I’m a loyal customer of the Dakota Inn but was very disappointed this trip. My room had a fan and an air conditioner that made the room humid and hot. It was unbearable. I also had no light in the bathroom area.

This is an old motel that lacks alot of the amenities that some travelers deem necessary. We are NOT those travelers.. place was clean, comfortable, inexpensive, and had a great staff. All of this AND the world's largest pheasant! Our kind of place... thanks for the great stay. 😁

Don't overlook this place based on the price. It was a clean comfortable room at a great rate. I will be back.
The person who checked me in announced my room number while there were two men in the lobby. These men then followed me out and watched me enter my room. We did not feel safe there. Our room was dirty from the sheets to the bathroom. There was hair in the bed and in the bathroom. The AC did not work. I would not suggest this motel to anyone.
After a day if motorcycling, it was nice to have a warm welcome, cool room, and a beautiful lake to walk around.
I haven't been here long yet, but my only complaint is that there is no vent in the bathroom.
This property should not be part of the Expedia listings unless many updates are made! 40 years ago has come and gone, and the property has been allowed to deteriorate!
While staying at this motel, we were bitten by bed bugs! Room had trash under one bed when we checked in. Front desk clerk was nowhere to be found so we had to wait an hour to check in!!
Stay at the Big Pheasant! Its the perfect place to stay if your on a motorcycle trip. Park right outside your door and the best rate in Huron. I’ve stayed here at least 20 times and it’s always the same.

It was fine for an overnight stay. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good. Only complaint was our shower. The bathtub had a liner in it and water had collected underneath so it felt like we were on a paddle board while showering. I did alert the front desk as it could create a dangerous fall due to instability.
