Overall Ratings & Reviews River Ranch at Cedar Shore

Stay was great. Bed was comfortable. Clean room.

After booking at the River Ranch at Cedar Shore for a weekend fishing trip, was very disappointed when I checked in to learn that they had changed my room reservation to the Hotel. I booked the river ranch because I have a boat and needed space to park boat, there is none at the Hotel!

The River Ranch was not open and we had to stay in the hotel. With a boat it was not as convenient

Good value for money. Access to a nice resort. Nice view of Missouri from the room. An oasis in the desert of central South Dakota

River Ranch met our need for a place to stay the night as we traveled through the state. The room was clean and in overall good condition. It met the description and had the amenities listed. I liked the separate entrance for each room and parking right out front. There were a few small items that needed maintenance but nothing that caused a significant inconvenience (toilet was loose so it wobbled slightly when you sat down and the bathroom fan didn't look like it was quite right in the ceiling but it worked). My only negative was the service at check in. The desk worker was polite but other than giving me the key and directions to the room, there was zero information provided about where anything was, hours, not even the Wi-Fi password. I assumed that was because the information would be in the room but there was no information there either.

First of all, arrived at the property and they gave away our room. We made reservations about a month in advance. Then they “upgraded” us to a room on the river with a balcony ( It was normally 189.00.) NOT an upgrade at all! The room overlooked the outside bar, which was fine, but there was a stage for the band that would play until almost 10:00. I know that doesn’t seem late for some but after traveling all day we were tired. They happen to mention there was a wedding at the facility, on the other end, well guess what roamed the halls until 3AM? Drunk guests that were screaming, yelling, singing, knocking on doors... At check out they said they were aware of those guest and still didn’t stop it. A really awful experience. P.S. you need to clean the entire entry to this building, it was so dirty.

We were not given what we reserved. We reserved a cabin for us and our two dogs and were given a second floor room in the middle of the resort hotel.

This could be an exceptional experience but the property needs some renovation. The location is beautiful, there are several amenities but our room was dark and dated. There is a restaurant and pool inside and a grill and bar outside.looking out over the river.

Need better parking for vehicles with boats. A ice machine would also have been nice.

The promotional photo shown on Expedia was not the room type given.

I liked the resort feel and the view. The somewhat of a cabin setup was also very unique. I did not like how the room was not entirelt clean. Wrappers on the floor from a previous renter and spider webs in doorways.

I will never stay here again I was there Friday to Sunday afternoon and during that stay I met 2 good staff the rest are rude and disrespectful. The room seemed to be starting to fall apart from loose door handles to doors that had gaps on the one side of the top to rubbing on the other. The rooms were already expensive but we were told we would get a discount for the wedding and when brought up to to one of the front desk ladies she said well pay this and we’ll figure that out later.... tried to go back later and it was a disaster and my family and my husbands family will never stay here again because I wasn’t the only one having issues with staff or rooms.

Bugs. Lots of bugs. Live bugs. Dead bugs. Bugs bugs bugs. The check in desk is across the street in another facility with a different name, which is only annoying if you don’t know about it and you call to confirm your reservation and no one bothers to tell you about it and your gps takes you to the check in and you’re left wondering if you’re in the right spot. Which happened. But mostly...bugs bugs and more bugs.

Very nice place enjoyed it

Our stay was good. There was a problem with our reservation at first, but they were quick to make available another room for the same price and to accommodate us and our needs. A beautiful location and friendly and helpful staff.

nice people, great views

The main hotel was full so we had to stay here. Very thin walls so we coukd hear everything next door. Beds were super comfy. Could not get wifi to work.

It was better than I thought it was right on the river which was a nice surprise

Our room wasn't quite ready so they upgraded to another room for the same price

Very relaxing atmosphere. Great activities for kids. Beautiful view.
