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

We checked into the hotel and upon getting to our room discovered that it did not look like the room that we expected based on our reservatiin. We found dried food on the duvet, and a large dark and discolored area in the bathroom on the trim below the shower. Not feeling comfortable with staying for the night we immediately returned to the office to check out and get a refund for our stay. When we were finally contacted back by management we were told that the room was perfectly acceptable. We were also told that the rooms will be undergoing updates and that the bathroom is going to be painted and that the black discoloration we saw was old paint and not anything dangerous. We are not unreasonable people, just expect to get a good comfortable night stay for our money. This issue was not resolved for us.We ended the call feeling disrespected and did not receive a reund or our trouble. I must note that the woman we dealt with at the desk was very kind to us throughout the situation. Also the campground area appeared to be well-kept and maintained.

Did not stay, booking indicated pool and restaurant onsite, neither were available. Requested a refund due to not promising what they advertised. Of course the refund was denied. Staff couldn't have cared less about our complaints.

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.

Very clean and quiet. We also liked our visit from your orange cat. He walked in our room just like he lived there. It was nice because we had to leave our cat at home. He was so friendly be careful no one picks him up!👍😄

Black mold on bathroom wall next to mirror. Floor had multiple soft spots. Comforters were either dirty or stained. The room smelled moldy. The pool was closed. Part of the sidewall caved in. It still had water in it and it was gross stinky water. The service was okay but the hotel is in desperate need of repair/renovations.

This is a minimally maintained property in just functional condition. The most disappointing part is that we left a phone charger in the room, but they supposedly didn't find it while cleaning.

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.

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.

Combo motel and campground, that is super convenient just outside the southern gate of Badlands National Park. Was a 2-minute drive into park for "campfire" program. The rooms were clean and nice. There is a "camp store" in the office for essentials. Several food-serving bars nearby in Interior, SD.
