GREAT place & breakfast!!!
We stayed two nights to go to Rushmore, etc. Got this motel because of good reviews. SO GLAD I did! Breakfasts were the BEST ever!! The sweet little lady (we assumed she plans the food)was awesome! Bed was soft, room was clean. Parked rt in front of the door. If we ever return will stay here for sure & will recommend u too. Also the Captains was nice too.

I made a mistake when booking reservations and only booked one night when I needed two. It was a busy holiday weekend, but the staff was great about juggling some availability and we were able to stay in the same room another night. I appreciate them working hard to help us have a wonderful vacation.

We were very pleased with our stay at Buffalo Ridge Inn. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The location was excellent as we were able to visit both the Crazy Horse Memorial and Mt. Rushmore, our two destinations! And the staff were outstanding and helpful in making our stay very enjoyable!
