Great place to stay when visiting the Badlands
Perfect quiet location, close to Wall and the Badlands. The room was clean & updated and the kitchenette was perfect to refreeze cooler ice and keep all of cooler foods cold. We love the room and would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

Jayne, the host, was wonderful and attentive. The room was immaculately clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The kitchenette was perfect for our needs. There are very reasonably priced washers and dryers in the building across the street. Definitely recommend if you want a comfortable, clean, inexpensive place to stay near Badlands.

Quiet, updated, nice deck in back and seating in front. For a traveler for roughly the same price as the chains in Wall or rapid city, you get a lovely quiet place that’s a bit unique but still with all the necessities including a sweet kitchenette. Much preferable - lovely and quiet and very friendly hosts.

Pleasant surprise
The phone call I received prior to check-in was unexpected and I was thoroughly delighted! Friendly, secluded, charming are just a few ways to describe the Wagon Wheel! One of the best values around! Highly recommend!

I found this motel by researching the Internet. We wanted a unique experience rather than a chain hotel. We did not want to stay in Rapid City nor Wall.
Affordability was also a factor. This is a family owned and operated motel. The town is very quiet with minimal amenities, so keep that in mind. That was actually exactly what we were looking for! Jane was extremely helpful and made sure our stay was restful and pleasant. Please support more family owned motels like this one!!
