We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mountain View Motel! Nestled just outside Hill City off Hwy 16, it’s a quick 5-7 minute drive into town, making it incredibly convenient for exploring all the attractions in the area. We stayed in Room 4—small, quaint, and perfect for taking a mid-day break before meeting back up with the kids. But here’s what you really need to know: **CLEAN! BEAUTIFUL! IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED!** The deck is fully prepared with grills, tables and shade to prepare your own meals. And the Dairy Stand across the street made for the perfect quick treat. Melissa and her husband are on-site, and their warmth and hospitality truly make this place special. The rustic decor adds to the charm, the bed and bedding were incredibly comfortable, and the air conditioning? **Absolutely top-notch!** We actually slept *great*—something rare for us when traveling. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-kept place with a personal touch, **Mountain View is the one to book.** You won’t regret it! This is an authentic review. Nothing has been received from the host.

Breakfast was coffee and donuts, "grab and go", from 7.30 . The decor in the room was fresh and very tasteful and rustic, fitting in with the setting in the countryside. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding was soft and pretty. The towels were soft and thick. Loved the communal BBQs on the balcony, plus the mini firepit and pizza oven. Fridge was fairly new. Coffee maker worked well and coffee pods were of good quality. There was a microwave.

Swimming pool was much smaller than photos suggested. A dipping pool, really. Lodges fight beside a very busy, noisy road, though it quietened down at night and we had no trouble sleeping. All lodges face the road,. One end of the building looks over the wee swimming pool towards the road and a fast food restaurant beyond..The other end looks over the carpark, to the road and the hill beyond.

If you are looking for a great location without the crowd, this is definitely it. Everything you want to see is close, just a short drive. There is not the crowds of tourists here. Nice Dairy Whip place across the road. The room was very clean. The beds were super comfortable. The door shuts air tight, blocking out noise from anyone enjoying the deck. The owner seems to work very hard at maintenance of the property. I saw him and his work truck doing things a lot. Be advised that there is no daily housekeeping. There is no ice machine, but there is an ice bucket. You can purchase ice in the lobby or down the street at the convenience store. Like I said, the location, cleanliness and beds are awesome.

Just that the floor of the shower is slick, could use a rubber mat for people who have a fear of falling in the shower.

The inside decor was very nice for the size, with live-edge shelving and furniture. The pillow top bed was really comfortable for both of us (sleep number bed at home), and the pillows were so nice, we ordered 3 before even leaving (Bellagio at Home). Location was central to our sightseeing and worked out really well for us. The mini-fridge also has an actual freezer which came in handy also. We were able to check in early.

Nothing

Cozy, quaint, well cared for & the owners are terrific! Close to the Badlands, Blackhills, Custer State Parks & Mount Rushmore which afforded lots & lots of beautiful views & wildlife! It was perfect for our needs traveling w/a family and they made sure we our rooms were all together, unlike most hotels! Casual, friendly & inviting; small but mighty! ;)

It was all good!

No breakfast though advertised. We were told coffee and doughnuts were served in season. We did not realize season was a factor. Obviously we had never been to SD! Also no closet in the room was new to us.

Since answered this above, I will answer the above question now. The proprietors were kind and helpful. The view and ambience made us feel in the rustic, mountain spirit. We loved have the electric fireplace!

Mountain view lodge was amazing! Beds were so soft and comfortable and check in was so easy! There was a small sitting area on the too deck that we used each night and was amazing! They had a little breakfast for us each morning and were very friendly!

It is very close to the highway so it was pretty noisy but not much could be done about that.

I didn't eat the breakfast because I am gluten free, but a continental breakfast is provided. The rooms were clean and spacious. The view was beautiful, and the location is great for getting around in the Black Hills. The owner and his family are on site and very attentive to your needs.

need kleenex in the room

This was a great facility. The family that owns this property is great and very accommodating. Very down to earth and just good people. The world needs more people like them. The property was very clean and the pride of ownership is very evident.

The size of the bathroom and shower. Having a kitchenette, something had to give and the bathroom/shower was it. Very difficult to even move in the shower. Otherwise, there isn’t anything else that I could, or would even want to complain about. The other room had a full tub/shower and two queen beds so it has to be due to the kitchenette. If you don’t need two sinks, book the two queen room and you will be very happy here.

Rooms were big and comfortable Owners are super friendly Great view Dairy Twist across the road was delicious About an hour or less from many of the tourist attractions in the Black Hills

Breakfast was only coffee and donuts... Not bad Strange conversation with a guest about Bigfoot, Reptilians, the Ice Wall... that's what I get for drinking at midnight
