We stayed at the Holiday Inn and Express in Watertown SD while attending a two day car show. From check in to check out our experience was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly, the room was spacious and very clean. The bed and bedding was very comfortable! The complimentary breakfast was delicious and we'll staffed with incredibly friendly gals. Location was very convenient too.

We were only there one night, but our stay was lovely and just what was needed in the middle of a long and weary trip. Close to the hockey rink and an Aldi was helpful as well. Breakfast was great with a super friendly staff and AMAZING grind on the spot coffee. Thanks for everything!! Newer hotel, beds were comfy and very clean.

So,. The property, staff, etc... We're great. The place was clean and breakfast was good. My only complaint was the HVAC thermostat did not allow me to keep fan on. Sometimes a little constant cover noise is much better than a relatively loud fan.kicking on and off

This is an excellent hotel. We most always use Holiday Inn and a suites (and did these past three nights) and this was by far the nicest of them all. They are always great but this one was the best and mainly due to the staff and cleanliness of the rooms. Would definitely stay here again.
