The Sojourn SD

“It’s a renovated motel, it’s better than just a hotel room, however needed some maintenance, furniture was ok but particle board and a bit worn, tv was excellent, shower water pressure was awesome, the AC didn’t work until morning. The room had a fan which helped enormously. The pans need replaced (aluminum with peeling tephlon anti stick). Overall it worked for us after visiting Mt. Rushmore. Just happened to hit the area during Sturgis- lots of Motercycles which was cool just makes the price for lodging higher. Just don’t expect 5 stars but definitely 3 star and fair price.”

“Great location,first time in town loved it”

“Looked as advertised. Not as clean as I would have expected.”

“My place was terribly dirty when I arrived. Sheets were disgusting. towels provided were gross. Broken leg on the coffee table. T.V. Didn’t work. Fridge had spills and food stuck in it. Both air conditioners smell extremely musty when turned on. For the price, I thought it was pretty gross. Typical dirty hotel vibes.”

“I would suggest changing the filters on the AC units and remove the crashed car with expired plates from 2025 from the parking lot in front of the unit.”

“Positives: spacious area Negatives: very dirty bathtub and shower! i had to buy cleaner to clean it myself! shower curtain was very smelly. Need to replace!”

“At first sight, the kitchen and living room seemed ok. But the place was not clean. There were dead bugs in the shower and the bedroom floor. I found trash and dirt behind the nightstand and a dirty tissue under the dresser. I took photos of everything and immediately called the host. He refunded me the fee but I still had to go find a place to stay that night with my family. Beware, the Sojourn is on a very busy road, it’s noisy. Overall, we had a terrible experience.”

“Deadbolt didn’t work & only way to lock it was from the outside with hotel-like key card so you just had to go through the instructed locking process & hope it was actually locked. I got there late night so I didn’t msg as I was solo & host was male so natural awareness. It didn’t match the photos, it was not very clean, hair on sink & vanity (weirdly tall btw, children wouldn’t be able to reach), hair in uncleaned tub, hair in bed, dirty silverware. Mysterious crusty stains on the sofa so didn’t sit. AC worked well & self-check-in was good. Host didn’t answer msg in AM & then when I went to leave he was walking around the property on his phone. He was at the key box & said he’d take my key when I went to return it & when I hesitated he said it was fine bc he was host. When I mentioned the deadbolt he just said ok, said he’d check it out, didn’t mention not replying to prev. msg. Bold to request you take your own trash & wash dishes. Msg after left that I should ask to fix next time.”

“Signs around the place say doors don’t auto lock behind you, but I got locked out at 6am by myself taking my dog for a potty break.”

“Great place to stay for a few days. Close to lots of nearby restaurants and downtown. My only complaints are that the one cooking pan didn’t have a handle attached, there was no cooking spray and no cleaning supplies to wipe down the stove with.”
