Very clean and basic motel immediately outside the Badlands Park entrance so it was very convenient and efficient.
kelly, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ideal place to stay if visiting Badlands National Park, due to proximity.
Victoria, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Conveniently located on the East side of the park where we entered. Love the motel vibe where you can walk just steps to your car to unload…ground floor. When we headed out to Mt Rushmore the next day we then drove through the park drive to the West side and saw all the sites.
Bonnie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Right inside the national park with beautiful surroundings, friendly and helpful staff
Joel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay. Location is great for the Badlands loop. The manager is a friendly person, gave us some good suggestions for eating in the area. Good value for our stay
Penny, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property is rustic, but the rooms are clean. A little updating to the furniture and bathroom areas would help. Breakfast is not included. There is a small store and options are available for breakfast at a cost. We would stay here again because it is so close to Badlands NP
Carmen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super easy check in, clean room, and comfortable beds!

Great location/good value

Cindy, at the front desk, was extremely helpful and efficient. Bed was very comfortable. Suoer close to Badlands National Park. No ice machine, but front desk was able to provide ice upon request. Towels were thin. Could use a towel bar in bathroom that is not above toilet paper holder.

Anala, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff. Was very convenient to the badlands. Room was clean and comfortable.
Denise, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very friendly, the location was really close to the Badlands, the overall space was large (though the shower space was small), and the beds were comfortable. I had a problem with many flies, a wasp, and a spider in the room, even though I was quick to enter and exit. The room could also use a microwave but does have a refrigerator.
