Could be cleaner. Probably hard keeping things clean with the oil workers using this hotel. Otherwise, nice stay. Breakfast was tasty.
Nice hotel about half an hour off the main highway. Great price. Wonderful staff. Comfortable king size bed. Near an oil field and primarily caters to the people who work there, so hot breakfast is served from 3:30 am to 8;30 am. Quiet. Clean.
I have stayed at the Hotel Dakota in Killdeer ND for several weeks while working in the area this summer. Your staff is amazing! They are friendly, professional and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable; and even though I needed to be to work before breakfast was officially set up Jeremy made sure there were options available so I could grab something to go. I will definitely stay again if I get the opportunity to return to the area. Thank you so much for a memorable stay. Kim
My husband, grandson and I were in the area to hunt and stayed at the Dakota Hotel. Deborah was at the desk most of the time we were there and was so kind and accommodating. She is definitely an asset to the business! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again if we are back in the area.
If I could give this facility 10 stars I would. I travel often and have stayed in some of the higher end chain hotels that cost much more than a room here. With that being said, the quality, cleanliness, atmosphere and staff at the higher end chain hotels don’t come close to this place. Very nice and modern rooms that are spotless, comfortable bedding, friendly staff and nice little amenities added in the rooms like chip bags and bottles of water that just show how above and beyond they go here. You would be lucky to pay $500 a night for a stay like this at one of the regular hotel chains but the quality and cleanliness would not be matched at all. Great job guys.
Nice place great system I'd give 6 stars in service if I could the employees are great and it's always pleasant returning to a happy hotel after a long day at work if the employees see this know you guys do a great job at going above and beyond great hotel all around!
Stayed two nights to work a wedding around town. Very hospitable staff. Made us Pizza and brought it straight to our room after a long drive there. Welcoming staff. One staff member paid for a sprite from the vending machine because my card wasn’t working. The whole experience was home-like. 10/10 will recommend.
Overall pretty good. Rooms were clean, shower was hot. Breakfast was pretty good. Eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, waffles, bagels, cereal. Better than most places. Staff was nice and accommodating. Prices are high in this area, atleast for me, but it's expected when you're in the area of an oil field. With that being said, be prepared to be woke up between 4 and 5 am from talking and doors slamming shut because this is the time most workers get up and leave.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
