Not a luxury hotel/motel but perfectly comfortable and clean. Front desk people were very nice and outgoing and helpful! At breakfast they went above and beyond making sure we got all the food we needed and told us to take some for the road. Inexpensive compared to the rest of the places in rapid city. Absolutely worth the stay. Also pool was semi-heated and very clean.

Not a 5 star hotel but thats not what you’re paying for here. Honestly much nicer than you might expect for a room at this price point. Remodeled rooms, fresh linens, cold AC, clean bathrooms and flat screen TV’s, in addition to friendly front desk staff? I would definitely recommend this place and will be staying again. Only caveat is that they have metal keys and the front desk staff leaves at night so make sure you don’t lock yourself out of your room like I did.

I would highly recommend this hotel. We decided to stay there when we went on vacation a couple weeks ago. Two adults & four young children. We got a room that was perfect for our family! They were very accommodating to us & our requests. Extremely hospitable as well! We plan to stay there again next year.

This motel off town was so good. Close enough to just walk into town right around the corner from some ice cream. Was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and smelled good. Bathroom was clean. Breakfast was good, they had mini bagels, English muffins and toast. Will recommend.

If you like boutique lodging, the townhouse is great value. The rooms are clean and staff is friendly. We always try to stay at small, local places. It was nice to be within walking distance to restaurants and ice cream. This is a nice motel downtown and we enjoyed our 2 nights there

I have a big family and I was having a hard time finding a big room for us and the manager Sean was so Understanding and awesome. He had a big family room with 2 twin beds and 2 Queen beds and they had a Pack & Play for my son. He is one great responsible and Respectful Manger. The motel is a nice and comfy place. A+

One of the old motels we stayed in but the cleanest by far. Called to reserve 30 minutes before and the young lady at the desk opened our room, turned on the A/C, and wiped down all the surfaces. The motel itself is so old (retro) that the tile in the bathroom was PINK!!! Was only there for the night but wished all our vacation motel rooms were that good. Would only be better if they did breakfast or coffee.

Small little motel but comfortable and clean. It's a bit dated but we enjoyed it, little blast from the past. Staff was awesome and did everything to make our stay great. Spent two days there, would stay again, nice location too.
