After explaining to the clerk that we had a handicapped person in our party, no accommodation was made to provide us with a handicapped room on the first floor.

The lady at the office took the time to move us to what would work. #46 pull thru. we had to lower the nose all the way down on our 5th wheel. But it worked. Cable available *could not get any channel, antenna NO channel. ice is expensive at the RV office. The view was worth the effort. The Bridge Restaurant in the Hotel has great steaks, and salmon dishes. We were told mix review. but a couple of folks from a cattle company stayed in the park, said it's food. It was, 10 ounce sirloin medium well with baked potato and hand crafted brew. Visit the "Alta Lakota museum and cultural center" across the Missouri in Chamberlin. Then close to I-90 @ exit 264 see "DIGNITY of earth &Sky" 50foot Indian maiden. At the visitor center. I would visit again. NOTE: the best level spots are occupied by long term, or summer residents, backed up to the river. There are still good spot, just have to deal with the leveling AND no TV ( Wi-Fi is available)

We got there late and checked in but, THEY GAVE AWAY THE CRIB TO SOMEONE ELSE. They said they had one crib and they didn't see the note that was left and gave it away. I relented and asked for the roll away and she wasn't sure if they had any. She said she would have to call her manager, then she would bring it to the room. About 10 minutes pass and we have already got the kids in the beds and one of them had also discovered half the floor was soaking wet from the A/C unit. She comes to the room and lets us know there is no rollaways and they do not carry them. Absolutely the opposite of what the reservation lady told me. She said she was told she could offer us a different room with a pull out sofa bed in it and we agreed. She asked if we messed up the beds... of course we did! Then told us if we did switch rooms now she would have to charge us for two rooms for the night because they couldn't resell the room. I asked her if she would sell the room knowing it's soaking wet on the floor for half of the room? She said if someone was desperate enough we would let them know. WHAT?!? And it's pretty close to midnight by that time. To top it off there were mosquitoes in the room. It's disgusting this company treats people like this. Will never stay at a Howard Johnson again.

Upon entering my room it looked clean but dated. There was holes in the sheets. Housekeeping def should have noticed bc they tucked the sheet. AC wouldn't kick lower so the room was warm all night. Bathroom door was heavy and bathroom was tiny. Did I mention it smelled like cat piss? Whoever was in the room before me def had a cat. I'm highly allergic to cats. Curtains did not shut all the way. Annoying really. I would have been better sleeping in my car or driving down the highway farther.

We had 4 adults and 4 children so we had 2 separate rooms with 2 queen size beds. I had to leave at 11 in the morning, so I got up after 10, washed my hands, and left on time. Breakfast is between 6am and 9am, so We haven't had it yet. However, my debit card was charged an additional $250. This station is a horrible place where they lie and deduct more money from people's accounts. Tried to contact this hotel to inquire, but could not find anyone in charge. Worst of all, they charged us for smoking in our room. Oh my god is there any idiot who smokes in their child's bedroom???
