Not worth a second stop.

The staff was very friendly, but didn’t make up for the hotel. The most images online are fake and not what it really looks like. There was no sign outside annd the place looked closed. Most of the rooms were under renovation. One of our rooms did not have a chain lock or deadbolt and the shower was very yellow. Ceiling tiles were held together with tape or spray foam. Fridge was held shut with duct tape. Beds were two different heights. We only had one light. The only thing nice in the room was the flooring.

I stayed at this hotel because I was in Winner, South Dakota to go pheasant hunting with my dog. The hotel is absolutely accommodating for hunters with dogs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has a very good continental breakfast. I will stay in Knights Inn the next time I am hunting in Winner. South Dakota.

No signage. Couldn’t find the hotel name, and when we did find it, it was a different name. Dirty sheets, stained, rebar sticking up in the parking area. The key didn’t work in the lock until you jiggled it several times. No refund.

Staff was nice during check in, office was not labeled and checked in a restaurant/bar. Grungy parking lot, definitely didn’t look safe. Likely it is from the 70’s with very little updates. Pillow case and sheets were clean but had minor stains. It was more of an accidental booking and we couldn’t cancel.

I went to Winner, South Dakota to go pheasant hunting. I brought my bird dog with me and it was no problem having her in the room (pet friendly). There were no real negatives to the room and I will stay there the next time I am in Winner. There is a Subway restaurant in the parking lot adjoining the hotel. There is a McDonalds one block away for morning coffee.

Hard to locate. Had 3 different names on the building...Knight's Inn, Warrior Inn and Prairie Sky Pub. Would been nice, but pub closed 10 years ago. Ugly gravel parking lot, broken concrete. Old, not well kept. Checked beds--bed bugs! Offered me a different room, but this place simply creeped me out. Couldn't do it. Would not give a refund, so I guess I'm out $78.

The staff were friendly and helpful. We simply needed a place to sleep on our way to Minneapolis. It met that need. The hotel is tired, not a problem. I'd be happy with the tired facilities if it were a little cleaner. It wasn't terrible, but bath looked like it could use scrubbing. There was a rodeo in town and a little partying, but that wasn't the hotel, thats just the time we were there.

Pretty dirty and bad stay

This was probably one of our worst hotel stays we’ve ever had, and we’ve stayed in a few dives. The sink did not work, nor did the tv, and the wall adjacent to the toilet had a large 12”x36” segment of drywall missing, leaving the plumbing and internal workings exposed. The bathroom was pretty dirty, and the floor throughout the room was dingy, causing our feet to turn black when walking in socks or bare feet while in our room. No one was there to check us in, and instead you just dialed a number from the desk where all the keycards were laid out…the person didn’t actually come out to check us in. Breakfast in the morning was a bunch of Little Debbie/hostess cakes, cupcakes, and twinkies. Only like bread and pre packaged oatmeal for like a “real” or even remotely healthy food to eat…no fruit, no bagels. Just slices of bread or a package of oatmeal for anything that wasn’t a little Debbie snack!

The staff was very nice in that we were busy and I called and they left room key out for us for a late check in. However, we get to the room and there were dead bugs all over. Two of the pillowcases were stained with something black. Cosmetically, the motel is old, but paint would go a long ways. It was very uncomfortable and we decided to not stay second night due to the uncleanliness and dead bugs all over our room. We checked for bed bugs per other reviews and didn’t see any. However, I woke with some very itchy bites on my foot and ankle. I was told they wouldn’t refund me our second night stay and we should have woke someone at midnight when we arrived about the bug situation. Had the other hotel in town not been sold out due to class reunions, we would have went elsewhere.

The staff at Knight was super friendly and accommodating. I arrived late (almost mid-night) for check-in and I needed a place to work on my computer the next day after check-out time. The staff was able to make arrangement to suit my needs. I very much appreciated all their help! They also recommended places for me to grab food during the day. I like the Diner they recommended.

I admit that this motel is not much to look at from the outside, but our rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The lady
who checked us in was courteous and friendly.

If you don't require \"fancy\" and just want a decent and affordable place to stop over with the family for a night, this place is for you.

Staff was very nice, room was clean, there was some construction going on but wasnt loud. Went to get in hottub there was a greenish grime around the edge of the hot tub disgusting didnt even want to get in after seeing that. There was so much chlorine in the pool my eyes and my cousins eyes they were immediately red eye drops wouldnt even clear them up. They burnt for hours after even putting a cold wash rag didnt help. The pool stated there were toys for the kids to play with but there were no toys so we went and bought some and left them there for other people to play with. Room was 119 a night when i had another family member only pay 55. Rather concerning bit we had already left before we discussed what we had paid. The bar/resturant was closed but Overall happy with the stay.

Cat pee smell is overwhelming

Upon first arrival of walking in the door there was a strong overwhelming smell of cat urine. We had to wait in the lobby for 5 minutes just to be told by the girl that the main check in lady wouldnt be there for 30 minutes. So we quickly got out of there and went to eat. Now you might be thinking why not just cancel the room and go elsewhere, well when you book through hotels.com, you only have a 24 hour prior window to cancel a room, and being as we was there the day of the booking we couldnt cancel. So we came back, got in our room and had to have them come down to hook up our air conditioner. The first night sleeping in this room wasnt very comfortable. The beds had a feeling of dampness to them. The rooms look very old like there has never been a remodel of any sort. If at all possible i would recommend anyone traveling in this area to avoid this motel at all costs, the cat pee smell is overwhelming and will get you sick to your stomach, the dampness feeling in the beds will make for a long night.

Warrior Inn needs first aid

When we arrived it was a little difficult to find as we had lived around that area years ago and was thinking that it was located at a different spot. When we pulled up to the building, i thought that there was either construction going on or the place was abandon and I had been swindled out of my money. The parking lot was in extremely terrible condition, which was because the snow removal people tore it up in the snow removal process. Had bit of trouble knowing which was the office entry. I went in and it was like a ghost motel, I couldn't locate any staff or desk.I returned to the desk and called the motel on my cell and they came out of the room behind the counter. I reserved on line ,so check in was quick and didn't have to fill out a registration slip, which was different for me. The room was clean and comfortable enough. It's called the Warrior Inn and it shows its 40 +years of battle scars. I have no problem with an older motel, but they need to be maintained and updated,even if they only remodeled a few each year. They advertised a lounge, swimming pool and spa and all were closed during our stay. Room had a tv, micro, and refrig, which was nice,but like a lot of motels all that electrical stuff is shoved onto a single electric power strip.

The front desk person did not make me feel welcome the moment I walked in to pay for my stay. very distant and unfriendly. She kept saying she's not going to argue with me, when I calmly stated the facts of the room. The room smelled of gasoline, the carpet was filthy and had candy wrappers along the bed, after front desk person sent me to the room again to show the housekeeper, I found more trash along the wall of headboard.! very upsetting, I was tired, looked forward to sit and relax in hot tub, this was out of service, the pool was out of service.

Very good considering where we were!

It is your basic hotel, found it to be the lowest rate around that area within 150 miles. It is easy to find in middle of town, plenty of parking space, had a small casino and bar/grill restaurant with it. We found the place to be clean and service was good at front desk no problems. Hotel amenities were basic but that is all we needed anyway, you will have to bring your own hair dryer. Did have free wi fi internet. Had an indoor pool that was nice. I would stay there again and would recommend it, realize this is just your basic no frills but comfortable small town hotel, it was clean and it was reliable for what we needed and beds and rooms and bathrooms were clean and the tv was working so we were happy and it was very quiet.
