There is nothing fancy or extravagant about our stay here. The town has a population of about 94 (more if you count the campers that stay here. The surrounding Badlands made the stay here worth it. My only issue was that I couldn't get a single picture that could capture what I was looking at.

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.)

I would recommend staying here to anyone. The checkin was easy, people were friendly. The little store and office are a bit run down and dated but room was nice sized and very clean. It appeared to have been recently remodeled and the bathroom was spacious for the size of room. I was disappointed the pool was not in working order, Overall I highly recommend!!!!

Excellent location and great value for the price. Clean room and very comfortable bed. Very close to the entrance of the Badlands made it convenient to return for the evening programs. Word of advice: dining choices are very scarce. We had an ok burger at the Wagon Wheel Bar and Grill for dinner. No decent options for breakfast although the motel did offer some food. Next time I would bring some yogurt or breakfast food and stick it in the room fridge.

Location is great and desk staff are friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom is worn and dated. The regular beds were comfortable but the pull out soda bed needs to be replaced as I could feel the support wires through the mattress. Good supply of toiletries and appreciated the regular and decaf coffee oprions.
