyways. I will never book here again.

We had to cancel due to weather and they didn't try to take the deposit or anything which is much more honest and kind than some of the large hotels. Such good people

Pool and slide were great. Breakfast was very basic cereal toast bagels coffee etc. Building is in need of professional repair not handyman repair. I received a fraud alert from Discover the morning that I stayed there for a fuel depot in Texas. The only place I had used my card was to reserve my room. Maybe just a coincidence.

We had a very large group of kids and we enjoyed the pool and the slide VERY much. The pool water was warm and the pool area was very clean. You need a staff member to open the pool area for you which may be an inconvenience for some but with our group having 10 children in the hotel it gave me peace of mind that the older ones couldn't just run off and let themselves in unsupervised. The staff was very friendly and we had a great time!!
