Hotel stay was great, with a good breakfast. Service at the bar/lounge left some to be desired. Staff seemed confused and shorthanded.

Recently updated rooms
The property appears to have been recently remodeled. Decent rooms. Comfortable beds. Maybe a bit too soft for my taste. The breakfast was on par or better than other hotels at the same price point. I didn't not use the restaurant or pool facilities. Blackout curtains but there was some truck noise from the highway in front of the hotel. If you want a quieter room, request one on the back side of the property. If I need to travel to Pierre again, I would stay at this property.

No elevator and we’re over 65 with stuff to haul up the stairs. Requested ground floor, but didn’t get that.

The resort fee is ridiculous. The continental breakfast was understaffed and ran out of food. The breakfast sausage was pale and looked raw. The pizza is so good. We added hamburger and bacon. They gave us a discount coupon in our room. They have happy hour also on deals for drinks and appetizers.

I got a room by the pool for the weekend and Saturday afternoon the pool was shut down for the rest of the weekend. I was hoping for a discount or coupon or just something since we paid extra to be put pool side

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.
