Guest Reviews

• Scott (10/5): - Really clean rooms. Todd and Barb are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
• KATHLEEN (10/5): - Clean and comfortable…
• Sue (8/5): - Helpful owner
• Belinda (10/5): - We have stayed here several times and the rooms are always spotless. Nice hot shower with good pressure. Little bar and restaurant right beside motel. Great price for no frills motel. Owners are very nice.
• Debra (10/5): - The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
• Christopher (6/5): - Clean place to sleep
• Brenda (10/5): - Small, family run motel. Room was comfortable, and very clean. Everything needed for our stay was found in the room. Great place to stay!
• Tammy (10/5): - We were traveling through in our way home from Yellowstone. We came late in the evening and service was great. Friendly family owned business. Very clean and comfortable room. Will definitely stay again if we are out that way again. Highly recommend and happy to have supported a small business.
• Jill (8/5): - This was a great stay for a quick overnight stay. Quaint, smallish room. Clean. Lovely owners. Their small bar next door has inexpensive food and a friendly bartender. If you stay, bring your own shampoo/conditioner because non is supplied (also a hairdryer if needed).
• Dawn (10/5): A little, hidden gem - This place is just what the reviewers have said. Nice room, very clean, comfortable. Staff was super nice. I would stay again.
• Kenneth (8/5): - Room was very clean. Not the largest bathroom. Bar nextdoor was a bar. Didn't see any food/menu. Eat before and after. Decent place for low cost.
• Janet (10/5): - Due to our late arrival, spoke with Barb who left us instructions and how to get in. Enjoyed the personal touch and concern. It definitely is a respite stop while heading off to experience this part of the west.
• Tab (10/5): Good value stay - Good nights rest. No frills but clean and comfy. Slept there on the way to Montana. Stayed again on my way home to Missouri from Montana.
• laurie (10/5): - The property is a little old but very clean and comfortable. Todd and Barb were excellent hosts, and the adjacent bar/restaurant had great well priced food. Would definitely stay again!
• Vernon (10/5): - Very clean! Description was as described. We were traveling and just needed to get some sleep. Owners were very nice.
• William (10/5): - The property appeared small and rustic at first sight but owners are on property and also own a small cafe next door. Extremely friendly and helpful and good and fairly priced food next door. I was a solo traveler on a motorcycle and very pleased with the accommodations. I will stay there again and recommend to friends.
• William (10/5): - Convenient and cozy. Food and drink on site.
• Randy (10/5): - Extremely clean, very friendly service. Room was small, but the price was right
• Candace (8/5): - Clean, friendly
• Patricia (10/5): - This is a mom and pop operation run by a couple of hard-working South Dakotans who give it their all. It’s humble but very very clean, and if you’re thirsty, there is a small bar steps from your door. Because this is family run, you should give a call before booking if you’ll arrive past about 9:30 p.m. The same folks to check you in will be up with the dawn the next morning, so they cannot accommodate late arrivals; check with them first, and be aware that they’re in the central time zone, which may be important if you’re coming from the west. My thanks for a good stay!
• Ian (10/5): Perfect for a Quick Night! - The motel was absolutely fantastic! Very friendly service, informative and helpful. The room was perfect for a quick night stay. It was very clean and comfortable, and had all the amenities we could want out of a room in a small town!
• Dustin (10/5): We will always stop here. - Let’s talk about it. We rolled in here as 3 idiots driving from Pittsburgh to Sturgis and back to Pittsburgh and we had such a good time here that we went out of our way to stay here twice. This is the best dive bar / hotel we each have ever stayed at, we were so welcomed at this place and the locals were so much fun to hang with. This place is fantastic. We will all be back and can’t wait to see everybody.
• walter (8/5): - Price was good
• Brandy (10/5): - This is my 2nd time staying here when traveling cross country the last 2 years. Such a cute place! Always so clean, right off I90, safe area, gas station next door, bar/restaurant on site, friendly owner and reasonably priced!! Also lots of parking for larger vehicles.
• Laura (10/5): - Room was super clean, air conditioning worked great and the bed was comfortable.

• Mark (10/5): - Great place to stay and a friendly bar with food next door. Definitely recommend.
• David (10/5): Gerry’s Motel - Great place. Super clean and newly renovated. Easy to get to room. Parking right by door. Owner takes real pride in offering a great room!
• mark (10/5): - Don’t hesitate: Stay here! Only 6 rooms and a bar, this tiny motel with a big heart has been operated by a husband and wife team for 32 years. They’re super friendly, know what they’re doing, and take pride in their service. (They also used to own a 2-story block of rooms but sold it to a neighboring motel a few years back.) Our room (#29) was small, but super clean, with a good bed, nice laminate floors (not smelly carpets), a good hot shower, mini-fridge, microwave, tv—all at a rate that beats any place nearby.
• Darcy (10/5): - This is motel was great! Owners were super friendly and very helpful.
• Mark (10/5): - Nice rooms and a great bar on the same property.

If you're staying the night on the way to or from the Badlands/Black Hills this is the place to stay!! Awesome super clean room that are totally remodeled. And price was great! Stay at Gerry's!!!
• Rebecca (10/5): - This hotel was very clean and inexpensive. If you want luxury you may consider another place. But if you want a great value with a locally owned business then this is the place. I would definitely stay again. PS stop at the tavern next door.
• Joseph (10/5): - This was a nice clean little motel. The owners were very nice and the small bar next door had good food.
• Helen (10/5): - Very pleased with our stay. Rooms were excellent. Owners very friendly
• Rick (10/5): Nice little motel off the interstate - Nice little motel that is family run off the interstate. The room was pretty small but cozy for 2 people. The bed was comfortable and there was no outside noise that kept us awake. It was a nice stay for one night!
• Taeyeong (10/5): - Very affordable and very clean.
• Ashly (10/5): - We were traveling late and had this booked as a stay. It was about 9:30 and we still hadn’t arrived yet and the owner called us to make sure we were okay. Above and beyond! She knew she’d be in bed by the time we’d arrive so she left us clear instructions and our key waiting for us. The room Was very clean and comfortable. Not very big, but I didn’t expect it to be. The fridge worked, the bed was comfortable and the ac worked perfectly! Would definitely stay again! Can’t beat the hospitality or the price!
• Gayle (10/5): Small but mighty motel. - Amazing. Second time to stay here. Owners friendly and take pride in their motel. Very clean.
• Len (8/5): - This motel is a mom and pop motel that provides the necessities and nothing more. If you want a clean bed and bath this is it. That is what most of us want so I will stay here again.
• Joseph L (10/5): Hidden Gem - Quaint and comfortable motel right off the highway. Barb and Todd are great hosts! Barb checked me in quickly and invited me over to the bar. My room was very clean and comfy with microwave + fridge. Went to the bar and had a nice dinner with Todd serving me there. Food was good and everyone was friendly. Would recommend and will definitely stay there again!
• Gary (10/5): Very clean and comfy - This is a small motel in the middle of nowhere but is clean, reasonable price and comfortable! If you are looking for a one night stay on a trip, this is a nice place for it. Doesn’t have all the frills of a high dollar hotel but is comfortable and also has a bar next to it with a small selection of good food and drinks!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - great
• Mark (8/5): - Clean small motel. Family run
• Susan (10/5): Great little place - It was a last minute decision, had reservations at another place but just couldn’t stay there. Found Gerry’s. He had good reviews and they were deserved. Friendly, quaint and welcoming. Had a small bar and grill in a separate building. Locals were there and another guest. Small group but had a great evening of comradery
• Kimberly (8/5): - Very utilitarian and served our purpose. Barb is a hoot - busy day when she checked us in but was still friendly and straight forward.
• Sarah A. (10/5): - Very clean motel. Love the little Prairie Dust bar also. It had good drinks and bar food. The air conditioner worked great, it was 100 degrees out and it kept up. We saved a lot of money stopping here and we really enjoyed our stay. Bed is very comfortable.
• Randy (10/5): - If you just want a clean bed with no breakfast, this is the place.
• Sandy (8/5): - The owner's very friendly,there little bar and restaurant loved it. Very layed back atmosphere.
• Marc (10/5): - Wonderful affordable motel in middle-of-nowhere along I-90! Super friendly couple that run the motel and the bar next door. Rooms very comfy and very clean. Firm bed with nice sheets and nice soft towels. Window AC unit cranked out the cool and smart tv. Fun friendly affordable locals bar onsite with $6 hamburgers, beers and pool table. Nice mix of local farmers and highway travelers. Quick service.
• Edward (10/5): Great stay. - Bicycle friendly. Comfortable shelter from a terrific storm. Friendly country bar next door with good food.
• Diana S (10/5): Slept well! - Very clean and very quiet. Had dinner when we arrived at the bar next door. Good food! Nothing fancy, but great place to stop and sleep if you are traveling! Bed was very comfortable!
• Kevin (10/5): Nice spot for the night - Barb was great! Check in was smooth. Loved having two king beds for our tall family. Small patio out front of room to enjoy the nice weather. Suggested dinner at local pub on motel property. Meal was delicious as well.
• Kenneth (10/5): - Clean, simple, inexpensive, nice staff, clean!
• Meghen (10/5): The Little Motel You Never Knew You NEEDED - We LOVED staying at Gerry's Motel - it was, by far, the best place we've stayed at on our road trip. Upon arrival, we had to call to check in, and Barb was immediately over to help us. She got us checked in and invited us over to the bar for dinner. The room was so clean and cozy - way better than any affordable motel in larger towns (and safer too!). We went over to the bar to eat - the food was great and affordable! We really enjoyed unwinding there after a day of driving. We sat out on the front steps outside of our room to watch the sunset and enjoy the beautiful prairie evening. Don't book this place if you're expecting amenities and things to do. This is purely a place to stay as you drive along I-90; but it is so much better than anything in Mitchell or larger surrounding towns. Gerrys Motel was QUIET, CLEAN, SAFE - not sure what else you could ask for! I can confidently say that we will happily stay at Gerrys Motel the next time we find ourselves driving across South Dakota.
• Ken (10/5): - The staff was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The room was extremely clean. I will stay here again when coming to this part of the country.
• George A. (10/5): - Very friendly owners! Clean, quiet and safe area. I would recommend this place for anyone!
• Marc (10/5): Great value! Great staff! - Great stay! Great value! I stayed in the single room so I could leave the other rooms for couples. The only minor complaint is that the shower was very small. It was no problem for me, but if you are plus-sized just be aware. The bar/cafe on site was also a plus.
• Tracie (8/5): - Friendly staff, good beer pricez. Convenient location.
• Carol (10/5): - Walls aren't paper thin, it's quiet, good room set-up, clean and comfy beds. The bar food is decent, good place to sit and unwind after a long road trip. Fabulous people run the place! Its a refreshing oasis of country living. It was fun to connect with other fellow Americans in South Dakota.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Clean and safe, with some drawbacks - Let me emphasize that the room was clean; I was very happy in that regard. I was disappointed that there was no freezer compartment in the fridge, as I needed to refreeze my ice packs for the next day. Also, the shower was very difficult to manage. I am a small person and I felt cramped and had trouble rinsing off. The shower curtain kept trying to blow inside and take half my space, so that didn't help either. This is not a black mark against the motel at all, but it is good to know that this is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. It's safe and that is always great (solo female traveler here), but you should plan ahead and eat dinner before you arrive because there are very few options in town and the nearest fast food is at least 10 miles away. Again, just something to plan for.
• Carolyn M (10/5): - Very friendly owner, super clean room, safe area. Easy access to Hwy.
• David (10/5): - Barb was awesome! Thank you so much for understanding. We had to call and inform them that we were going to be there after 11pm. Barb was nice enough to leave the keys for us so we were able to check in when we got there with no issues. Everything was clean and we got a good nights sleep. Definitely would visit again and recommend it to anyone looking for a motel thats quiet, peaceful and just off the highway in a small town. Thanks again Barb! You're the best!
• Yi (10/5): - wow, just wow. It's such a lovely little motel. room really clean and quite, owner is friendly and helpful. the experience is far beyond my expectation for a relatively cheap price.
• sarah (10/5): - It’s a gem! Room was lovely as was the staff.
• Gregory (10/5): - Neat, clean...comfortable bed
• Barbara (10/5): - This place was very nice and the couple who own it were awesome. The beds were very comfortable we would definitely come back here
• Jerry (8/5): - This was a great place to stay for one night. Clean rooms, friendly owners, good food. Thanks for the hospitality.
• William (6/5): - It was OK. Only one place to eat dinner.
• Mary (10/5): - The set up of rooms was great for two couples since there was separate sleeping areas.
• Richard or Eileen (10/5): - A great, quiet little place. Nothing fancy. Just a good, clean, comfortable place to stay at a very reasonable price.
