Spent 4 fantastic nights in the Big Sky Lodge Rapid City South Dakota. Had Room 139, the 2 bedroom suite. Our hosts Jay and Alicia were great, nothing was ever a problem, giving advice on what to see and what to do. Special mention for "Indian" Debbie charming us with information about her Indian heritage and just generally being helpful.... more

This was our first stop in the summer on our way to Mount Rushmore, then across Wyoming to Yellowstone. Gotta say I wish the rest of the motels had been as nice as this one. Friendly owner checked us in, the room was clean and had more amenities than rooms twice the price. Easy access to Mount Rushmore, Custer State... more

Stayed at Big Sky for two nights while touring Mt. Rushmore and surrounding area. Rooms were dated, but very clean and decorated nice. Staff was friendly, making you feel like family. View from hot tub was truly beautiful - 100 miles over the valley. Easy directions. Would stay there again in a heart-beat. more

Let me first say that, overall, we were very happy with this motel, however we did have a few issues: We had reserved a king room, but arrived on an extremely windy day and the wind whistled into the room, so we requested a room on the other side of the building. (The king rooms are apparently on the side... more

We had a great stay at the Big Sky Lodge. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and Lucky. The room was comfortable. We were there during a cold snap (and snow) and they quickly provided an extra blanket upon request. We highly recommend this hotel. more

We selected this hotel based exclusively on TA reviews. Although we have greet faith in TA, the rates were so low we had great reservations. Nevertheless, we were arriving at mid-night and leaving the following morning. So how bad could it be? This property is basically a really old motor court where you back your car directly in front of... more

This hotel sits atop a bluff overlooking the city of Rapid City. I enjoyed the hotel with my 8 year old son. The outdoor jacuzzi was available but we didn't bring any swim suits. The hotel owners are very information, available and friendly as were every guest that stayed here. It is located right on Mt Rushmore Rd. which makes... more

Stayed for a couple of nights. The motel is just on the ouskirts of town high on a hill overlooking Rapid City. If you have a back room, it is a nice view. The outside is clean and inviting. The rooms are dated but very clean. The beds are not new and a little too hard for me. There is... more
