Expedia should not advertise a restaurant and bar. They should not advertise fire pit availability. They should have the ability to notify guests when the pool does not function. That is 3 things that steered us here that do not function or exist and is truly dissapointing and of not fault of the awesome staff that said theyve tried to reach out to Expedia with no luck.

The Badlands NP

Old rustic hotel and basic necessities provided: towels, soap, and shampoo & conditioner, 1 small bag of ice for every 2 nights. Air conditioning unit is very loud but it helped to cover neighbors’ noise since the walls are very thin. Has a small fridge, tv and coffee maker. Main office has convenient items for purchase and staff is very nice and friendly. About 2 - 3 places to eat near hotel. Mainly pizza/chicken nuggets/hamburgers type of food. Runs about $12-20/person. The best reason to stay at the hotel is the distance from The Badlands National Park and the price.

My partner and I stayed here on a roadtrip after visiting Badlands. The room was clean, the check-in process a big lengthy in signing various forms, but the biggest inconvenience was the lack of food options for dinner and lack of grocery or convenience stores to buy items like water. I'd stay here again but would and would reccomend to anyone else to bring plenty of supplies as you will be unlikely to find open places locally to buy items.

You are one mile from the entrance to the Bad Lands National Park and the best designated trails. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was neat and clean. The facilities are a bit date and rustic, but you have to remember that you are at least an hour from any real town or city. A fun stay in a beautiful setting.

It was a great place to stay & central for a trip to the Badlands NP. The only complaint was the office not opening until 9am & offering breakfast when most people travelling would be on the road well before that,

Great place to stay in the Badlands

We loved this motel and Campground in Interior, SD, and recommend it as a comfortable and safe spot to stay while exploring the Badlands. We stayed in a motel room. It was just fine for the price. It was very clean and we were very comfortable. They are about to embark on a major remodel so I won't bother mentioning what needs to be updated. There are very few options for food in the tiny town so be prepared. We did eat at The Wagon Wheel. Very friendly local bar with freezer to fryer food and burgers. Cowboy Corner is a little convenience store with drip coffee anything you might need.
