They were very friendly, an immediate response. Even prepared for bad weather when weather disrupts plans. They're willing to get you checked in at the time of arrival. Very clean, love the style needed the rest and comfort during bad weather. A very high recommendation for any of those who travel within the area. I needed a peaceful undisturbed rest during my travels, they gave me excellent service. Highly recommended. Two thumbs up.
Stopped here on my trip from Bismarck to the Black Hills, and I'm glad I did. Its a very cute hotel in the middle of nowhere. The lady was very friendly who checked us in and the rooms were extremely clean and quiet. Definitely a good place to crash for the night!
A few years ago, while heading to the Harnys Peak trail, I stopped by this place with my dog, Molly. As it was getting late, the owner graciously allowed us to stay overnight. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. My late father also stayed here on my recommendation during his travels. As long as I’m in the region, I’ll continue to visit and support this wonderful establishment. P.S. Molly is now 15 years old. Though she’s slowing down, she still has a passion for camping and adventure.
Came here on a hunting trip . Room is good size for 1 man or husband wife. Staff is vary nice.
Best "mom & pop" motel I've ever stayed in. This motel is a gem. They consistently get new mattresses and bedding. The pillows were better than any big hotel chain. I was tempted to buy one of then from the owner. AC in room 7 can be left on at night and it doesnt shut off. Perfect for a fan sleeper such as myself. The shower left a little to be desired. Cheap plastic box with a pipe sticking out of the wall with a crappy shower head. But this is standard fare for hwy motels like this.
Absolutely the sweetest and nicest people you will ever meet! Super clean, more than fair rates, and top of the line service! Definitely a great place to stay!!!
Wow, what a great experience. Arrived late in the evening. We were greeted by the owner who was very friendly and accommodating. She shared fishing stories with us and talked about beautiful fish mounts on their office walls. The rooms were very clean, had all the necessities and comfortable bed with great smelling sheets. Also, had security cameras so we didn't have to worry about our boat and truck. Great service at small town tavern to get something to eat, which the hotel owner directed us to. We would definitely stay there again when passing through and would recommend you check it out if in Isabel, SD.
Wasn't sure what to expect here, but my travel partner and I were pleasantly surprised with how clean and cozy the rooms are. Everything worked just fine, and our beds were surprisingly soft. The bathroom was definitely tiny, with the sink outside the actual bathroom. It's tight quarters for sure, but a good clean place to sleep!
