Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Not a new luxury hotel, but clean, quiet, comfortable, and close to and convenient to everything in Keystone, Custer State Park, the Badlands, Rapid City etc. at a very reasonable price. Left us with more money to do things in the area! All guests were convivial and host was awesome.

Amazing breakfast

The motel is a little bit faded but the staff are certainly trying to do their best. For the price it has an extremely convenient location and offers a hot breakfast with a wide selection of cold food. I would certainly stay here again.
