Very, very nice! Very clean. Bed was very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent. Good quality food. We had the lamb chump. It was delicious. The people were very friendly and professional. There were complementary umbrellas by the door which were very convenient. We had complementary ride to the airport by a very nice and friendly driver. Sorry I can’t remember his name. I recommend this hotel.

Largely excellent but very overworked front desk staff - one person for check-in and concierge. Very helpful and friendly but needed to wait 10 minutes to ask a simple question. Well lit rooms but hotel surprisingly dark in hallways. Great shower and bath sheets. Good size bed but very squeaky mattress well past its best before date. Town is quaint but not particularly walkable from hotel.

Needed a place to stay before a mid morning flight back to the US. This was just a few minutes further away than the usual mid range chain hotels near the airport. We dropped our bags at the hotel and I planned on taking an Uber back from the rental car drop at the airport but they said "we will have our shuttle pick you up". The hotel itself was immaculate and impressively designed/decorated-not at all the "plain" hotel we expected. The room very clean and comfortable, drinks in the lounge top notch, dinner and breakfast fine (the breakfast buffet a bit weak but the others in our party had the full breakfast which was fine). Reasonably priced-all in all the hotel punched well above its weight

The Dakota is modern and clean if a little dark and not terribly convenient for the airport. However, I booked the hotel because it boasted an airport transfers from 6am until 10pm. Unfortunately when I tried to reserve transfers 48 hours in advance as requested for 7:30am, I was informed that the transfers only ran from 10am on the day we needed them. Extremely disappointing!!
