Just spent one night at Sunshine Inn. It's an older property, but is being kept up. When we arrived we noticed that they were painting some of the rooms and they were also planting flowers. I asked for a room with two beds and they happily complied. The room smelled nice (not musty like some older motels) and was nice... More

Three of us recently stayed here during our turkey hunt. The price was great. The beds were comfortable and the rooms and bathroom was clean. Cleaning service did a great job everyday and there was always plenty of towels and extra soap. The owner personally came over to introduce himself and ask if everything was good. I have never had...

Thanks for the nice remarks. We have a fair number of hunters during the Spring and Fall seasons, most of them returnees. We're delighted that you'll be joining that roster. After a long day in the field, hunters who stay here know they can walk just a block to any one of three restaurants and two lounges and come back... More

On a recent road trip, we crashed overnight in Wall. We needed a comfortable sleep for a very reasonable price, and this motel delivered. In early May it was quiet,and being down the street from Wall Drug was a pleasant plus. Their "breakfast" was coffee, orange juice and packaged rolls set up in the corner of the small office, but...

Thank you for stressing the "V" word ("Value"), which is really our most important product. We pride ourselves on providing high-value lodging and couldn't be happier that you took note and mentioned it here. We stress cleanliness, comfort and functionality. Add that to our great location just a block away from world-famous Wall Drug Store and all the rest of... More

I sure wish there were a way to give more than 5 stars to this hotel, and it's not just because of the great prices, comfort, and pet-friendly policy. We stayed in Wall on our way across South Dakota for a business trip. On our way back west, we got caught in a late spring snowstorm that turned into a... More

Thank you for your kind comments. As a seasonal property we rarely get into a snowstorm situation, but when we do, the Sunshine Inn makes every effort to provide a pleasant, warm shelter while the bad weather passes. We make it a policy to stay in touch with travelers that we know are having a difficult time of it on... More

I have visited this Inn twice with a good size group of motorcyclists. I was recommended to John (owner) by another biker friend that has visited and used several times before.

Thank you for the kind remarks. Helping motorcyclists with their unique requirements is part of the customer-specific policies we have here at the Sunshine Inn. We provide fresh rags for every bike, placed directly on the seat of each motorcycle early in the morning, make sure that bikes have boards available for their kickstands and have a hose off to...

This is a no frills hotel but I had the best sleep. Sunshine In is a block from the Wall Drug Store and 8 miles from Badlands NP. We will stay here again. John the owner is very friendly and was very helpful.

Thank you for the succinct summary of what we do best here: provide our customers with a great night's sleep. Our beds are the best in the business, and they're replaced on a regular, rotating schedule to ensure that the most important element of a stay here--a comfortable rest--is what our guests will get when they stay at the Sunshine...

Thank you so much for the kind remarks. I happily accept your generous compliments, but of course you know that this is a team effort, so my staff is equally pleased to read your comments.

We stayed for one evening while visiting The Badlands at the end of September. We were referred by the multiple TripAdvisor comments, and were not disappointed. Especially impressed by the cleanliness-bathroom, rug, bed linens; and the room was bright (unllike many chain hotels that are dark on the inside). Enjoyed a good night sleep on the comfortable bed.

Nothing too fancy, but clean and comfy for a very low price. (around $50) The owner was super nice and suggested a couple things to do in the area. A 2 block walk from Wall Drug. Would stay here again!
