Upon checking in, even though we booked and paid through hotels.com, we were charged an additional $27 “ammenities fee” — for what? I still have no idea. They just repeated “amenities fee”. The room was as described and was relatively clean. The bathroom was very small but needs maintenance for tiles on the wall by the bathtub that are broken off. If anything, it’s outdated and unsightly. The bed was decent and the sheets were clean. The fridge was clean and kept drinks cold. We didn’t use the microwave. Our suite had 2 tvs which was convenient unless you wanted to watch different shows. This IS a dog friendly hotel which seems to be the case for most hotels in Pierre. However, our first night, there was a dog in the pool area and since my child is allergic to dog saliva - we could not use the pool. The first night there, there were children running and jumping in the room above us for about an hour. I tried calling down to the front desk and there was no answer ever for 20 minutes. I finally confronted the occupants in the room above us after 45 minutes (when it had passed “quiet time” hours and it took another 20 minutes but that seemed to resolve the issue. No - the hotel staff never knew because they weren’t even at the desk when I looked down at it from my floor.
Breakfast in the morning was less than spectacular. It has your basics: cereal, packets of oatmeal, one working waffle iron, and the one staff member did his best to keep the milk fridge stocked
