    When we arrived there was junk cars, tires , detritis everywhere. The office was closed and we could not contact the office by phone. Man there said manager was in a room. He knocked on the door and hollerd thru a open window, but nobody would respond. We could not stay there, so went to another motel.

    Room was very comfortable and clean. Office and outside needs serious work/cleanup

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    We couldnt check in because the manager never showed up. After waiting outside for almost 2 hours and three phone calls my husband and i ended up leaving and driving the rest of the 6 hours home. I also have current picturea that i want to share because the property today is nothing like what is posted on your website. I would like a refund please because on the third phone call the manager told me he never received my reservation from Expedia and he had issues with Expedia in the past. This hotel is not even worthy of 1 star. Please respond to me about this issues!

    I didn't stay there that night, in the past years I had and it was clean and quiet. This time it looked like it had been rundown a lot,how ever I believe the manager is working hard to fix it back up and I really hope he can. The manager was very nice and looked like he was working hard the best part was that he didn't hold me to the deal and cheerfully refunded my money and we were able to find another room that night luckily

    Total gut job going on . Nobody there to check us in and when we called the # on the office door they said they couldn't be back for an hour. They offered a refund which we never got. They said they did everything on there part to do it and no it was up to Expedia. They have done nothing and when I try to talk with them I get a stupid useless bot. I'm done with them and anything associated with them.

    I was never able to even check in. There was no one to check me in. I waited for almost an hour and no one showed up to check me in even though I called the number on the door and left a message. I finally left and found a new place to stay. VERY DISAPPOINTED! No employee even to check me in

    I was not able to check in in this hotel. I reached hotel around 915pm. Office was closed. There was number to call. I called them many times but call was going on voicemail. No one returned my call. I need my refund asap

    The quaintness. The office was a wreck. The beds needed new mattress. The drains in sink and in bath tub did not drain.

    We waited a few minutes for housekeeping to finish cleaning our bathroom before we were able to enter our room. We were told that their washing machine was inoperable and they were waiting for clean towels, but did supply us with some to get started. We thankfully had our own towels and largely used those. There were no trash cans in our room so we did have to ask for those and were promptly supplied with them. As a former housekeeper myself, I must say that cleanliness in our room could have been better. It was not so dirty that I felt my health was at risk, but I did feel compelled to "mop" the bathroom floor and wipe some things down as there were crumbs/hair/misc smudges on surfaces, floors, walls. The freezer compartment of the fridge and the microwave were also dirty. I understand that a dated property cannot be pristine, but when I spend hundreds of dollars for a room, I expect the floors to be swept well, mopped and surfaces free from debris that can be wiped away. My number one priorities are safety and no bugs. This property met those expectations. And honestly I really wanted to love it here, as the gentleman I interacted with did seem genuinely kind and caring. This property had the best rate available, is in a great location and has a lot of potential if staff just gets a little better organized.

    Bedbugs, need I say more?

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Absolutely NOTHING!! Dirty, unorganized,worst place that I’ve seen in my 75 years. Will never use Booking.com again! Obviously this place has never been reviewed by a legitimate source! Could not even spend the night and lost over $100 but would not allow my wife to stay another minute, in this place! Booking.com should be ashamed!!

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    No one was at motel desk. They neither answered the posted phone number nor was my call returned.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The reception area doesn't exist and we were charged right on the street. We were asked to call the property up front and provide CC details as they won't guarantee our stay otherwise. Very weird setup for booking.com partner.

    Manager (owner?) was very friendly, down to earth and helpful. Was quiet. Everything worked and was clean. Lots of stores and restaurants nearby. Pizza joint right next door. Wilderness Park area a five minute drive up the closest street. Cool '50s vibe. Suited my needs but definitely no-frills. No coffeemaker. The office was closed for construction so had to contact manager by phone (always answered promptly). Some construction materials on premises.

    Was not a good place to stay and we wont ever stay again.

    Friendliness of everybody

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Convenient location and rooms are large. Mini fridge and microwave are in the room. The room had been freshly cleaned and smelled great! The fridge needed defrosting.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Close to Black Hills. The Manager was very pleasant
