Very clean, friendly staff, easy check-in and good coffee!
Elizabeth, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay for hiking the Window and Door Trails in the morning or evening.
sheila, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would stay again

The proximity to BNP is unmatched unless you are staying in the park. Nothing fancy, but clean and great AC. Good shower, comfortable beds.
Sara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved staying here! Fantastic room! So close to the park! Will stay again.
Moria, 2-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

Would Stay Again

A little dated but clean and comfortable. Should note the restaurant is only for breakfast and is closed on Sunday and Monday. No ice machine but they offered a free 3 lb bag of ice.

Extremely friendly staff and a perfectly situated motel/campground for any of your Badlands exploration needs! Room was great, nice comfortable bed, decent shower - nothing to complain about. Will definitely stay again if I'm in the area.

Basic stay

Not muchbin the area to do or eat. Had to drive for awhile. Very basic room. Fly problem. Good for quick one night stay.
Kristy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was friendly and welcoming. Room was cool and clean. Bathroom needs updating, toilet was low and small. Breakfast was good for what was offered. Coffe should be free, especially with breakfast. Should offer something to drink with breakfast. Was a convenient location for staying in Badlands and other nearby sights.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location to Badlands NP; very pet friendly.
DONNA, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charming old style motel. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Older building, but clean and maintained. Perfect location for visiting Badlands National Park, less than 5 minute from entrance.
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Yes, this place is on the older side but it’s exactly what you might expect from a hotel/campground. It’s quiet, clean and literally just outside of the park entrance. I would definitely stay here again. (Pool is not in service and we could not get tv to work, but we were here for Badlands anyway.)
Michael, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great location…but needs some work.

The location was excellent! The people were lovely. However, the room needed cleaning up.
