Disliked: Staff & service
We went to check in and no one was there. We called the number on the door and there was no answer. We left a message and no one called us back. Luckily we found somewhere else to stay.
Room clearly hadn't been serviced. The trash cans outside were overfilling with trash and never addressed. Beds were clean, but that's about it. Defiantly NOT worth the money. There's also clearly people living in these rooms. I'd avoid this place. The picture are very deceiving.

Nice clean small property. Very late check-in (after 9 pm). No problem at all. Called office. Staff was there after 2 minutes. Very nice and friendly. Pet friendly. Only $10 fee for dog. No issue with a 45 lb dog. Stayed one night only on a Road Trip. Would book it again. Thank you!
Modest '50s style older strip motel. Clean, comfortable. Hostess - helpful and gracious. Great for dog. Direct exit to outside. Good place to walk dog. Low pet fee.
Canistota is only 5 miles or so from I-90, but it has a very remote feel. Dog wanted to go out at 2 am. The streets are lit, but the silence is deep. Nothing was moving and traffic noise from the interstate didn't travel to Canistota.
Internet OK. Ookla 14 Mbps. Occasionally dropped."
We ended up arriving quite late and we were able to call ahead to let them know and they had the keys ready for us and processed our payment so we could get into the trim and settled right away.
U bar was a nice quiet place for overnight stay during our travel across South Dakota. Worked out well for us. Easy check in and reasonable priced. Only negative is that it was a little off our path but was an easy drive to and from I 90.
Hotel very bad I don’t recommend when I came there was no one in the office the office really dirty they say that the breakfast is free and it’s not true and the place where the breakfast is very dirty and dusty outside the hotel very very dirty I had to cancel my stay in this hotel of how dirty it is and I had to pay for one night for charges I don’t recommend very bad hotel
Called 3 times to number for desk with no answer. When i showed up office was locked and a young man came and booked me in saying his mom was gone. On speaker phone she gave him a room to put us in and said it was cleaned and ready. The room was absolutely filthy and no way it had been cleaned at all. Upon checkout again the office was empty with nobody to check out with so i just left. They had no breakfast to offer even though the booking said it did...the young man was nice and helpful but that was the only good thing.
This is our 2nd stay because the staff is so friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. There are other choices in town, but these people are kind and truly appreciate your business.
It looked like it was just remodeled it was clean..

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The manager was very accommodating. She quickly took care of all requests. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The bath towels were soft and fluffy. The HVAC was very noisey. We had to run it for awhile and then shut it off to be able to hear each other and to sleep. Not sure if it was just in out room, or all. We didn't speak to the manager about it - just dealt with it.
