“Not that nice!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

We stayed at the Dakota Sioux Casino & Hotel in early June of 2010. The rooms were warm as if the air conditioning was not working. They did let us try a second room but it was still hot and hard to sleep due to the temperature. The pillows were "cheap" with little support and the beds were hard. There was no Frig in either room and the decor was very dark, as in there was really no good lighting to read by. Forget about eating at the buffet! The food was horrible with many items being over cooked and just barely warm. The staff were not overly hospitable and failed to respond in a timely manner regarding the air conditioner.

Stayed June 2010, travelled as a couple

We stayed at this hotel on a promotional package form the Casino itself. Very large, clean rooms, personable staff, and we even had a fridge and safe in our room. Casino was clean and casino staff was friendly.

“Clean New Hotel at a GREAT Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2007

I know reading long reviews isn't fun, so I'll start with pros/cons.

Pros:
1. Cheap room (69.00 for a Saturday night by getting 10.00 off when joining their players club thing).
2. Newer hotel so the room was clean and fresh smelling.
3. Central air and heat instead of those window / floor units.
4. Decent pressure in shower.
5. A safe was in the room for valuables.
6. Small refrigerator in room.
7. Casino was nice - poker room not smoky at all.
8. Staff was very friendly (front desk and casino workers)

Cons:
1. Air vent in room blew right on the bed.
2. Firm bed and firm pillows (needed to be pillowtop)
3. Deli - breakfast food wasn't all that good, but cheap with coupons from joining players club.
4. Noise from adjoining rooms (showers, etc.) - common in many hotels though so not a huge deal.

Recommended: YES. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here one Saturday night with my girlfriend while we were visiting her parents. This hotel/casino is pretty much in the middle of nowhere (about 5 miles north of the city). It's a newer hotel (less than a year old when we stayed) and it was clean. The room was pretty much a standard hotel room. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was pillowtop mattresses. We stayed in a Standard King-Bed Non-Smoking Room. Since this was a newer hotel, I figured they would have pillowtop beds at least. No huge deal though, it was still comfortable to sleep in. It has central air/heat which was nice, but the vent blew right on the bed. In the morning, we ate at the deli. The food there wasn't all that great, but it was cheap. I remember hearing noises from the other rooms (showers, etc.) in the morning so we couldn't sleep in, but we did sleep through the night. If you sign up for their players card, you get 10.00 off your stay, which made our 1 night (Saturday even) at a whopping 69.00 + tax. This hotel was easily worth that. I would have paid 99.00 for it. The casino was nice too. Not a big casino, but it had plenty of blackjack tables; and the poker room was offset just enough from the rest of the casino that smoke wasn't an issue in it.

  • Liked — Price was just right and it was clean.
  • Disliked — Bed could have been nicer
