David L, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

3 night stay while checking out the Black Hills

I didn’t like how dirty the bathroom floor seemed. I made my kids wear shoes for the 3 days we stayed (not just socks) throughout the room. It was an awesome location. The breakfast was ok. Most of the patrons were super friendly so that was pretty great!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a large variety. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Mary, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place, great price!

A nice place on the main street with good access to everything from food (Maria's next door is superb!) to highways. The price was wonderful for such a great property in the center of the Black Hills.

Not great, but not bad

Pretty basic motel. No elevator, and we had a second floor with bad knees. Not great, but not bad either. There was hair on the floor in the bathroom which was kind of disgusting.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely room with super comfy king bed, heater worked well and quickly when turned on. Staff very friendly. Excellent breakfast, including mini omelettes and pancakes.
Allison, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really enjoyed staying here, everyone was so nice (guests and staff!) and location was great. The bed was comfortable but I do wish it had a comforter or something to make it a bit cozier.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. Everything in the room worked great. Only complaint was that the room smelt like body odor, and toiletries hadn’t been replaced.
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean cozy room, tiny bathroom, so small that the sink was outside. Easy to find and next to several restaurants. Plenty of parking, can park right in front of room door. Decent breakfast but the selection was very limited in terms of selection. Friendly staff.
Rajbir, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad

I liked the property and the service, it had a laundry, ice machine, easy parking. Small town so everything is walkable. Room was clean but it just had this smell that was old, mildewy. Not sure if it came from the AC Unit, building, etc. overall, it was ok. That’s my only gripe.
Mario, 3-night trip
