Nice Hotel

Staff were very friendly and the rooms weee spacious and clean. A quick overnight stay before going to the Black Hills. The Hotel is on the edge of town and it is very quiet even while along the highways will definitely stay here again in the future when visiting or passing through the area.

Our stay was fabulous. The hotel was clean; people were friendly and very helpful. I would like for the parking spaces to be numbered so you can park your vehicle next to your room. We will definitely stay there again.

Nice, clean, serves a breakfast on the go

The girl that checked us in was super friendly and professional. We had no idea what to do there as we were just passing through so she suggested some local spots including a Husker tailgate party at a church that was a hoot! This is one of the best motels we’ve stayed in - very clean, reasonable, they take pride in what they do, serve an on the go breakfast, comfortable beds and they obviously value guests. We’ll book it again if we are in Valentine!
