Shoo fly

The hotel is close to the Badlands and other tourist destinations. There are a couple gas stations across the street. The ladies at the office were very nice and changed our room from the second floor to the first when I mentioned a mobility condition. It is an older hotel and we had many flies in our room. We noticed fly traps hanging from the second floor railing, so it appears the property is aware of the problem. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. They offered coffee and donuts for breakfast.

This is our second time at the Budget Inn. Both times we just needed a place to stay for a night and the price is right, we had a room big enough for 5 people. Nothing fancy but fulfills a need. Nice people.

This is a basic budget motel. It was clean and comfortable and reasonably priced. We opted to stay here the night before we visited Badlands National Park. It was a few miles east of the park.

The property was old but the staff kept it clean and sufficient. I had my own air spray so that helped with the odor of old room/cleaning products smell. I was woken by the sound of the tv in the unit above. The old window air conditioner was effectively keeping my room temperature cool and the convenience of right off the highway and across from a restaurant was okay. The kindness of the staff made my stay pleasant.

They were working on the road so they can't help that. But they could post the pool will not be open. Period!

Motel was acceptable. somewhat dated. Front desk staff was cordial and effective. Internet is very limited. There is very limited dining available in very small town. The one redeeming feature for this motel is its closeness to the badlands. Unfortunately there is no dining opportunity in town, other than service station snacks for late arrivals after around 7pm.

Great value, very clean.

Surprisingly clean and quiet inside. Safe. Great value for a simple and clean motel. It looks sketchy from the outside but it did the job just fine. Bed was super comfortable, air conditioner was perfect, shower was great. No frills, not fancy.
