“It's a comfy motel. It is clean. Would have given 5 stars across the board but no fridge and no microwave. A good restaurant is right next door. The bed is good, water pressure in the shower is good. Nothing fancy but we will stay here again. We happened to be here during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally so we heard then coming in and out all day but that didn't bother us at all, thought it was really cool!! Apparently it's a frequent stop for them on their way to or from Sturgis. Had no trouble at all. Great place”

“The rooms are great for and up to date for the price! They were also very accommodating for our travel because our hotel totally screwed us over in Rapid City; we had to back track 18 miles but it was worth and the gentleman that helped us out was awesome to work with us and stayed later to make sure we got a room! I give this place 5 stars because they earned it and it’s convenient and nice quiet area! Highly recommended!”

“Great little overnight stop. Check in at BJs store on corner. No breakfast included however great breakfast was enjoyed at Leonas Kitchen just across the parking lot. Only thing that we lacked was a mini fridge in the room.”

“The beds were the most comfortable that we stayed in while being out in S.D. With that said please clean a little more check window sills and clean floor around the bottom of the toilet because I took a wash rag and did for you. With that said I still gave you 4 stars cause rooms are a nice size and the beds were the absolute best. Great stay for the price we will be back.”

“if you're looking for Clean, Cheap, and friendly this is the perfect place. And it's just off the freeway. Also, there was a flyswatter hanging on the wall and one fly cruising around the room. That was entertaining. Take it for what it is and all is well.”
