Dakota Rose Inn — Hotel in Underwood

We had driven all the way from Reno, NV straight through on a hot shot delivery. Arrived around midnight after 26 hours of non-stop driving. I checked ahead and discovered very little choices for accommodations unless returning to Bismark. We just couldn't face driving the additional 54 miles back to Bismark after the delivery. Sooooo, I went ahead and made a reservation for Dakota Rose and hoped for the best. We were exhausted to say the least and just looking forward to falling into bed. But no! Upon entry into our room, an alarm was sounding-------similar to a fire alarm but different. The manager lived off site. So I had to call her to report this situation. She arrived in about 10 minutes. And after checking various appliances and the furnace, she announced that it was the carbon monoxide alarm. WHAT??!! Well, she finally got the alarm to shut off, but there was no way we were sleeping in that room. She offered us a different room. She trudged us around the outside of the building to a room with an outside entrance. It was very dark, cold, and frosty-muddy with no porch light or outside lighting of any kind. Not to mention that there was no walkway or path, and there seemed to be a lot of construction material that we were stomping through. I made four trips back and forth----toting our luggage and various other items through the mess. So this second accommodation was an apartment with a small living room, and 2 small bedrooms. The bathroom was ever so tiny with a shower that must have been made for midgets and no water pressure whatsoever-----just a dribble. But I digress. We finally crawled into an uncomfortable lumpy double size bed. And although there was no carbon monoxide alarm chanting away, I couldn't get the possibility of not-waking-up out of my head. So I attempted to sleep with the window wide open. Which made for a very frozen night and no sleep at all for either my husband or myself. What a miserable remaining night! Come dawn, we dragged our belongings back out to our van and hit the road. And we left the Desert Rose in our rear view mirror. Somehow we made it to Billings, MT, where we snuggled down for two days of recovery. For us the Dakota Rose was...

She’s an old one, yet unique in her own right. If you’re wanting holiday inn or Ramada, it’s not for you. If you’re tired of driving, need a comfy bed, a full kitchen stocked with basic cooking and dining necessities, or your own private washer and dryer, most units have that, too. Rooms 1-2 are your typical single room motel room. Rooms 3-8 are fully furnished 3br,2ba units with a full kitchen, and washer and dryer, and dining area. Rooms 1a and 2a are outside entry units, 1a with separate living room and separate br, separate kitchen. 2a has 2br’s, separate living room area, but no kitchen. If you’re in the area for hunting, fishing, or seasonal work, this is the spot for you! Management and maintenance are friendly and knowledgeable about hunting and fishing areas and local events, depending on...

This place should be avoided at all cost. Reserved a 2 bedroom suite. Got a single room. Contacted the property manager and he said it was hotels.com fault. Cleaning people still cleaning room when we arrived at 5:30 pm. Hallway into the room was filthy, room door had a gap so big you could see into room. Hallway lights were out, bathroom lights were out. No outlet in the bathroom. Really no ammenities. Hairs on the pillows, bloody tp in the toilet. The overall condition was pretty awful. NOTHING like the pictures. There is no management on the property. The 2 good things- the bed was comfortable, it had hot water. But i feel like i need to disinfect everything rhat was in...
