Wifi does not work

Reviewed By Linda G

We stayed here May 31 thru June 3, 2022. It's clean, the breakfast is good; toast (no butter or peanutbutter) cereal, milk, Bananas, yogurt, eggs muffins But they need butter and salt & pepper. I'm not giving a real good rating because the WiFi is so weak you cannot open ANY browsers. You certainly cannot work from there or research places to visit while on Rapid City. Also have only analog TV, which is OK. We weren't there to watch TV.

Clean and Quiet

Reviewed By ShilohNorthCarolina

We enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean. The staff was nice. They had a nice quick breakfast. The only problem we had was with the internet service. It was pretty bad and trying to make decisions about your vacation while staying here can be annoying. I did not hold this against the Inn as we learned that there is basically no service out in that area at all.

Price quote versus price billed

Reviewed By Oscar K

3 night Quoted: $153.99 Charged: $373.89 I asked twice when I was told the original quote, and was “assured” this was the total amount. I was told at checkout that I couldn’t get a receipt because it was direct billed to CLC. THEN, CHARGED WAY MORE THAN QUOTED! I would and could have stayed at Holiday Inn Express next door for the amount I was charged at motel 8. I simply don’t like being told one thing and delivered another!

Barking Dogs

Dog in room next door barked all morning. The room appeared clean - but did not check out the rest of the hotel amenities as the patrons in the lobby area when checking in appeared to be transients and I was not comfortable as I was traveling alone.

Older, but Great Location!

Reviewed By djlons681

Right on the Keystone "Strip." This is an older property and it shows. Coffee provided, but no breakfast and few breakfast options in town in late September. Would probably stay somewhere else next time and pay more for a "free" breakfast included. Bare-bones, low-priced, and great location. Three floors and no elevator. Board games available to borrow, which we did and enjoyed. Nice woman managing the property.

Town House Motel

We are a small motel in downtown Rapid City. We have clean rooms, low rates, heated pool. We try to make you feel at home when you're away from yours.

Great value!

Reviewed By Kates9999

This hotel is a good value for what it is. The walls are a bit thin, & there was some confusion with my airport shuttle, but the staff was super-friendly & the location is close to the bars & restaurants of the downtown entertainment district. The rooms all have external doors & my room was very cute.
