I would rather sleep in my car then ever stay at this filthy dump. It was disgusting!!!!! The room smelled horrible, very musty, nasty smell. The door looked like it had been broken into and not repaired very well. Bugs in the bathroom, disgusting dirty carpet, hair in the bed. Pulled the mattress pad up to see what we were... More

Filthy, disgusting and scary. No sound profing in the walls or ceiling. We could hear every noise the neighbors made. At three am the people above us started pounding on the floor so hard I thought our ceiling was going to fall on our heads. They then started screaming in Spanish. Some one tossed some liquid off the second story... More

The room smelled awful, we had to leave the door open to air it out. I didn't dare walk on the carpet with out shoes or slippers. The handle on the toilet fell off after it was flushed twice, and then it about overflowed and we didn't put to much tp in to make it do so. We couldn't figure... More

If you want nostalga and a trip across mid America then this is your motel. Located on the very busy through town route to Mount Rushmore on US-16 it attracts folks on motorcycle tours as well as families on a budget and locals who need an inexpensive room for a few nights or more. It is in pretty good shape... More

This place sucks, I grew up in the hotel business, they need to cut their losses and burn this [--] to the ground, likely displacing all the thugs, fatherless children, and drug addicts. The room is disgusting, smells likeweek old diapers. Dirty is an understatement. You won't be clean by taking a shower here because by the time u touch... More

We had a medical emergency and had to find a hotel very close to the hospital, and being high season in Rapid City/Black Hills, this was the lowest price hotel we found-paid $99 including tax for a double bed room. The air conditioning wall unit smelled like smoke when we turned it on, and didn't work anyways, there were exposed... More

Our hotel room was not serviced the first day. Our bed was unmade, there were dirty linen and towels, the carpet was not vacuumed and the garbage cans were full. We had purchased food but the refrigerator was broken. The clerk had no authority to move us to a similar room, even though she said they were available. I went... More
