An older hotel with rustic charm. Not the fanciest, but a cozy place to spend a peaceful night. Lovely staff, easily accessible, and a short drive from the Corn Palace.

We stayed here as a quick stopover on our way back from the trip, and it was a great choice. The hotel is conveniently located in the center of town with plenty of restaurants nearby. It was newly renovated and rooms were clean and beautiful. It’s also very close to the Corn Palace, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay. Breakfast was free and good!

If you need to be impressed with a new motel, modern and new furnishings, and pay the price for it, then this is not the motel for you. If you are looking for an inexpensive and clean motel to simply lay your head down while on the move traveling, then this place is it! It had everything we needed with cleanliness and clean linens being our priority. $83 which included the tax and breakfast!
