Guest Reviews
- Lorita (6/5): - The outside of the hotel needed some updating, but the room had been updated and was very nice and clean.
- Danny (6/5): - Room was clean, but had flies and gnats buzzing around inside the room. Single room was small, no desk, "office" chair wouldn't raise up. Staff were still cleaning when i checked in after 6pm. AC unit was LOUD, and wouldn't adjust to cool w/o a lot of FAN NOISE, so I had to turn it off (which left room humid.) Otherwise satisfactory, but for one night only.
- Robyn (4/5): Very Strange - From the pictures on the website, I couldn’t tell if some of the rooms were really really small, that’s the way it looked so I booked a room with extra beds. I didn’t need any extra beds. I just did not want to feel claustrophobic in a small room. When I got there, the girl at the desk who seem to be on something told me that I didn’t need that room and she would put me someplace else and get me a refund of the difference. She showed me a room that was fine so I said OK. She was very high anxiety, nervous, manic, and quite frankly I didn’t wanna deal with her. The room smelled very strongly of some kind of air freshener, but that went away after we ran the fan for a while. Room itself was OK. It had what we needed and was clean and well kept. I never did get any kind of a refund and I am not at all surprised about that. I think when you rent a room, it’s not their call to decide to change it if you are willing to pay for it, and it was already paid for with my credit card through hotels.com. It was really weird. We left in the morning without getting any ice because they keep it inside the office and the door was locked so it didn’t appear anyone was there or available so we dropped the key and left.
- Glenn (10/5): - Very nice place to stay. Newly remolded rooms.
- LuAnn (10/5): - Adorable little inn. Very clean.
- marianr590 (8/5): A Chamberlain welcome - An unassuming motel but a nice surprise inside with a lovely setup in the bathroom, nice hand crafted art and a great counter to place your stuff on. Customer friendly (even late book in) staff who welcomed me. Good job ! Oh and lots of pillows too.
- Diane (2/5): - I was sick I need to cancel the reservation and could not get through to anybody I’m very upset
- Sandra (8/5): Rustic and Comfortable - I really enjoyed the size of the room and the separation of the beds into two enclaves. It was almost like having separate rooms. I also enjoyed the woodwork in the room.
- Stuart (2/5): - NON WORKING DEAD BOLT AND CHAIN STAINED BEDSHEET FLIES NO BEDSIDE LAMP DIRTY FLOOR
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice. - Newly remodeled rooms are very nice.
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Richard was very accommodating and gave us an upgraded room with a river view. No ice maker on site but when we asked, Richard gave us a full bag of ice. Grocery store less than one minute away by car. Ask for a remodeled room
- Colleen (4/5): - Easy to find however,walking up to the door we noticed what poor condition it was you could see outside through the bottom edge of door, curtain was hanging off the rod I had to fix it. Bathroom was very clean and in good shape. When pulling back the comforter the sheets had some stains on them and the sides of mattress were stained ?( not something you want to see) and the knock on our door at 8:30 was not appreciated.
- Stacy (10/5): - Spacious room, clean and very nicely decorated. Very nice staff and owner.
- Carol (8/5): - The room was remodeled with American Indian decor which was very nice. The room was very clean. There were no towel bars or chairs in the room.
- Nadine (4/5): - Didn’t have the rooms I paid for (3 bed suites) Ended up putting teenagers in a separate room. Scary. Bathroom door didn’t shut. Room near road was noisy and window shade in door didn’t completely shut. People in parking lot threatened my teenage son. Manager pounded on my door at midnight threatening to call police thinking I was harboring someone. Thankfully kids slept through that. Not even an apology for having the wrong room. Definitely not worth the price!! Next time I would keep driving if that was all that was available.
- Sarah (8/5): - The guy who helped me to check-in was extremely nice! We checked in super late (around 2AM) and he didn’t hesitate to offer to help me carry my luggage from the car. The rooms were much more updated on the inside than I would have thought. We had reserved a room with two queen beds, but ended up with two queen beds and a twin. It was a great layout!
- Martina (2/5): - The smell of the room when we arrived was absolutely horrendous, almost had to turn around and leave. Would definitely not recommend this place.
- Mary (8/5): - This is no frills but quaint. Bathroom was clean. Room had a unique wood wall that was nicely done. The only problem was they used something to clean the floors that left a residue on our feet. If affordable is a priority this was the best price in town. Would stay here again.
- Kelly (10/5): - Recently updates and very clean. Easy walk to food and entertainment.
- BONNIE (10/5): - The motel is older but the room in which I stayed was very clean, had been updated and had a microwave and mini-fridge, which were appreciated. Cable TV and free WiFi are available. I understand the owners are in the process of updating the facility. For my room, I would only suggest adding a reading lamp in the back bedroom. In this day of increasing costs everywhere, their rates are so reasonable and for my money, I had a great stay.
- David (10/5): - Nice stay. Nice and helpful proprietors. Everything I expected expect the room heater did not work very well. Other than the heat, everything else was great.
- Sheila (6/5): - We used a 3 bed room. Room was clean, but we could strongly smell the owners cigarette smoke though the walls and Owner did laundry when we were trying to sleep and it was very loud above our bed.
- Michael (10/5): - Clean, comfortable room. Staff was friendly and helpful. Older property but well maintained. Quiet location and got a restful night's sleep.
- Jennifer (6/5): - The room was smaller than my bedroom back home...
- Lance (10/5): - Rich was very accommodating
- Nancy (2/5): - We were getting in late and had spoken to the manager about our late arrival. We got there and they did not answer the door bell or 2 cell phone calls. I reached the second manager and accidentally woke him up. He was not on site so told me I needed to reach the one not answering the phone. They refunded my money today but we ended up sleeping in the car, without a blanket, at a rest stop. Mistakes happen, but an apology would have been nice.
- Nick (4/5): - The property and room themselves were not the worst I’ve ever experienced, although they were not great. The issue was that we booked a king suite room with king bed, fireplace and kitchenette and were told upon arrival that there were no more king suite rooms. Our room did not have king bed, fireplace or kitchenette. We paid almost $100 for a room that should have cost $50.
- Elizabeth (4/5): Not the worst place we have ever stayed - The bathroom was clean, the shower worked well. The bed was okay.we couldn’t get the TV to work. The mini fridge was unplugged and we would have had to move furniture to plug it in. This place seemed to be popular with the large road crew that was working on a huge project in town so some other places weren’t available. The overall condition was pretty worn down looking
- Andrea (4/5): NO SLEEP - When we arrived my husbamd was meet with a sign on the door to call for check in and quite the "character " outside. The man at check in was nice. We stayed in room #18 it was very small but remodeled and clean. After that all downhill!! People are living here we were awakened multiple times all night with slamming doors,knocking on doors,music and loud conversations across the parking area. I couldn't take anymore we left at 4am. DEFINITELY not worth what we paid!
- henrygaynor (8/5): Better than it appears. - Seems as if upgrades are ongoing and granted, it may not look like much, but our room had been recently painted and the furniture all matched and looked new. Beds were comfy, lots of towels and toiletries. Bathroom was nice and clean. Rich at the front desk was awesome! I’d rather stay here than some anonymous chain.
- Jimmi (10/5): Clean - Very clean. Recently nicely remolded. Would stay again.
- Jim (2/5): - While there are reports of property renovations underway, the room I got was circa 1960. It was not clean nor did it smell clean. This was at best a $50/night room. At 5am people were drinking, smoking and talking on chairs outside my room. I tried to give a non-name brand property a chance but it won’t happen again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Room was big but smelled musty.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was friendly… room is brand new and was comfortable…
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Expedia had the incorrect amount of beds listed. The owner was very accommodating and brought in another bed for us. The room was recently remodeled by the owner himself. It was spacious and gorgeous. A diamond in the rough
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The elderly motel shows effort at modernization. However, two double beds separated by the bathroom were just weird. Lighting was dim and inadequate. Worst of all was the strong odor of mold and mildew emanating from the bathroom wall a foot from my face. I wore a mask all night. It also helped repel the carnivorous flies which saw me as their legitimate prey. No ice machine.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Rooms were small but nice. The bed was fairly small for 2 people and the sound proofing is poor, you can here you neighbors clearly
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Although the bathroom was small, there was a mix-up with our reservation, so they upgraded us to a suite that included a kitchenette and fireplace for no extra charge.
- Martha (8/5): - We were presently surprised by the remodel in the room we stayed in. Clean and modern :)
- Kevin (10/5): Excellent place! - Excellent motel. Friendly staff. Clean room. Had a fire pit out front that several families sat around making it great to meet and visit with others.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Was able to book at the last minute
- Verified traveler (2/5): Scary environment - Ended up leaving after seeimg the room. Very old and ran down, had odd smell. The carpet had stains, as well as the bedding. The bathtub was dirty. There was a group of people gathered together in the parking lot around a fire (which was in a charcoal grill) having alcoholic beverages.
- STEVEN (8/5): Great value - Very friendly staff. We stayed two nights (in different rooms). The first night was in one of the older rooms, and I would rate it a 2.5 out of 5 stars. The second night was in a remodeled room, and it was much nicer (4.5 out of 5 stars).
- Virginia (8/5): - Not enough outlets. No coffee available
- daniellesD5993GD (10/5): Stay here! - When I saw that motels in Rapid City were going for hundreds of dollars a night, I decided to stop here instead en route to Montana. It's very clean, quiet, and well-equipped for the price. Worth your time.
- Ellen (10/5): Great service, location and prices! - Great customer service, location and prices. Rooms have everything you need and there are restaurants within walking distance. Fire pit and visiting area on premises. Spacious parking
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Cute little motel with easy access to our room. I liked the benches they have out front of each room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This hotel reminds me of places I stayed when I was a kid before big chains popped up everywhere. It’s nothing special, but it’s a nice little place in a nice little town. There’s no ice on the property, but Greg in the office offered us the last of a bag he had. No breakfast, but there’s a wonderful place in town we ate that was excellent. The scenery a few blocks down is beautiful, as it is right on the banks of the Missouri River.
- Penny (10/5): Nice - Newly remodeled room. Very friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice, very clean. Staff bey nice. Neatly remodeled. Would recommend.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The Bel Aire is an older hotel and the amenities of the rooms are dated. However, the rooms are very clean and quiet, the mattresses are good, the linens are decent, the water is hot and plentiful, the air conditioning is adequate, and the cable tv is good. Though the property is dated, it is in very good repair. A good value. I would stay again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very friendly and helpful. Very clean as well. We got one of the last rooms that is being renovated. They are doing a great job! No recycling - but that's true across a lot of the west.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - They double booked & eventually got us room in this outdated motel with a few rooms remodeled. Shower head no good if you are over 5 ft tall. Plus the host likes to have a few while manning the counter. Would not recommend
- Cheri (10/5): Quick stay - Just a quick overnight pit stop, GREAT water pressure!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I already felt fortunate just to book a room at a great price for our party of seven, but we were all excited to find the room newly remodeled, very spacious, and comfortable! Flat screen with Hulu, gas fireplace, and kitchenette were unexpected bonuses (as Expedia info has not yet been updated). Service (by owner who bought motel within the last year) was excellent. Only disappointment: we only stayed 1 night as we headed to western destinations.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It's old but quaint
- Verified traveler (2/5): - No room available for stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great people
- jodyg745 (8/5): Great service in a budget motel - This was a last minute reservation and Gregg, the owner, was very accommodating. It is an older motel that he is updating. Pros: comfy bed, larger than usual motel fridge and roku tv. Greg was so pleasant and aims to please. The housekeepers, Elgin and Priscilla were very accommodating. It was very quiet at night. Budget friendly, under $100. Not really cons: older motel. Small room but certainly adequate. Met our needs, friendly service.
- S-Wuzui (8/5): Under new owner - This is a family run business. Me and my family wish all the best to new owners. We did not see that many bad aspects, why it has so few good reviews in TA, we do not understand. Oh yeah! bit more noise insulation would be better. As it is great with great location and clean beat rooms.
- steven22222018 (10/5): Excellent value - I was driving from Virginia to Seattle and came upon this very clean hotel at a great price I always ask myself why does somebody pay twice as much in a namebrand hotel when they can support a local hotel this was a good choice on my part
- elizabethr517 (10/5): New Owner Very Friendly - We were driving to Mt. Rushmore and Rapid City from MN. We had decided to drive as far as we could before we crashed for the night. We happened upon the Bel Aire Motel. So glad we did. Greg the new owner was at the check in desk. He invited us to check out the newly remodeled room. As a realtor I was very impressed with the small details. It did not feel like a run down old motel. It was convenient and the price was great. I was worried there would be road noise or I'd hear the neighbors who were sitting outside their room socializing. But I did not and I slept very well. Greg came by the next day as he was tiddying up and cleaning other rooms to ask us how our stay was. We chatted with him for about an hour. He was professional, kind, and welcoming. So glad we got so luck. We stayed there 7/15/2020
- EricS90 (10/5): New owner working hard to make better - We stayed at this location recently on our way to the Black Hills. It is an older roadside motel with a new owner who is working hard to update and refresh it. Greg is a very nice guy who is concerned that his customers are taken care of happy. He just had his grand opening at the end of May. Want a comfortable place to crash, give him a shot. We are normally the big chains stayers like at Wyndam or Choice but were very pleased staying here. He is also putting in new coffee makers in the rooms and has the large Roku TV's in the rooms so you can watch your netflix or prime without bring a device with you.
- V5361OVdavidh (2/5): The Motel has gone out of business!!!! - I planned a motorcycle trip out to the Rockies and did not want to get stuck without a room during the busy summer months. I booked all my rooms a month before my trip. Imagine my surprise when I pulled in after a long days ride to find an empty, weed covered parking lot and an abandoned hotel with a "Closed for the Season" sign hung on the door!!!! These things happen but geez, not even a notification from TripAdvisor?!! Obviously you are unaware of the closing as well since I got this opportunity to "review my stay.". I DIDN'T STAY!!!!! Fortunately I got a room up the road. Hope you publish and let people know! I am Leary of using TripAdvisor too and will be watching my credit card closely for charges!
- claudiorG5642LO (2/5): Old room - Maybe I just had bad luck, but I stayed in an old room (to have an idea have a tube TV), moldy smell, old furniture nothing exciting and the high of the shower is really low. If you can choose another hotel, it will be good.
- Count_Blah (6/5): Overall a decent stay - Good accommodations, aside from WiFi, I was forced to use my phone to tether to my laptop to get internet access. Good walking distance to a Subway Restaurant, which proved nice. The ice machine was well stocked and clean as well.
- Q8691RGdereks (8/5): Good place to stay for the cost. - The rooms were clean, and they are in the process of updating. The staff were very friendly and very helpful with places to eat as well as outdoor activities. I went golfing early on the day of my check out and I was going to be late getting back. They worked with me with that by not charging me for another night. I had a great experience with everything that I decided to stay another night. I know that with the new management they will be up and coming :) They are implementing new things as they progress into this new transition of new management. Great people at the Bel-Aire !!!!
