Depot Inn & Suites

Depot Inn & Suites was the perfect stopover during our college move-in trip. After a long day of packing, driving, and hauling boxes, we were welcomed into a space that felt peaceful, clean, and genuinely special. The hotel blends modern comfort with charming railroad-themed design, making it far more than just a place to sleep. Our room was spacious and spotless, with a comfortable bed and thoughtful touches throughout. The train-themed décor added character without feeling overdone, and the quiet ambiance helped us recharge for the next day. The property is beautifully maintained, with picnic areas, a swimming pool, and walking paths to explore. The lobby and hallways double as a mini railway museum, which was a fun surprise and gave us a chance to slow down and enjoy the moment. Staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful—offering great local tips and making check-in smooth and easy. It’s clear they take pride in the experience they offer

This place is such a wonderful place to stay! Always clean, always accommodating. The 'boys' in the family are obsessed with trains, and The Depot Inn has trains and information! It is completely decorated in train themes. The are a few suites and the regular rooms are awesome! In your room you are able to use a special TV and watch various live train crossings and stations. We browsed the Lookout and the Amtrak stations. It has a pool which will blow a whistle and water comes out a pipe from above, an outside BBQ patio and even bicycles (we) could ride. There is a pool table in the lobby! The location is perfect. Walking distance to a gas station, Dollar General and a fantastic Mexican restaurant! We have drove from Sioux Falls to Macon at least once a year and since we have found Depot Inn we would never stay elsewhere! Kudo's to all at Depot Inn! Love it

Cleanliness was A+! This Inn has such class. Everything is totally immaculate. I'm very picky and I couldn't find a single thing wrong. We've truly never stayed anywhere so clean. Decorating shows owners/management cares about making your stay special. We would recommend the Depot Inn without hesitation and cannot wait to go there again. It's the nicest hotel we've ever stayed in!!

Everything was very interesting. To spend the night in a museum is almost a dream come true. We checked in and spent at least an hour reading about the history. I was a big Doc Savage fan, and seeing part of the story of Lester Dent, who created the books under the pen name of Kenneth Robeson) on the site made it even more exciting for me.

Outstanding personnel...everyone employed there from the ladies at the front desk to the cleaning crew are exceptional! Excellent ladies at the front desk(all 3 of them that I had the pleasure of dealing with), pleasant, your every need is attended to with exceptional service! Hotel is very clean! King bed mattress is somewhat on the hard side, but all the wonderful qualities of this hotel will keep us coming back!
