I booked for a room 3 months before our travel date, but when we arrived at 5pm, their office was closed. When I tried to twist the door knob, a dog barked from inside. I called the number posted on the door, and the person who answered the call said that my booking was cancelled and that they were overbooked for the night. Hotels.com should stop transacting with this motel. My booking was non refundable, but since I didn’t receive the service, I should get my money back. I’m still waiting for my refund.
Lynn
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!
michael
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.

WORST HOTEL
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
Douglas
The quaintness. The office was a wreck. The beds needed new mattress. The drains in sink and in bath tub did not drain.
Connie
Really bad
Bedbugs, need I say more?
Patricia
No one was at motel desk. They neither answered the posted phone number nor was my call returned.
Maxine
Close to Black Hills. The Manager was very pleasant
John
Old motel in poor condition. Very noisy from traffic and AC. Apparently no way to control the temperature other than turning the AC on and off. The bed was comfortable.
MeShell
Upon arrival we were told a water pipe burst in our room. We had to find another hotel. We were offered a full refund, which would be processed immediately. It's the next day and we haven't seen or heard from anyone on the refund.
Stacie
They gave me a room that was disgusting and did not even check on me. Apparently, the manager took off and there was no one working!!
Stacie
So the first time I stayed I was put in a very clean room and felt safe. This was my second stay and theanager apparently quit and left. I got a not so clean room, fridge was old and had broken parts, and the carpet was super nasty. I saw people going to a room for 5 minutes and leaving. There were 5 broke down vehicles in the lot. I do not think I will be staying there again!!
Josh
Don't try to stay here!! Thats all!!
Mark
The property manager was awesome! I think he need to become a Standup Comedian.

Location on Mt. Rushmore Rd. (US 16) is convenient to many useful businesses like Perkins, Safeway, MacDonald's, Walgreens, and numerous gas stations. The street itself is very noisy and quite busy, though the room itself is remarkably shielded from the noise. All the handles in the bathroom are marginal in some way, including the door and we almost felt like we could lock ourselves into the bathroom if we shut the door all the way. However, we could make everything work. There is no coffee-maker, but the microwave works well if you have something in which to heat water. Refrigerator works well. Many people who patronize the motel seem to be smokers, so there are little buckets and a chair outside the rooms for people to smoke and extinguish the butts. Depending on the luck of the draw, you can get smoke smell in the room if you have the window open. Probably best to keep the window closed and use the AC/heater, which worked well and was blessedly quiet. TV is small but has good range of channels, located a long ways from the chairs you would sit in to watch. TV sits on top of a useful chest of drawers. Parking is well-organized if tight to get in and out. This is an urban motel and fits into the space available in this part of Rapid City. You have to call for check-in, etc., but this worked fine. Somewhat disappointed that towels were partially replenished and trash emptied one day but not the next. All in all, recommended at the price.

Grocery store across the street, restaurant next door, neighborhood to walk in and parking right in front of our room. Meyer was very helpful in helping me clean up when I spilled my morning shake on my white pants. Thought I'd throw them away but he was able to get the stain completely out. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean with nice white towels and the shower water pressure was good and strong. No coffee maker in the list of amenities but when I asked for one it was placed in our room before we arrived. I'd stay here again on a return visit.

Great value in Rapid City!
I needed a place to stay for one night before a family reunion in the Hills. This looked like a good value in a good location. Check in was quick and the clerk was friendly. The room was clean and spacious. There was a refrigerator and a table with two chairs. The bathroom was on the smaller side but the shower worked well. There was coffee available in the morning as well as baskets of bananas and granola bars. I woke up pretty early and walked one parking lot over to Perkins for early coffee. There’s a Safeway across the street, and downtown is only a few minutes away. There’s a decent washer and dryer available for use as well. It’s a fairly busy road but the traffic noise was minimal at nighttime. It was a good value for the price and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Hannsjörg
The room was fine but very dark. Only one light was connected to an outlet and the window was very small. Other than that, the room was as expected.
james
The bathroom was very small but I found the room to be clean and comfortable. I had everything I needed. A Perkins right next door was very convenient.
Darrell
This hotel is located close to hospital, grocery store, gas station and the interstate.
Joseph
This motel was good for me as a single traveler. Had everything I needed. Safeway across the street and a Marcos pizza next door.
Remis
Great little motel, friendly staff
Robert
Convenient location, great for short stay.
Jeff
Overall it was decent. Somewhat dated. Seemed a little pricey, but compared to others it was a good price.
Robin
Ok for price.
Malcolm
It was a good property for the money, but it's very old and very small. The carpet smelled very musty. The room was very clean and that is the most important thing for which I look on a stay.
isabelle
Place is old, needs remodeling, carpet, bedding, curtains mattress everything must go! Is dark smells like smoke and is just nasty! Don’t understand why they charge so much money for this place.
Debra

Sweet cakes and bananas for breakfast
GREG
Motel was OK nothing special but it’s only for one night.
Marie
Room smelled, sheets stained, used toothpick on bed, towels old & stained. We didn't stay. Very disappointed in cleanliness, but the staff was friendly.
Chris
Disappointed.
Bathroom was small. Hardly any lighting. Parking not much room to get by other vehicles. Had to park 3 doors down from Room.Room smelled musty. Not worth $98 a night. Better paying the extra for a higher class hotel or go to supper 8 or motel 6. Motel 6 was a dollar higher.
Seema
They were overbooked so they moved us to a different place. It worked out for us and because of the swap they gave us a discount.
Friendly staff. Ok breakfast.

DENISE
This motel is very old and not in a quaint way. The room was very small and hard to maneuver around for two people and their bags. The tile in the bathroom was broken, and we were afraid to use the tub. The TV, microwave, refrigerator, and a/c unit all functioned well. The furniture had all seen not only better decades, but a better century as well. The carpet was old and sticky. When someone smoked outside the room, the smoke came in under the door, and made the entire room stink. The bed was tilted. My traveling companion kept sliding towards my side of the bed, and I actually slid out at one point!!!
Ronald
Comfortable stay
Room was clean and comfortable. Front desk person was very friendly and welcoming.
Donna
Clean, very small room, no coffee, said continental breakfast but office still not open at 8:30 and no breakfast! Over priced for the quality
Anne
For an older motel it was good. The breakfast started too late for us to use. It would be nice if the was a voucher for the Perkins next door.
Pete
Nice Little Place
It was perfect, the AC was cold and the water was hot for showers. Its a bit older place but I would stay there again every time I was in town and it was clean and tidy.
The prices are fair too!
Lots of food choices nearby and anything else you may need.
Has a microwave and a fridge too !
Flat Screen TV with a ton of channels FYI

When you go inexpensive you take a chance. The room was clean, and well kept. Everything was stocked. The office staff was friendly. The motel was right next door to Perkins and there was a Safeway across the street. Really happy with the experience ☺️

This place should be torn down .
Donna
not so good
The people at the desk were very friendly. The room was very disappointing. The bathroom door had been kicked in from the inside. Instead of replacing it they just patched it. I was very disappointed in my stay there!
Verified traveler
The best thing about this hotel is the people running it. They are friendly and accommodating. On the downside, this is an old motel with no amenities. It is kept clean and the room itself was comfortable enough
Sadly, this area is grossly overpriced
