The rooms were not cleaned well! Old dried out contacts were in the floor (so gross!), garbage never got taken out, house keeping did not enter our room once. The room was very hot. The entire hotel was extremely hot! We stay here once a year, and this was our worst experience. Will probably stay at one of the surrounding hotels next year!

Nice rooms and pool. Maintenance crews took all the parking for landscaping work. Front desk was understaffed during “peak Checkin hours” as the only person working kept answering the phone instead of waiting on customers in the lobby waiting to check in and was frustrated with the phone ringing and kept telling people he would call them back because it was peak Checkin hours - like it was their fault for the time they called.

The hotel in general is okay. Breakfast buffet was good. Front end staff was rude as hell at check in. Few days later check out, I checked my account and the hotel put a charge thru for $5.44. We did T but or room charge anything. Reported as fraud to my bank.

Great gem

I wasn't expecting the Ramkota to be so nice. For the price in a small town I was expecting something mildly sketchy that was at best a dry place to sleep. I was actually very impressed. The staff is great. The entire place is clean and updated. The pool area is beautiful and so relaxing. The space is large enough that even with several groups and kids enjoying themselves in the pool it didn't feel crowded. Highly recommend the poolside rooms. They have some really cute affordable room service specials as well. There is a great walking path to the river just across the parking lot. We went on a nature walk at La Framboise island and it was wonderful. There is also a movie theater within walking distance and while it isn't a mega theater with 27 screens it's very affordable, nicely updated, and the staff was very nice. We picked the Ramkota for a convenient stop for our actual destination but found a place that we will be returning to again because it was just so nice and we underestimated the number of things that we could do right there in Pierre.
