Middle of no where wall drug
Very clean and well kept hotel. The person at the reception desk was very efficient and quick with the keys and information. The hotel rooms were basic but very clean and well maintained for their age. The bed was very comfortable and the TV had all the necessary channels you would need.

Older motel but very well maintained. Breakfast was by far the best this year.
Extremely fresh and well done. It was the highlight of my day!

Perfect for the occasion
All the staff here were very friendly with a simple check-in and check-out process. There was a note left in our room about it being a family owned and run business which was cool to know. Breakfast offered a little bit of everything to get us going for the day. Would definitely start again if in the area!

My stay didn’t meet expectations and I ended up leaving a night early. It’s fine for one night if you want to be close to badlands, but I’d recommend staying in rapid city.

Not bad for the area
Didn't love that the doors are open to the outside... It definitely feels less safe. Also - no elevator to get bags up to 2nd floor
