This property was like staying where a bunch of junkies stay. Old people and junkies, everywhere. I would not stay there again. Not all the rooms are updated and the halls were filthy.

One of best price values ever!
My only hesitation in raving about The Dakota too much is a fear that they’ll raise their rates too high for me to return! I have stayed in hundreds of hotels through the years and this is one of my favorites. The outside grounds are only so so and I think they do themselves a disservice with the condition of their blacktop. The inside is kept very clean. The breakfast isn’t elaborate, but very good. The suite I stayed in is excellent. Not a full fridge but a good sized one (see picture). Huge microwave. Quiet, convenient location. Recommend highly!

The hotel is updating the rooms. Our room had a stain on the white curtain. The shower/bath was a bit small but worked well. The pool was nice and the water slide was very good. No hot food for breakfast. Coffe was good.

You get what you pay for.
Hotel was a stop over on a cross country trip. Definitely not a place I would stay for more than a night. Room had no trash cans. Doesn’t seem like a big deal until you don’t have one! Seemed short staffed. Had to call a number to let front desk know you were waiting for service. Room needed updating. Some things were closed but not removed like the water slide. Looked like they were in the middle of a remodel though. Breakfast choices just packages processed foods. Would pay the extra 20$ and stay somewhere else.

Not certain if in remodel stage or not. Bathroom door veneer hanging off, snag clothes & sharp enough to cut hand. Bathroom was clean. Carpet stained, need either well vacuumed & cleaned or just replaced. Bed bottom sheet appeared unclean. Empty bottle of controlled substance found in room - did tell front desk. Ice machine tray needs replaced - broken making it difficult to clean from the appearance of it. TV did not work but very nice & polite maintenance man came very quickly & replaced tv. Hotel was quiet. Hallway was updated with wood laminate, clean & nice appearance. Easy to check in. Attendant was polite. Beautiful outdoor patio/sitting area!! Not certain if would book with hotel again without an look at the hotel & rooms prior to booking. Even at the good price to stay!!!

Bed was comfy and bathroom/shower newly redone and very clean. There was a very faint smell of smoke - not sure if it was from wildfire smoke or live-in guests smoking where they should not. Overall good stay; would probably stay again if only for one night. Very convenient to both north-south and east-west interstate highways.

Don’t skip out on this one.
Like many I got the room because of the cheap price. It was one night in a long trip and wasn’t expecting much and it wasn’t required. As you can tell the place is an older building but they have done some nice upgrades and I was extremely happy with it. It was one of the cleanest hotels I’ve been in recently and I’ve spent 4-5 times more a night on lesser rooms and service. The pool looks awesome but I didn’t have time to try it
