Corn Palace Inn

Do not ever stay at the Corn Palace Inn in Mitchell SD. Travelpass booked it for us. We asked them for the Comfort Inn and they booked us into this place. The room was so bad and smelled so bad we couldn't even stay the night and they refused to give us our money back. There were people sitting outside the rooms smoking cigarettes and looking pretty shady. It was the worst hotel we have ever been to. We wound up going down the road to the Holiday Inn express and got the last room there costing us an additional $245. Travelpass is not a site I would ever use again.

Had to book an overnight as decent hotels full. Pathetic! Got a room - people in it. Meanwhile, the same thing was happening to another party! Took us to another - filthy & sink clogged. Found one that was open - reeked with rancid smoke, carpet filthy and tub didn't drain. Tolerated the night. Breakfast skimpy. Couldn't leave fast enough. Should be shut down by the state!

Been staying at this motel for going on 2 weeks. Also been waiting to write a review until we check out, however writing the review early. There is alot of stuff that workers attempt to get customers kicked our for through means of manipulating hotel management by lying to them while knowing there to busy alot of the time. Management seems to be respectful, I've been trying to avoid employees however there issues seem to be unavoidable and they seem to attempt to control management through the means of there manipulation. Spilled coffee outside today and even got targeted for a simple accident. There is only 1 female employee that seems to work at the motel. She seems to be an good gal, brought food to our room randomly and unexpectedly due to our situation and the issues the workers are causing. Front desk employees seem to be major culprets. Also the motel seems to be prejiduce towards guests that stay simply due to the resignations and where the funding comes from. Motel could be making alot more revenue then it is and the rooms could all possibly be booked because it is a nice motel, just needs better workers aside from that gal and management. Housekeepers seem to do a great job. Front desk employees chase away guests thus affecting the motels revenue. Would leave probably a 4 to 5 star rating aside from the laziness, issues, and lack of work ethic of the front desk employees. It all seems to stem from them not wanting to work or thinking there somehow better then everyone due to the fact they get to sit all day on there cell phone while other employees do all the work. And then try playing the wool over managements eyes on top of it. I would still refer people to stay at the motel, however they have such a major issue with the lobby workers being lazy that they basically don't serve breakfast and I would cautious booking a room here.

Quiet, comfortable, nice size room and more! I was going to be late in arriving at my scheduled time; I called back and had a friend call the Inn.. She returned my call a few minutes later! "You cannot believe how kind, helpful and caring these people are!" They had told her that if he comes in after ten, 10:00pm there is a black mail box with all he needs in there ... also number on door to call and we will be right in to let him into his room and insure he is comfortable. I had asked for a first floor room and that is where I was put in..... I am 86 years old and a little crippled..... You just couldn't go wrong staying here...and then, visit the Corn Palace for more fun.

We liked the room and price, but we and some hunters were left to buy breakfast in a local restaurant, because no one showed up at the breakfast room we were told would be served. We talked to another patron that said it was normal not to be able to count on breakfast. We tried getting an answer on the phone by the office, no luck, so we went there and found a sing saying closed until 9:00 am, but it was still closed when we finally left at 11:00 leaving the key cards in the room. The moral of the story......we still paid as much as other good hotels in the area by paying an extra $25 for a larger breakfast than we wanted.
