I highly recommend this cute little motel in a city of “82” people. Recently, renovated, clean, comfy, off the beaten path, with a classic ol’ time bar in town. (Fried bread tacos and pizza). Love surprises like this one! Check it out!

Nice quiet area. Easy to get to. Shower is extremely small and one bed isn't as comfy as the other. I would stay here again very good for price.

We unfortunately only stayed overnight and departed the next morning. The motel room was extremely clean, and all appliances and furnishings appeared to be nearly brand-new. Check in was very simple. Beds were great. I wish we would have stayed at least one more night, as it appears to be a great jumping-off point to do all sorts of activities in the area. Highly recommended!

We were on a 2 week road trip and this was the best sleep I got the whole trip, much better than any of the chain hotels we stopped at. The room was cozy and cute and very clean, and I loved that it had a little kitchen. I drank my morning coffee on the little back porch and it was so peaceful. They even had pots full of petunias on the back porch! I would absolutely recommend it if you are passing through the area. We had been at Badlands all day and it was perfect.

The Wagon Wheel was perfect for our overnight stop! Very clean, looked newly renovated and was very comfortable. Kitchenette was wonderful since there aren’t many food options. Very quiet and peaceful! Highly recommend.

The actual building was adequate, clean, easy parking, the person who phoned me to lmk our room number was very friendly, but the area is not very nice, would not stay there again, due to the location.
