Top South Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Yankton by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, room was clean and nicely decorated. Bed was super comfy. They had a nice happy hour with free beer and wine which was a nice touch. I missed the breakfast because I slept in. It was hard to do because the maids were a little aggressive to clean the room in the morning, knocking on the door at 8 am and again at 9 am. I would stay there again but would hang a do not disturb tag on the door."
