Great stay

The recently renovated motel was clean and comfortable. Kitchenette and ceiling fan were pluses. Loved the soft, comfortable bedding, and the old Bible by the bed was a nice touch. We walked over to the local bar for dinner. It was Indian taco night. Reasonably priced good meal.
Carson, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place. Not a ton of room, but was perfect for an overnight stay.
Abraham, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Most definitely one of our favorite stays during our cross country road trip. The rooms were spotless and updated. The location was quiet and safe.

Jane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a quiet little place. Close to the badlands. It was as advertised. Everything was clean and neat. Easy to get into and out of. Not much of a town but that's good for us. I do think the train operator was having fun with the tourist, alot of train horn for such a little place.
Albert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful room and great amenities. Little kitchen is very convenient and there is a nice patio. I really appreciated having the larger fridge. Would definitely stay again!
Deana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Wagon Wheel was perfect for our overnight stop! Very clean, looked newly renovated and was very comfortable. Kitchenette was wonderful since there aren’t many food options. Very quiet and peaceful! Highly recommend.
Margaret, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We unfortunately only stayed overnight and departed the next morning. The motel room was extremely clean, and all appliances and furnishings appeared to be nearly brand-new. Check in was very simple. Beds were great. I wish we would have stayed at least one more night, as it appears to be a great jumping-off point to do all sorts of activities in the area. Highly recommended!
Rafael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cute, clean, and cozy

This place is super cute! We loved the plywood construction and the decor. It really felt homey, with thoughtful curation of items in the room. It was super clean and nice. My only suggestion if the owners see this is a towel hook near the shower door.
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were on a 2 week road trip and this was the best sleep I got the whole trip, much better than any of the chain hotels we stopped at. The room was cozy and cute and very clean, and I loved that it had a little kitchen. I drank my morning coffee on the little back porch and it was so peaceful. They even had pots full of petunias on the back porch! I would absolutely recommend it if you are passing through the area. We had been at Badlands all day and it was perfect.
Aubrey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stopped on our way to Mount Rushmore. Quaint but clean and just what we needed. It's very remote and not near anything.
Amy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The actual building was adequate, clean, easy parking, the person who phoned me to lmk our room number was very friendly, but the area is not very nice, would not stay there again, due to the location.

This would be a perfect room for an extended stay with the adorable kitchen area.
Rachel, 1-night trip

Great place to stay when visiting the Badlands

Perfect quiet location, close to Wall and the Badlands. The room was clean & updated and the kitchenette was perfect to refreeze cooler ice and keep all of cooler foods cold. We love the room and would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.
