"Good Stay"

Good stay and good breakfast. We stayed for 2 nights while visiting the Black Hills from CA. Looks like the hotel is in the middle of a renovation.

Did not stay there. Looked at three rooms all dirty and smelled. Feces on the wall. A local told us it had been shut down and condemed for months. It really needs to be burned down. It's terrible. Stay far far away

Junky cheap motel. facilities in poor condition. Lots of creeps lurking around in the area, sitting outside drinking and smoking. One of the desk staff was very friendly and helpful, the other was the most rude apathetic unhelpful individual I've ever encountered. All-in-all it was just meh. You get what you pay for I guess.

I felt safe sleeping here, which is a big deal for me and my kids. It was quiet which is also nice. The only things that I did not care for were as follows: *Two bathrooms in our suit, but only 1 soap. * AC did not work well so we were super warm while trying to sleep. *They did not keep up with restocking breakfast so even with over an hour left of breakfast, most things were gone.

The Lobby was nice, but the room not clean. Q-tips, and candy on floor by one of the beds. Also the bathtub didnt drain well, so standing in water during shower. And the bathroom had lots of hair on the floor etc.
