The place was very dated, but don't let that stop you from staying here. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. Very affordable compared to other hotels. The breakfast was typical hotel breakfast, but enough to fuel us up for a long drive. I will stay again if I am ever back in Mitchell.

We stayed here as a quick stopover on our way back from the trip, and it was a great choice. The hotel is conveniently located in the center of town with plenty of restaurants nearby. It was newly renovated and rooms were clean and beautiful. It’s also very close to the Corn Palace, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay. Breakfast was free and good!
