Sunlac Inn Lakota

If I could get a 0 star, I would. This place smells of mildew & mold, the front desk worker looked strung out on some sort of *****, the bartenders don't seem to know how to make the simplest cocktails and about the only good upside was the decent food. The second I walked into the building I got nauseous, but I thought I might have been a funky food smell so I decided to stay a bit. I asked the front desk lady and she didn't seem to know how much a room was! She was obviously on something, and I don't seem to understand why she is employed there if she wasn't trained in right! I just decided to try to book a room online somewhere else, but I went to get something eat before I left. The "Bar Manager" (as he called himself) didn't seem very helpful since he was outside smoking pretty much the whole time I was there, so I go help from the other bartender. The food was decent, but honestly I feel bad for the cooks, they should use their talents elsewhere! I wanted to talk to the manager, but someone in the bar told me the manager just hired whoever and wasn't here enough to care, so I shouldn't really bother. I left shortly after being told that. Please don't waste your time and just go a bit further to a hotel in devils lake that at least has a pool, that is preferable not from the roof!

Everything was fine until the morning of check out. Checkout is 11 am and “housekeeping” tried to come bursting into the room without knocking as I was standing there half undressed. I hollered at them saying we were still in the room and not more than 10 minutes later someone tried doing it again. Small town but really? I’ve been a housekeeper at a motel before and you always knocked and assumed someone was in there! The small cafe was good and had pretty darned good food and the bar area was nice as well. Many locals hang out at the bar but that’s what made it fun/interesting.

Went there front desk was locked nobody was there to check in went to then another hotel. I’m glad I didn’t paid before checking in.

fun bar. Really good breakfast restaurant. Best place to stay in the area

I get that help is hard to find. And I get that off-brand motels that run half-full or less have skinny profit margins. But it's not acceptable to smell mildew when you enter the room (and all the way down the hall to the room). It's not OK to find a used towel hanging on the shower rod, and a used bathmat disheveled over the bathtub rim, and a used bar of soap in the shower stall itself. We chose not to shower on that night. The remote entrance doors should be locked overnight (with key access), but they are not. The upside of the place was a decent bar that served a decent burger and that was staffed by nice folks.

Convenience of a restaurant/Cafe on premises. Game cleaning facility needs an overhaul. No running water and very small area to work if there were more than one person cleaning fish or cleaning Game.

I had a nice stay. The building in general seemed a bit dilapidated. Kind of smelly. Room was nice, though. Clean beds, decent shower. Good bar and diner.

Went to the Turkey BBQ in Aneta (40 minutes away), checking in was weird. Had.to check in at the bar in the back. But it was also about 10pm when we arrived. Nothing bad, just a new experience for us. We were entertained by it. The bar tender was extremely friendly, and one of the customers I think offered to help us. Small town charm! The room was clean, the beds were soft and comfortable. I was very surprised honestly. This place has changed since i was a kid! I would definitely stay here again if needed! Our dog Rio was welcomed.

Carpet was soaked, toilet wobbly and bathroom sink drain broke. Bed was comfortable. Service ok.
