I’m sorry we were not able to accommodate you, but our motel does not and has not ever accepted cats. It is clearly stated in the pet policy that we are dogs only. We have an employee with a serious allergy and we won’t put her at jeopardy. We refunded you in full, apologized, and explained to you why we couldn’t keep the reservation. I’m not sure why you were even able to leave the review since you never even entered a room. Hopefully you found a place that could help you out.

Older family owned motel
The check in was great. It is a family owned business, and the owner is very friendly. It is an older motel, and the room was clean. Some areas that need attention is the pillows were extremely flat, not much to them. The door did not have an inside bolt. Which would have been nice since the door automatically locked. No lock mechanism on the interior handle, so you had to trust that the door was actually locked. There was a coffee maker in the room, but no cups for coffee. T.V. channels were basically non-existent, so not much to watch. Bathroom sink was not attached, so if you leaned against it, it would move. Bar across the street was recommended for supper. That is okay if you like frozen pizza for $14.00. It is an older motel and the price was right. Just be aware that it is nothing fancy, but the family who owns it are very nice and they are located in an extremely small town with hardly any amenities.

Thanks for giving us a chance. We appreciate the review, but wish you would have come to talk to us about the issues. We absolutely have coffee cups. If we missed replacing them, that’s an easy fix. The locks are a work in progress, we apologize that the deadbolt isn’t in place yet. We are replacing all of our locks and had to order more. The specialized locks take some time to come in. We also had no idea that the sink wasn’t attached. If nobody tells us that, it is hard to fix. The bar across the street was recommended because that is our option in this very small town. They have a pretty good menu for the size and serve a lot more than pizza. We have never claimed to be fancy, and tell everyone about our very basic amenities. We aim for clean, safe, and friendly. We work hard to keep our older motel in the best shape we can. Safe travels and enjoy your trip.

Such a nice little place right off the highway. Stayed in Room 4, freshly updated. Clean and spacious for a little motel! Beds were nicely made, bathroom was clean. If I wasn’t 26 hours away I’d definitely stay here again! Pet friendly and has the old school neon motel lights. How awesome!

The people that rated this property as excellent do a disservice to people who trust these ratings. This property is old and outdated. Small tv no cable, only four local channels and pbs channels. No ice, or basic amenities. No security lock, very limited outlets and almost nothing nearby. I tried to find even one thing to warrant an excellent rating and could not. What did they see that would explain it.
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023
Response from King’s Inn on 3 Sept 2023
Hello sir,If you would have taken the time to read the reviews, you would have seen that it is a very small town with very limited extras. Our excellent rating comes from the cleanliness, the friendliness, and the safe and quiet environment. We have the basics amenities, but nothing extra. Most all of the reviews say if you are looking for a 5 star hotel with all the bells and whistles, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for friendly, safe, and quiet with a small town atmosphere and a clean room, we meet that bill. We hope the rest of your trip meets your expectations.

Great choice for a reasonably priced overnight stay on I-90 in South Dakota. Pleasant room, everything very clean, comfortable, and functional (not always the case in motels). Staff friendly and helpful. The town is very small so plan on eating in other nearby towns.

Thank you for the review and kind words. Yes this is a very small town but there are a few food options here in town. There's Benji's Diner which is open for breakfast and lunch and the Prairie Dust bar which is right across the road from the motel. Also a grocery store called BJ's which is just a couple blocks from us. Thank you for staying with us!

Thank you for choosing King's Inn! We have chairs out front of the north side motel, but the south side building sits the wrong direction to be able to do that. With the wind and the sun, we can't get them to stay put! We're working on different options. Safe travels and we are glad the rest of your stay was great.

Staff were very kind and professional. We got in late and they were gracious and welcoming, even upgraded us to a room with a little more space because we had a dog with us. Room was clean and tidy, nice hot water in the shower. Very conveniently located right off I-90 with a bar/restaurant across the street, breakfast diner nearby.
