Badlands Inn

“This hotel was the most beautiful place I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in my entire life/travels. There was nothing like waking up, looking out my window and seeing the badlands right in front of me. The grounds are beautiful, the hotel is clean, the hospitality workers were fabulous. There were deer outside every morning. The town next door was so cute too. You can take the highway right to rapid city through the back way & it’s super scenic. I will 100% be back here. Amazing.”

“We loved the Inn. Location can't be beat. Room was clean. Beds were comfy. As someone else said, you might want to manage your expectations. It's not a 5-star luxury hotel, but we sure appreciated it. Charming, spacious room. Shower in our room was very short for tall people.”

“This place is just a few hundred yards from the park entrance. It's nothing fancy, but a great location and spot to sleep. No ice machine which we really could have used. It's awesome to watch the moon rise over the Badlands from your hotel though! I would definitely recommend if you need a quick place to stay. Super reasonable price, good customer service.”

“The location couldn't be better: just outside the visitors' entrance to Badlands National Park. This motel is nothing fancy, so adjust your expectations accordingly. But the rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and the view of the park's towering formations (especially from the second floor rooms) was spectacular. We found the desk clerk/housekeeper/all-around-indispensable employee we met there to be super friendly and ready to help. Thanks for the tea bags for we two non-coffee drinkers! Many places we visited on this post-pandemic trip out west have been short-staffed, so please try to be understanding. Also, plan ahead, everything is FAR away. We arrived short on gas with no breakfast items for the next day, and the only nearby convenience store closed at 7 pm.”

“Quintessential badlands motel. Air conditioning worked great, but bathrooms could use lots of updates. Beds were soft and comfortable. Staff members were gracious, welcoming and nice. Out our window we could see the badlands park, and very close to other attractions. Overall great place to sleep, but wouldn’t spend my entire days here.”

“I was apprehensive to stay here after some of the recent reviews. However, my family of five was pleasantly surprised. Is it luxury- no, it is not. But the room was clean and comfortable and the location cannot be beat. We were able to be in the park for sunset and sunrise, which made the rather steep price worth it. Check in was at the Lodge, 1 mile away and the manager was the one who took care of us, who was excellent. He even gave us his card with a number to call if there were any issues. We were able to have a rollaway bed in our room which made the night much more comfortable than squeezing three kids in one queen bed.”
