I recently started staying overnight in Pierre once every two weeks. When I searched for a Corporate Lodging hotel, this is the only one shown, so it is where I stayed. The first thing I noticed when walking into the room was a green pillow with a stain that looked like male bodily fluid. Then when I opened the drapes,... More

Thanks for bring these housekeeping items to our attention and they have been taken care of. We had a busy weekend and it changed all day long, we would be full one hour and have a open room the next. We didn't turn you away just for the fun of it, the parking lot may have been empty at the... More

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is traveling with small children and likes a hassle free vacation. Rooms are tidy and clean. We had a fridge and microwave in ours - great for warming leftovers for snacks for the kids. Staff is friendly and used to kids. Free breakfast is awesome. The usual bagels, cereal, fruit etc. PLUS... More

I stayed for 3 nights in January 2013. Our room was on the north side ground floor with an outside access. We had a dorm refrigerator and microwave. Even though we are a stones throw from the railroad track, I don't recall any problem with train noise. The continental breakfast room is large and clean with the usual selections. Overall... More

Nice improvements being made recently to the lobby and check-in areas. New flat screen TVs in the rooms. They've got a nice sized meeting room if you're looking for a place for your group to meet. Good breakfast and friendly staff.

Clean and pretty quite, this less then brand new hotel is just fine. Our room was a good temp. the traffic was not to loud, and we had plenty of space to spread out. Going running across the way to the Island was a perfect escape from the Tourism Conferance I was just at.

After reading all of the reviews of this Inn, I have to say I was disappointed with my stay. The hallways were a little messy with piles of old TV's and old air conditioning units stacked in some areas. The second floor ice maker was out of order. The room itself was dank and the beds were not very comfortable.... More

Just returned from Pierre, SD where we enjoyed a great three day stay at the Governor's Inn. Clean, friendly, and reasonably priced. Great breakfast. Spent a night at a much larger hotel on the way home and their breakfast was pale compared to what the Governor's Inn puts out! Location was so convenient and everybody was great...the kids loved it.... More
