Good option for budget hotel. Beds had clean white linens, rooms were small but pleasant enough with interesting artwork and vinyl plank flooring. Best part is the Badlands view. There were a lot of flies in the area though. Good pizza place very close.

I stayed in a town called Institute, SD. Had two bars and a gas station. Was right outside the trailhead to a section of the bad lands. Was a great time and my room did everything I wanted. Beautiful sunsets and rises.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Conveniently located on the East side of the park where we entered. Love the motel vibe where you can walk just steps to your car to unload…ground floor. When we headed out to Mt Rushmore the next day we then drove through the park drive to the West side and saw all the sites.

This property is rustic, but the rooms are clean. A little updating to the furniture and bathroom areas would help. Breakfast is not included. There is a small store and options are available for breakfast at a cost. We would stay here again because it is so close to Badlands NP

Great location/good value

Cindy, at the front desk, was extremely helpful and efficient. Bed was very comfortable. Suoer close to Badlands National Park. No ice machine, but front desk was able to provide ice upon request. Towels were thin. Could use a towel bar in bathroom that is not above toilet paper holder.
