The bathroom was very small but I found the room to be clean and comfortable. I had everything I needed. A Perkins right next door was very convenient.

Old motel in poor condition. Very noisy from traffic and AC. Apparently no way to control the temperature other than turning the AC on and off. The bed was comfortable.

So the first time I stayed I was put in a very clean room and felt safe. This was my second stay and theanager apparently quit and left. I got a not so clean room, fridge was old and had broken parts, and the carpet was super nasty. I saw people going to a room for 5 minutes and leaving. There were 5 broke down vehicles in the lot. I do not think I will be staying there again!!

Grocery store across the street, restaurant next door, neighborhood to walk in and parking right in front of our room. Meyer was very helpful in helping me clean up when I spilled my morning shake on my white pants. Thought I'd throw them away but he was able to get the stain completely out. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean with nice white towels and the shower water pressure was good and strong. No coffee maker in the list of amenities but when I asked for one it was placed in our room before we arrived. I'd stay here again on a return visit.

Great value in Rapid City!

I needed a place to stay for one night before a family reunion in the Hills. This looked like a good value in a good location. Check in was quick and the clerk was friendly. The room was clean and spacious. There was a refrigerator and a table with two chairs. The bathroom was on the smaller side but the shower worked well. There was coffee available in the morning as well as baskets of bananas and granola bars. I woke up pretty early and walked one parking lot over to Perkins for early coffee. There’s a Safeway across the street, and downtown is only a few minutes away. There’s a decent washer and dryer available for use as well. It’s a fairly busy road but the traffic noise was minimal at nighttime. It was a good value for the price and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Location on Mt. Rushmore Rd. (US 16) is convenient to many useful businesses like Perkins, Safeway, MacDonald's, Walgreens, and numerous gas stations. The street itself is very noisy and quite busy, though the room itself is remarkably shielded from the noise. All the handles in the bathroom are marginal in some way, including the door and we almost felt like we could lock ourselves into the bathroom if we shut the door all the way. However, we could make everything work. There is no coffee-maker, but the microwave works well if you have something in which to heat water. Refrigerator works well. Many people who patronize the motel seem to be smokers, so there are little buckets and a chair outside the rooms for people to smoke and extinguish the butts. Depending on the luck of the draw, you can get smoke smell in the room if you have the window open. Probably best to keep the window closed and use the AC/heater, which worked well and was blessedly quiet. TV is small but has good range of channels, located a long ways from the chairs you would sit in to watch. TV sits on top of a useful chest of drawers. Parking is well-organized if tight to get in and out. This is an urban motel and fits into the space available in this part of Rapid City. You have to call for check-in, etc., but this worked fine. Somewhat disappointed that towels were partially replenished and trash emptied one day but not the next. All in all, recommended at the price.

Nice Little Place

It was perfect, the AC was cold and the water was hot for showers. Its a bit older place but I would stay there again every time I was in town and it was clean and tidy. The prices are fair too! Lots of food choices nearby and anything else you may need. Has a microwave and a fridge too ! Flat Screen TV with a ton of channels FYI

It was a good property for the money, but it's very old and very small. The carpet smelled very musty. The room was very clean and that is the most important thing for which I look on a stay.

For an older motel it was good. The breakfast started too late for us to use. It would be nice if the was a voucher for the Perkins next door.
