They accepted my reservation and said they don’t accept any locals in sd I tried to show them the document of construction happening in my building but refused service

Check in closed at midnight. This was not very well documented especially in a party area full of young college students.

It’s a cool looking place in the reception area until the moment I walked in and the front desk attendant told me to go sit down without greeting me, knew this was going to be a problem. They don’t take American passports. I had to wait before someone on the phone called the front desk attendant to let them know if a room was available. I proceeded to read their reviews while I waited and decided NAW this place is not for me. Hotel.com charged me $106 however hostelworld’s price is only $41. It wasn’t my jam so I left and went somewhere else. DON’T do this place.

Not a good experience
The private rooms only have bunk beds. They charge an extra $5 if you don’t pay the security deposit in cash. The room was extremely hot and no AC. Considering the price I paid, it’s a rip-off.

The room was small as a jail cell, the furniture looked scary to sit on, the mattress was terrible you felt every spring! They water down the liquid soap in bathrooms and in kitchen. The room felt like a sauna! I will NEVER stay there again

They made me wait more 1 hour to check In. The guy told me he had to wait for his boss to know which room were available. Besides, If you check out before 8am, forget your deposit. They open at 8am and nobody will be there to give you those 20 dollars back. I had a flight to take a 5 am. Nobody was a the front desk. I just dropped the keys and left.

4/10 Fair

During the weekend it's great but the week day brought the crazy's and the homeless. They do not have parking like it states however there is parking near by; free on the weekends and late night, pay for limited spot and pay attention to signs for street sweeping. Which will have you moving your car early mornings 3 times a week. It's boring, there was no excitement, and yet I hardly got any rest.

The room smell strong of vagrants. The linens which was supposed to be clean smell like vagrants. The dirty sheets stayed on the bed after people left. Fresh air cannot come into the room so it was do stuffy. And the people at the desk downstairs were not nice.
