San Way Ve Motel

Great place to stay. Not the Hilton, but you are in NW ND so man up. Rooms are simple, CLEAN, cable works, WiFi works, plenty of hot water. The owner and assistant are so nice.

Walking around Kenmare the last time I had been there, I noticed this motel - it is not on Hwy 52, so you wouldn't see it just driving through. Looks like a classic Mom & Pop place, showing it's age a bit but still looking cared-for. Determined to stay there next time through. I was very impressed by the room. Painstakingly updated with pine paneling, very new (and spotless) bathroom fixtures and flooring, tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable as could be, and I loved the fact that I could open the window to let pleasant outside air in. A most pleasant stay at a price well below that at the more conventional, newer hotel along the highway.

Great price, clean rooms super friendly staff awesome location can’t wait to come back. Thank you guys had a great time.

A week ago we spent two nights at the San Way Ve. As others have noted, Sandy is refreshingly honest and personable. Our stay was brief but we definitely appreciated the cleanliness of our room as well as the reasonable cost. Finally, she makes a darned good pot of coffee available in the office. Something to be said for small town hospitality. Gotta love it! Thanks again, Jim.

If you’re needing a place to stay with great small-town hospitality, look no further than the San Way Ve! The owner, Sandy, is the sweetest lady who does everything to ensure your stay is comfortable. I enjoyed my stay!
