My stay at Dakota Inn was a mixed bag. On one hand, the location is excellent—very close to the mall, which I loved. The staff were friendly, and I appreciated the decent free breakfast options. However, the condition of the room left much to be desired; there were issues like stains on the carpet and a noisy refrigerator that made it hard to get a good night's sleep.
