The location of this property is awesome. It is very close to the Badlands National Park. However, the room had no heat, the sink would not drain and we had no hot water in the sink, and there was no restaurant or bar on site, as claimed on Expedia. There was a store where you could purchase wrapped food items and microwave them. They said that you could bring a microwave back to your room. When we checked out, they said we could have gotten a heater for the room. Who knew? I guess we should have asked. But the lack of a restaurant and bar was false advertising.

Badlands View Stay

A great little stay, older rooms but you can tell they put love into it. Our shower didn’t drain that well but I didn’t expect much considering the location/low price. The view outweighs any negative, and you’re not really in your room often in a place like this. Nice little store in the office area for food, supplies, souvenirs. Was given a map and some tips for exploring the local area, as well as being directed to the Wagon Wheel for late night food. I’d recommend this to anyone coming through the area.

Wonderful location

Fabulous place to stay. Rustic while clean and modern. Watched the sunrise over the badlands from the front porch. Where else can you do that?

We did arrive during the normal office hours for check-in but there was a note they had to leave early. They did leave our keys for us so we had no issues getting in our room. The room and bathroom were pretty small but well kept up. It's a nice area and very close to the Badlands which is the main reason we picked it. I can't comment on any staff since I didn't see any. We dropped our key in the drop box and headed out at dawn. I can't comment on the view either since the sun was down when we arrived and not up when we left.

The room had way too much air freshener in it. So much so I couldn't sleep in the room and didn't receive a refund.
