9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)
The property was very clean and quiet. There is a very good restaurant just across the parking lot and a nice coffee shop just across the road. It is just a few minutes drive to Souix Falls so you get much more for your money staying just south in Tea at the Gateway Park Hotel and Suites

Great room. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are spacious. The bathrooms are large. Parking spots are extremely tight which we found difficult for our bigger vehicle. There are many restaurants in walking distance. The river walk is clean and very enjoyable.
