Met up with a college friend of mine for a weekend reunion a few weeks back since we hadn't seen each other in a couple years - couldn't have been more perfect. I brought a gift basket for my friend and was allowed to bring it and place it in the room for when she arrived. The bathroom in my... More

We stayed at the Prairie Inn on 2/28/2013. Larger room than most places in this price range. Staff was really friendly. Next door to the Dakota Dome. Great value. One draw back to the room was not an adequate quantity of electrical outlets. Free breakfast was basic. They did not have my usual staple of oatmeal. There was a waffle... More

The Prairie Inn is a place that has a spot in my heart. I was employed at the Prairie when I first lived in Vermillion. And Della was a great boss and even more a good friend and person to be around. After moving to Brookings I then stayed at The Prairie for one of the first times as a... More

When my husband and I come to stay at Prairie Inn, it always feels like coming home to family. I feel as though when I come to the front desk for information or a spare pillow, I can stay and chat with the person behind the desk as if I were talking to family. The prices are EXTREMELY competitive, but... More

This place is awesome. Nice, clean spacious room. The staff is outstanding and bent over backwards with all of my questions and requests. This is by far the best hotel experience I have ever had. If you are coming to Vermillion, this is the only place to stay.

We were visiting family in the area and stayed here one (Friday) night. The sound coming through the wall of the room was unbelievable -- we could hear every word, and the occupants were not yelling. Would NOT stay here again.
