Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I had driven nearly a 1000 miles and the first hotel I tried wanted nearly $200 a night. So I moved on and saw Salem had a motel and I stopped there. My first room the AC and TV didn't work. I went to the office and and explained the issues and the owner actually upgraded me to a bigger room! Great beds and pillows are comfortable, and the customer service is off the charts! I would stay here anytime because I feel like I was actually cared for and not just for my money. Definitely if you are headed west bypass Souix Falls and drive the extra 30 minutes and stay here.”
“A genuine South Dakota warmth with everything just a few blocks walking distance. Small stores, gas stations etc. There is also a Green Dinosaur and an honestly gorgeous Catholic Church always open. Great area for privacy with small town feel”
