Our first time driving trip to the Badlands-Black Hills area--we booked this hotel over the phpne-site unseen-just from pics on internet---we gambled & lucked in!!!---very friendly owner-very reasonable rates --location is excellent in old downtown Rapid City--right across form police station--rooms are fine-yes the non-smoking room did smell of smoke --I think becasue the walls are a bit thin &... more

This motel was very clean. The owner was very personable. It was in a quiet area of downtown. The pool is small, parking is a little tight but manageable. There is close, easy to access, on street parking if needed. We came to the area to see the sights and be gone all day, not to hang around the motel... more

This property is rather old, and our non smoking room had a pervasive smoky smell and the room didn't lock well. But that said it was significantly cheaper than anything else we could find and it didn't make promises that it didn't keep. One thing I would add is that they say it is "15 minutes to Mt Rushmore." It... more

Pros: * Cheap * The owner, who often works at the desk, is very friendly and helpful * Good location downtown * Fridge and microwave in room Cons: * Seems a little "seedy" * Lumpy mattress * Stray hairs were found in the bath * Strangers (drunk college students?) were knocking on doors randomly and making prank calls room-to-room *... more

My family and I spent five nights at the Town House Motel in July, 2005. We all had a wonderful experience. It was conveniently located in quiet, downtown Rapid City and very reasonably priced. After a full day of sightseeing, we took a refreshing evening swim in their outdoor pool. The rooms were clean, well maintained and the staff was... more

I have stayed at this motel 9 out of the 11 times I've been to the black hills. The two times I didn't, I seriously regretted it. I head up to the black hills area every year for the rally. This motel is like going home. The location is great, and the staff is even better. They will bend over... more

The room was clean and the bathroom sparkling. The pool was warm and well maintained. Front desk person was super friendly and helpful. A microwave and a refrigerator were included in the room. I could only find two things that were even slightly negative. The parking lot is a little tight to navigate but totally doable and it would be... more

Very comfortable and clean small motel, reasonable cost. The Town House is conveniently located in downtown Rapid City and you can easily walk to a number of good restaurants and neat little shops. Be sure to check out the life size statues of US presidents located on many corners in the downtown. The staff at the Town House is very... more

This is an older, slightly worn hotel with smaller than average rooms, clean. Great shower. Staff bends over backward to be accomodating. It's a bit off the beaten path but much more affordable than the resort area. Would stay here again. Great value for the price. While you're there, don't miss the life sized statues of the presidents just a... more
