Quiet area, large room, comfortable bed, lots of big fluffy towels. Hot shower. No heat except for portable radiator heater for cool night which kept room very comfortable. Close parking. No ice machine. No breakfast. Kadoka is small town with only 1 small cafe for meals but good food and service there. Would stay here again. Nice accommodation for the price.

Grandpa Joe's is an old-school motel and you can feel it. It's convenient if you're driving through on I-90 and it's inexpensive. That's the good. The less good is the limited front desk hours, a surly staff,and marginal cleanliness. After checking in and seeing all this, the half-filled swimming pool made me laugh.

This is a classic motel property being rejuvenated. It is being done with care and good ideas by the new owners. It is convenient to the Badlands National Park entrance, and other attractions. Although, Kadoka is a small town, it offers many choices for shopping and restaurants. Easy in and out. Safe. Convenient to I-90.
