Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Not a new luxury hotel, but clean, quiet, comfortable, and close to and convenient to everything in Keystone, Custer State Park, the Badlands, Rapid City etc. at a very reasonable price. Left us with more money to do things in the area! All guests were convivial and host was awesome.

Amazing breakfast

The motel is a little bit faded but the staff are certainly trying to do their best. For the price it has an extremely convenient location and offers a hot breakfast with a wide selection of cold food. I would certainly stay here again.

This is an older property that needs come care. Breakfast was poor at best. The bed was comfortable, the shower was nice. No housekeeping service. The area was beautiful with lots of trees and was quiet.

Clean, quiet, friendly staff. TV was not good (computer monitor screen) with minimal channel selections. Breakfast options very limited. We stayed for (1) night, and despite not 100% rating, we would stay again.

The area is fantastic. The hotel needs a lot of upgrade. The breakfast was good. Now the toilet in the room was only 3 inches from one wall, it was uncomfortable. The shower is snall- very small.

Older but nice & friendly people.

The facility was an older property that showed its age but the proprietor did a good job keeping everything in order. He was very friendly, caring and always prompt with any requests made. We prefer softer mattresses so be prepared for extra firm if you stay here. We would stay here again.
