This property and hotel are OLD ! ! !
OLD AS DIRT... OLD AS THE HILLS !! !
These rooms are not worth the amount charged for them.
Look around for better properties at the same price !
Man at front desk was helpful and friendly. My granddaughter enjoyed the swimming pool. It was deeper than some. I enjoyed the hot tub, although the jets were not functional.
I am very disappointed in this motel. On the day we arrived for check-in, there were several folks already waiting. One of them shared that the man who runs the property was nowhere to be found. One of them decided to call the police and have them do a welfare check. At this point we left for a quick bite and returned about an hour later. Still no update on the whereabouts of the man who runs the motel so we still couldn’t check in. By that time we needed to head out for an evening tour in Custer State Park. Rather than take our chances and drive 20 minutes back to the Chief Motel after our tour to find out if someone was there now to check us in, we decided to just find another place close by.
We never did find out what happened to the guy from the Chief Motel. I do hope he is ok, but there is no excuse for there being no staff to check us in at the property.
This place was definitely awesome for the price we paid! Friendly staff as well, they were great! Huge pool and a hot tub in a separate building was very welcoming as well!
This was great little motel! Older, but clearly well maintained and well loved. Great pool for a quick dip on a hot day on our cross country journey. Close by ice cream and a good breakfast joint the next morning. Would for sure stay again.
