“Comfortable overnight stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We were traveling through this area November 2012, when we started having truck problems and ended up having to put our truck in the shop for the night. The truck personal said they would take us to the Americas Best Value Inn which they recommended. We were a little leery at first not knowing anything about this what seemed to be a small motel but once we checked in and went into our room( #121) we were amazed. It was so nice and clean. Actually to us it was simple but beautiful. The king sized bed was comfortable, the bathroom vanity was spotless and beautiful and so was the bathroom. We loved it. Also, the breakfast was nice with a great variety of foods to choose from hot or cold. And last when we checked out, the clerk was very pleasant. As a matter of fact, everyone there was so nice and we were also pleased with the price. We will stay again and have already recommended this motel to our friends and family. Thank you, Denise G.

“Good Value, Clean & Nice Complimentary Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

Stayed here mid August 2012. The inn was great - not too far out of town and eateries and stores close by. The rooms and public areas were kept clean and smart - decoration was good. Breakfast was great - plenty of choice and served through to a reasonable time.Front desk lady was very helpful. All in all a great stay at a good rate. Would stay there again.

“We got more than we paid for.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

We have stayed in many, many hotels. Most were very good but we have never been so impressed as to write a review. Of course the hotel is clean and comfortable with wonderful mattresses. The staff was friendly and concerned for our wellbeing. When we got home and realized we had left an expensive sweater behind, the staff found it and a pillow we had forgotten about and are shipping them to us. For the first time, our 'left behinds' were actually still there and it was quite a few days before we called. A great four days in South Dakota.

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

We ended up in a hotel in Rapid City by accident, because of a rental car problem, but we could not have found a better place. Friendly atmosphere, extremely helpfull staff, very flexible when they learned of our problems.

Great room, very clean.

The breakfast, included in the room price, was beyond excellent.

Our next stay here wll not be accidental, but quite on purpose!
