Building is in need of updating and things like laundry are broken. Hot tubs are in parking lot on a deck that’s also in need of repair. Breakfast is terrible with items seemingly stocked and then allowed to run out so go early or you’ll get nothing

We were given the executive suite and found green mold on the ceiling of the bathroom and mold on the calking around the tub. There was dust sitting on the table between the beds. The building was not kept up (paint chips on all the doorways and the walls didn’t look like they had seen new paint in years. I didn’t think to take photos. I do not recommend this hotel!!

Description on site is a joke. There is no restaurant or bar. The restaurant was warmed up frozen pizza or chicken tenders and the bar was the choice of two beers or wine. After such a long trip I expected to be able to check in and then enjoy a cocktail and dinner. Not gonna happen there. The jacuzzi did show they were like any jacuzzi someone might have in there back yard. But I guess that was good there were 3. One empty and the other two you got to choose your level of nasty smell!! Definitely would not recommend this place

It’s time to renovate the rooms, ceiling paint is pealing off in large sections. Bathroom needs to be updated, and beds are a few years past replacement. If you are used to red roof in’s or cheap city hotels you will fit right in. Breakfast had expired food out. That being said staff were very friendly and nice.

Very Poor Terrible Experience

Our stay at the Blackstone in Lead, So. Dakota, was terrible! The desk personnel was pleasant. And friendly. But there was so much wrong with the room. I wish I had never used hotel.com to reserve my room. The hotel Blackstone in Lead South Dakota was given a score of 8. By hotel.com. Nothing could be further from the truth. I would give it possibly a score of -10. 1. Carpet and floors, dirty, and stained. 2. Had to call to have TV turn on. And after 3. Could not shut the TV off. 4. Refrigerator in room did not work even after I turned it on. Therefore, we lost our food. 5. Heater malfunctioned. 6. Hairdryer unit came completely out of the wall. 7. Toilet paper holder came out of the wall. 8. Bathroom floor dirty. 9. One packet of decaf coffee and 1 cup in the room upon arrival instead of the usual two regular and two decaf packets. 10. Towels were worn thin and small. 11. Before leaving for the day, we gave staff a list of things that needed taken care of while we were out and upon our return 10 hours later nothing was completed. 12. Beds were uncomfortable/lumpy. 13. The room had an odd odor. When I asked if I could change my reservation, I was told no because I had gone through hotel.com paid and reserved the room. I hope to hear from hotel.com and possibly receive some type of compensation for our Terrible Experience and Stay at the Blackstone hotel.

The bed was nice...

The bed was comfy and clean. Thats the end of the positives. The bathroom was filtly. Huge clump of hair in the shower, dirty wash cloth in the night stand, garage on the floor NEXT to garbage can. Food in the fridge. Non smoking room, strong smoke odor. Remote missing battery cover and didnt turn the TV on or off. Breakfast area was dirty, waffle batter was runny and pale, made a tasteless rubbery waffle. The staff was nice but disnt seem to care when I teied to mention the uncleanliness. A cheap bed to sleep in, but would not stay again if traveling alone.

Awful

Very old place much in need of upgrades. It was not clean. Coffee pack and soap from previous guests on the floor. It had not been vacuumed. Worn shabby looking towels. The toilet didn’t flush properly. The coffee machine and tray were dirty. Dust on the bedside tables and on the very old air conditioning unit. Curtains very old and wouldn’t close .

Will not stay here again!

Our room was not cleaned during our 4 day stay at all. Family Room/Suite was dirty, ceiling tiles were falling down in our room and bath exhaust tile was falling down as well. Breakfast area was empty of food in mornings during open breakfast hours and very dirty. TVs/remotes not operational, front desk was always unmanned and laundry room was out of order.

Boiler broken - NO HOT WATER during my stay

WARNING- No Hot Water as their boiler is broken. Do NOT give them any money unless you can go to the room and test the water first. They have many reviews across the internet if you sort by recent showing their lack of hot water in entire hotel dating back six weeks. They are fixing it supposedly but save yourself a headache and choose another location. Best of luck! They also are avoiding reimbursing me for needing to vacate several days early so I could shower during my week long vacation. Simply unethical and they really do NOT care.
