Nice place, great price!
A nice place on the main street with good access to everything from food (Maria's next door is superb!) to highways. The price was wonderful for such a great property in the center of the Black Hills.

Really enjoyed staying here, everyone was so nice (guests and staff!) and location was great. The bed was comfortable but I do wish it had a comforter or something to make it a bit cozier.

Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. Everything in the room worked great. Only complaint was that the room smelt like body odor, and toiletries hadn’t been replaced.

Clean cozy room, tiny bathroom, so small that the sink was outside. Easy to find and next to several restaurants. Plenty of parking, can park right in front of room door. Decent breakfast but the selection was very limited in terms of selection. Friendly staff.

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!
