I have stayed at many different places when we travel: and none as bad as this one. From the elevator sounding like it was going to die every time it stopped at our floor, to the breakfast being just terrible. When we first arrived I was not informed that due to the hotel being an extended stay hotel they only do house keeping twice a week. And, so the two nights I was there we did not get any fresh towels or clean trash cans or toilet paper. My family includes 5 of us, normally 6. So imagine my shock when we came back to the room after spending the day out and about to find our room still the same no freshly made beds or trash taken out or clean towels. And, breakfast didn’t even have the basics. It was BRAN cereal and hard boiled eggs and coffee that was all that was there when we came down. And, we checked a few different times. Basic breakfast would have been better than nothing when I had to pay $200 a night, due to sturgis being in town. When I brought it up to the manager on duty when I was checking out, she literally told me there was nothing she could do, because it was an extended hotel, and house keeping only goes through twice a week, and we have to request services. I let her know I was unaware of this at check in. No compensation or a kind of help was offered what so ever. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Unless absolutely needed or desperate.

Decent hotel. The suite had a dishwasher and small stove.The air conditioner was very loud when it came on like something was wrong with it. Breakfast left a little to be desired, only cold items.

The Coffee is terrible. Seriously, it may be the worst coffee I have ever had. Coffee this bad is a choice. The breakfast options overall are much more limited than is typical of a hotel in this price range. The location is also very difficult to get to - you have to drive through the parking lot of a different hotel, and it is not clearly marked. We drove around the hotel 3 times before figuring out how to actually get in. We would not stay here again.

The room was nice, I really liked the the kitchenette with the full fridge. The breakfast was not good all cold foods, nothing special. Nothing was restocked, so get there early. The guest laundry was not working. I had to take the days off dirty laundry to the next hotel we stayed at. For the cost, we will not stay here again.

Very clean and up to date place! We loved the room and the space and the little kitchen was very helpful! Only negatives about this place was that the breakfast is not very good and they don’t have a hot tub. Otherwise, it was great!
