Very nice Travelodge

We don't normally stay at Travelodge but due to location we did this time for 5 days. This is an older hotel but has had lots of work done and is in very nice condition. The owner is friendly and helpful. There is also a nice patio outside the office with plenty of room for a group to sit together and enjoy the day.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Rooms were impeccably clean! Older property that needs a little attention on the outside. But when in Okoboji all you need is a clean room with working air. This was reasonably priced for the area, quiet, and I’ve stayed in nicer hotels where the rooms weren’t even close to this clean. Had a hard time getting a Lyft but that is more a Boji problem.

I was able to park my motorcycle right in front of my room for three days, and I was able to walk to a pizza restaurant and a local DQ all within the walking distance. Gasoline stations and grocery store are nearby. Thank you.

Liked: Staff & service
The room was what you’d expect from a budget motel, but the A/C unit in our room didn’t remove any of the humidity. Everything in the room felt damp. Sunni, the owner/manager, was attentive and friendly.

This property needs some updating. The air conditioner was very loud. And the room felt very wet. The queen size bed was a very small room.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Check in/out was quick and easy; no wait for staff. The keyless room entry was nice. Bedding was clean. The rest of the room seemed hastily cleaned, dust bunnies and debris in the corners. The furniture and room in general was in need of upgrading or repairs; the bathroom door had been punched and broken, and did not latch closed.
