Ya'll I'm at it again, travelin' and marvelin' at all the great places there are to have 5 Star Fun on a dime, CASE IN POINT...Cottonwood Inn & Suites. There's a wicked cool full-service Cottonwood & Shipwreck Pub & Casino next door with weekend entertainment. Open seven days a week with a restaurant and convenience store. From the huge outdoor Tiki Bar, I was able to admire the Lewis & Clark Marina located directly across the street. There moored are hundreds of beautiful sailboats and various watercraft bobbing and swaying in the waters of the Lewis and Clark Lake fed by the Missouri River. All this while sipping my favorite cool one and listening to some awesome outdoor speakers and the banter and laughter of vacationers and guests. My room was brand new 2012, sparklin' clean and pet friendly. Gotta mention the microwave, coffee pot, fridge, flat screen TV and free WiFi, 2 beds with cushy linens and pillows and a private bath. Lots of close parkin' and it's walkin' distance from other amenities too! The hotel & pub are a few mere feet from the 1200 plus acre Lewis & Clark Recreation Area. Not only is this a fun summer vacation place they are open all winter due to the abundant winter sports available in the area. Ya'll... I love, love, love this place!!! www.cottonwoodinnsuites.com was given to me by the Chamber of Commerce www.yanktonsd.com

I should've known we'd have problems based on the call I made to make a reservation, but I had…read morepractically no other choice because I waited too long to find a place for my family to stay. When making my reservation, the teenager didn't really know what to do and almost hung up before I could give him my name. We reserved the deluxe suite because we needed three beds. When we arrived, we were amazed to find that our suite was in the basement. Even worse, the door to our room was merely an interior door with lock, not secure at all! We were more surprised to find that our "suite" was merely one average-sized room with a kitchenette. The furnishings were beat up, but the room seemed clean and the a/c worked. We needed the a/c always running to keep the humidity down in this basement room. They advertise two queen beds, but there were two full beds with thin mattresses. The uncomfortable sofa bed had only a fitted sheet and no pillow. I went looking for someone related to the motel and was scolded for not asking for help at the counter of the mini-mart (beer mart/pizza joint). The woman continued to be unhelpful by telling me we had no need for the sofa bed since four people could sleep in the two queen beds. By this point, I was angry and argued back that they were full beds and that we need the rest of the bedding for the sofa bed as well as more towels. While we were at dinner, we got two more towels, a second fitted sheet, and two pillows; no flat sheet and no blanket. We stayed for three nights and got no service to our room. We needed to ask for more soap, shampoo, and conditioner. On the second night, the toilet started to leak and leaked when our neighbor flushed. The basement laundry flooded and nearly reached our room. Their web site says "the best Yankton has to offer." At the price they're asking, I expected a true two-room suite with two queen beds on one room and the sofa bed and kitchenette in another room since they claim "pamper yourself in the comfort and charm of some of South Dakota's most pleasant hotel lodging accommodations." I think not!

There's also viewing balconies to look at the dam and the water. It's great to people-watch the people on the water. There's a small gift shop area that sells postcards, books, and other goodies.

Just on most recent stop we didn't even go into the center, we just utilized the park and covered picnic table area. It is a little dated, but the staff is young and super friendly. Learning about the army corp is super fascinating to me, and the whole dam system, it's very informative.
