Red Roof Inn Vermillion - U of South Dakota

This is probably the noisiest place I have ever stayed!! I felt like the people upstairs just walked back and forth all night long. Bathroom was tiny and needs some serious updating. Around the tub was mold and gunk. It wasn’t just us in the room either. I think we killed 3 or 4 gnats. For the price it should have been much nicer.

Nothing special. The staff were nice and accommodating. The breakfast was ok. Room probably could use and update. There was a soccer tournament in town and lots of kids, Room above us was very loud and made it difficult to sleep. Has a good location but nothing is very far away.

I would put zero as an option if I could..... Took my family to Vermillion for a college visit as one of my sons got his doctorate from there.... My daughter was sleeping and was suddenly awaken from her deep sleep to superficial red bumps on the epidermis.. Approximately 1 CM circumference.... Additionally, found a "yellow stain" (as they call it) on the bedding. However, it was innconnient of urine. Was told there was three layers between the stain and it was "fine". My DISABLED daughter had to be carried up steep, slippery, stairs that led to the second floor.... It doesn't come to conclusion there... The sheets were full of crumbs which ultimately led me to think the owners were having a curry cook off in the room. UGH..... My daughter that is disabled (which I mentioned earlier) couldn't even fit in the bathroom. Mother, who is luckily a Certified Nurse Practitioner was able to help her.... Upon arrival after a long exhausting day, no one was at the desk!! We waited over an eternity (10 minutes) to be helped. They crawled out from the back room like they were doing the dirty.... MY SON who had a gluten allergy was awaken from his sleep to go down to the breakfast which was limited…... MORE OVER with the bathroom there was rust by the tub. The response was "that needs to be cocked". Well, I think it does too, maybe the sheets washed too? Don't stay here, I could go on and on, but deeply frustrated. Pool was closed but luckily there was puddles of water in their parking to splash around in. Pool has been closed for over a few months according to the previous reviews, think they should be able to fix it.... Good at arguing but poor at fixing....

Our room was clean and well-furnished. Our bed was OK and breakfast was fair. Overall though, a mostly disappointing stay as we ran into a myriad of issues: Our rooms were in the very back of the building where front desk guy told us we should park. That's ok but, none of our keys would open the outside doors there. Front desk guy, though nice enough was clueless and no help at all; toilet and bath area is very cramped; Bathtub won't drain, nor does the sink; Pool taken out of service. All of these individually are minor issues of little inconvenience but, one disappointment, after another adds up. On top of all that, at $111, we're overcharged by $40! Get the minor issues fixed and get the pool back in service, it would be worth the price!
