It was being renovated and hotel as a whole was a mess and hard to get around in the hotel. Continental breakfast was pretty bad. I can see maybe doing one part of the hotel to fix but the whole hotel was being worked on. I know for sure I would have not stayed there and should have been made aware by someone that it was a mess

Dirty room
Our room was not very clean. There was a shred of bubble wrap on the floor and the bathroom had about 8 strands of hair on the ground.

Look elsewhere
Absolutely terrible! The hotel is under construction and we stayed room with a hallway full of debris and our room was full of drywall dust. The door had so much drywall caked on it that we could barely open it. Our first room had blood on the sheets and the our second room had a dirty bathroom and there was hair on the pillow case and sheets. Very disappointing and definitely not worth the money we paid.

Are they trying to chase customers away?
I’ve stayed at the Ramona on trips through South Dakota for 22 years because I travel with my dog. Since my las stay they’ve moved the rooms for people with dogs to the very furthest point away from the grassy area to walk them.
I arrived late but in the wee hours of the morning following an 11 hour drive and had to argue with management to be allowed to check-in befor 3pm, even though I was already being charged.
The room was in horrible condition, filthy and torn carpet, broken outdoor doorway seal that fell and flapped every time I opened and closed the door.
Hopefully I will never stay there again.

Staff were super friendly, the room we were in was not a handicap room but was big enough where a manual wheelchair can get through the room and to the beds and up to the sink.

The pool was warm and large. This is not your average hotel and it is unique in a good way. There is space to roam throughout the facility with the large pool and sitting rooms. Some guest rooms are accessible directly from the parking lot and some accessible through an indoor hallway. Our room had two exit doors. One to the hallway and one that went to the pool, which was nice for the kids.

Check in was average. Rooms were clean and there was a hand written note from housekeeping. Our room had water damage on the ceiling and wall. The room was super quiet even though we stayed poolside. Pool was clean. Bed was pretty uncomfortable but they have signs up that they are remodeling. Hopefully this will fix the issues.

A good hotel for the money.
It is an older property that's still in great shape. Our room has a hall entrance and also a lobby entrance. We didn't have time to use it, but the e exercise room was decent. It had weights, in addition to some equipment. It had a full service restaurant. Also you could go to the lobby and get coffee whenever you want.
