Great location to access badlands
Staff were excellent! Room was very clean. The only thing I would say was the lighting was a little dim and it would have been nice to USB ports

A great experience
Staff was so friendly. Coffee and popcorn was available in the lobby. The pool and hot tub were clean. The room was clean. The bathroom in the room with 2 queen beds and sofa was very small but adequate. One of my family members left earbuds in the room and I was contacted. The earbuds were shipped to me within hours. Complementary breakfast is available however we left before it was out at 6:30.

Nicest hotel in the area. While not a luxury hotel, it was very clean, nice beds, and staff were friendly. It is a family run hotel. They take pride in making sure you are comfortable and are happy with your accommodations.

Would recommend
Just a brief one night stay but met our needs. The building is a little dated but some upgrades have been made and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pool area was clean and the towels well stocked. The continental breakfast was also great.

I had to upgrade to a handicapped room because I fell on my trip and tore something in my leg resulting in me needing a wheelchair. The woman at the desk was hateful about it. I had to go through Expedia to request the change which I had done. She finally made the change. I had to that at six stops and she was the only one hateful about it. But for the handicapped, the room was great Spacious and well set up. All of the other people were great and the breakfast was really good

Great motel. Good breakfast. Wish our room was on the first floor instead of the second since there’s no elevator.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We needed a gluten free option for breakfast and the member of staff in the kitchen was excellent - he pointed out everything that was gluten free and even brought 2 items specially from the kitchen.

**"Major Wasp Problem – Proceed with Caution"**
Before booking this hotel, there’s something important to be aware of: they have a serious wasp problem, and the staff is well aware of it. When I went to the front desk to request a room change due to finding three large wasps in our room, I was told that the wasps are a common issue throughout the property. Instead of offering a solution, they simply handed me a fly swatter. After this interaction, we decided to cut our trip short and drive 8 hours home without a break. Unfortunately, the hotel refused to issue a refund because we had already checked in.
If you’d prefer not to spend your night sharing a room with wasps, I would recommend avoiding this place.
