Awesome place. Friendly staff. There wasn't allot of info on the actual room. Room was nice and clean. How ever it was a little small and we had to keep the bedroom doors open because there's only ac in the living room. Other than that it was a cool place. I would go back. They don't charge for parking, that's a big plus in SD.

Everyone was so kind and helpful! I did have to get them to show me how the ceiling fan worked, but they were more than happy to do it :) Would have been nice if the pool was headed, we did visit in February, and it was colder than I was hoping. Hot tub was nice and warm after a long day at the nearby Safari

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location is great. But this is really a two star place if that. They are trying, but there is trash around and non professional construction all over. Its really the price. If it werent 400 a night it could be justified.. It is short staffed and run by one woman who is kinda snobby. Cool land, cabns and buildings. But it wouldn’t take too much to clean up the plan, do some real landscaping and really make it into an oasis. So much potential! We picked up a bunch of trash up by the silver dome that is totally neglected . Quite run down overall, but great vibe.
