In 15 years of using booking.com I have only reviewed two motels. One in Brighton, CO that was a dump and one in North Platte, NE. That was older but was spotless. Here is my 3rd review: Mountain View lodge & cabins Hill City SD. Is owned and operated by one of the nicest most generous young couple I have ever met. The day of our arrival we received a call from them as an introduction of themselves and their lodge. We stayed two nights and we had zero wants. The family room #7 was spotless and nothing over looked. But that was just part of our stay, from the complementary drinks at check-in to the fresh bagels and coffee in the morning there was nothing more we could’ve asked for. Book your stay early because the super place will fill up fast.

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.

The location was excellent for our needs. The room was sparkling clean and comfortable.

The advertising implies that a lodge room will have a private patio or balcony with great views. In fact the "balcony" is just the access walkway in front of all the second floor rooms which all the guests use to go to and from their rooms. The view from the "balcony" is the parking lot below, and a four-lane highway lined with commercial businesses.

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.

I loved the quiet location which was surprising considering it is immediately off the highway. The room and building is beautiful. Beds are comfortable. Location is close to shops and restaurants.

Breakfast is advertised but it isnt more than just bagels, donuts, pastries, coffee and tea. I would have liked more good options and tables to sit at - but eating in the room works well too.

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

This is a family owned motel and they were wonderful. Always making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The room was very cute and clean and the beds were so comfortable. The location is so close to everything we wanted to do so our driving was short. We stayed for 4 nights and we have no complaints at all. Thank you for our wonderful stay.

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!
