Budget Host Sundowner Motor Inn

Coming from the east this hotel gave us a nice springboard for an early morning tour of Badlands National Park. Check in (and out) went smoothly. Accommodations were good. Price was fair. Obviously, the Motel had seen better days... but the bed was really comfortable, and the shower was hot. We ate across the street at a nice cafe and even stopped there to eat again on our way back through. Regarding the motel... it's nothing fancy... but I'd stay again for the value and convenience.

Great for traveling with a pet. Everything we needed (refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, vanity, working Plumbing etc.) and a kind and helpful staff. Inexpensive and easy gas & freeway access.

Badly in need of renovation. Had to go to different hotel to check in and out. Had reserved a first floor room due to disability and upon arrival was told none were available because they hadn't been cleaned from day before.

I am extremely thankful to stay at this motel. Sitting outside at tables is an extra bonus...just bring bug spray for flies 😉😉

We stayed at this motel in September 2024. We are in our 60’s and love to travel. We have driven all 50 states and some of Canada and we have never had a motel complain about us or keep our deposit before so I have never been worried about the extra deposit that some motels charge. When we checked in this motel they told us that there would be a refundable deposit of $50 and I was ok with that. Well, through the rest of our road trip I noticed that they had charged us twice, once for the room and also $52.10 for the deposit. When we got home I called and asked why and they accused us of staining a bedspread so badly that laundry could not get it out. I am disputing the extra charge because we did no such thing. This seems to me a very dishonest way for this motel to make extra money. I don
