The room is not at all what the picture shows. We brought our suitcases in and I wouldn't even let them touch the ground. The sheets looked clean so we stayed. Luckily we stayed out until very late (we went to the evening star show) and left very early in the morning. So disappointed we pre-booked and couldn't get our... More

It is always a pleasure to stay at the Badlands Budget Host Inn in Interior. Although modest, the rooms are sparkling clean. A dip in the above ground pool cools one off on a hot day! Sitting outside you room in the evening or early morning gazing out at the badlands refreshes your spirit. Dinner is available at a nearby... More

In my review of the night sky program, I recommended staying nearby due to the fact that there something other-worldly about waking up in the Badlands. I love staying in lodges and cabins in National and State Parks; however the Cedar Pass lodge was all booked up when I made reservations and this was the suggested alternative. It was old-style...

Travelers don't get a lot of choice when they look for a place to stay near the Badlands Park. The Budget Host in Interior (hotel portion) works okay. The room we had was very clean and serviceable. There are absolutely NO extras: no TV, two small bars of soap only, small towels, small dim bathroom, etc. We were sent to... More

I made the mistake of booking one of the "cabins" on this property-- it was a plywood shack, no insulation whatsoever, with a hole cut out for a window and two sets of bunk beds. There was no space to move inside whatsoever. It is the first place I've ever actually gone back and demanded a refund-- we ended up... More

If you are staying a night or two in the Badlands I would reccomend this motel. It is very basic but was clean and the rooms were decent sized. The bathroom was clean and had plenty of hot water. The owners/workers are very friendly. We didn't have their breakfast this stay but I did several years ago and it was... More

Wow The Badlands are so other-worldly. I was happy to find the Budget Host to stay in, so we could hike the Saddle Pass trail early in the AM. This is the 2nd time I've stayed at this motel. No TV, but we did have WiFi. There is a pool but it closes too early - about 8:30 PM. Our... More

We stayed for one night on our trip out west. The owner, Larry, was there along with his parents. The NICEST people! The rooms are older but very clean. No tv. We had planned to go to the national park to see the star gazing presentation but a storm blew in. A fantastic lightening storm which was beautiful. The above... More

We just returned from a SD vacay last week. Great location, great people, great value here. Our family loved this charming motel. Our room was very clean and comfortable. A/C worked great, and with the temps in the 100's it was welcome. Our room was cooled off when we arrived -- nice touch. We own lodging properties and know a... More
