Quaint community. Kitchenette with freezer is great. The local bar and grill is laid back, the owners sweet and personable. Relaxing. Room is nice but walls do transfer noise from adjacent rooms. Beds are very comfortable. Will recommend.

This was a quiet little place. Close to the badlands. It was as advertised. Everything was clean and neat. Easy to get into and out of. Not much of a town but that's good for us. I do think the train operator was having fun with the tourist, alot of train horn for such a little place.

I highly recommend this cute little motel in a city of “82” people. Recently, renovated, clean, comfy, off the beaten path, with a classic ol’ time bar in town. (Fried bread tacos and pizza). Love surprises like this one! Check it out!

We unfortunately only stayed overnight and departed the next morning. The motel room was extremely clean, and all appliances and furnishings appeared to be nearly brand-new. Check in was very simple. Beds were great. I wish we would have stayed at least one more night, as it appears to be a great jumping-off point to do all sorts of activities in the area. Highly recommended!
