I guess I expected more after all the TA reviews but I wasn't impressed. Yeah, it was clean & had a good location but it wasn't any cheaper than a chain hotel would have been. There is NO pool, the hot tub was still closed, NO breakfast, and our room was TINY. The heater was so loud you couldn't talk... More

We loved the lodge. Our rooms were very clean, and we had a great view. We used the grills several times, and were able to eat out on the deck. Only bad thing is there's no pool. We would definitely stay here again; as soon as they put in a pool.

We chose this motel because of the price, $42 for a queen bed. It is an older motel, but the rooms are remodeled and very nicely done. It was very clean, the tv was much smaller than you find in a motel (but's that ok), and the one side has a beautiful view of the hills and the lights of... More

We will definately stay here again! We are looking forward to our next trip to the Black Hills.... Our trip was greatly improved by our great night sleep! We were close to great places to eat and the owners were wonderful!!

So, this is a decent motel. Although on my stay, I think my expectations were not properly calibrated for this place. It is a cheap motel. It is clean and does not smell bad. Thy hot tub was the same model your aunt and uncle have on their deck. The TV screen is smaller than the tubes and components behind... More

Located right above Rapid City in the hills, about a 10 minute drive away from downtown. Super cheap relative to the rest of the lodging in RC, and that was the initial draw for us. Room was very clean, with updated everything in the bathroom, newer heat/ac unit, fridge/microwave and a small tv. Bed was really comfortable, had some trouble... More

Clean room, great view over Rapid City, and close to a Ruby Tuesday ;-) An hours drive from Badlands National Park and close to Mt Rushmore as well. When we arrived we learned they only had us booked for one night instead of two, but they fixed that. Breakfast was ok as well.

After discovering BIG SKY LODGE on TripAdvisor, i checked in only to find reviews SPOT ON! BIG SKY is a bit off the way, but, the directions on motel website are very accurate. The owners are welcoming, room is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, and rates CHEAP. Avoid corprate room, STAY HERE!

Location is ok and price is friendly but the best of all is an amazing panoramic view at night and in the early morning especially when the sun is rising!! It was spectacular! And this lodge is on the way to mount Rushmoor and other great activities, I just loved it! And the staff person or the owner were very... More
