Super 8's customer service was BEYOND awesome!
Reviewed By MoniquehaugThis was a nice hotel, next door to the Mammoth Site. The customer service was just wonderful, the room was cozy, the sheets were super soft, and the continental breakfast (especially the waffles) was super scrumptious.

Horrible odor
Reviewed By NeoAxionI am surprised at all the positive reviews because the moment I stepped into my room, I was hit by a foul odor that made me want to leave right away. I was only in the motel for a quick layover so I just dealt with it. Nevertheless, the cleanliness of the motel was by far the worst I experienced during my road trip.

Clean and Comfy
Reviewed By catemIt was clean, quiet and comfortable - fine for our one night stay. Because of COVID-19, we were given our breakfast in a bag when we checked in so we could eat in our room the next morning. (It consisted of some fruit, a couple of muffins and some juice. ) This is a family-run business and we are always happy to support independent businesses! The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful.

Never Again!!
Reviewed By SashaM332020I've really thought long and hard about posting anything but I don't want anyone else to waste their money and experience what I had too having our wedding at the Red Rock River Resort. So sorry in advance for the long post and I really wish i would have taken more pictures for proof. Family and friends, if you had a room, please check your account to make sure you were not overcharged as my sister was and they wouldn't even talk to her about. Her room, as well as all the others, should have only been $135. They put their hand up in front of her face and said that they weren't even going to discuss it with her. They made the comment that they were "going to go through the rooms thoroughly and charge everyone for ever little damage" as there was another incident with a seperate room. They were writing down all of credit card information and names on a piece of paper that just sat on the front desk!! (Which hello... that's illegal) When setting up for the reception we had a limited amount of time to set up between 3pm and 9pm the day before. This should have been plenty of time, however, when arriving we had to move and set up all the chairs and tables ourselves. The floors were ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! My daughters feet were BLACK after being there in the first minute! The same thing happened to all of us if we took one step without our shoes but this photo is one that my family member took. We also had to scrub the tables and chairs because they were filthy! We used 4 tubs of soap and water and the water absolutely black. There was still food on some tables! We also found a MOLDY PORK CHOP on the floor in the corner while cleaning! It was so hot!!! We had guests leave because who wants to sit indoors in the heat. The morning of the wedding i wanted to take a bath in our jacuzzi tub. It took an hour to fill up (which is whatever). Once i got in and turned the jets on, it looked like i was sitting in a rootbeer float because there brown bubbles coming out.? The night of the wedding they decided to shut the bar down early even though it was contracted till 2AM. Granted my husband was upset at them and tried to confront them on the filth, but the owner started yelling and grabbed the register and left. The next morning when cleaning up i noticed that I had a Yeti cooler missing and had no idea where it went. When my Dad tried to find it for me they said it was in a room that they locked the night before after a guest already paid for it. They were extremely rude and said that whoevers room it was had to get it, but they couldnt give it back until they paid for damages in the room. I stated that i just wanted my cooler back and idk how it ended up in there. But after telling me that the individual was the only who could get it, they told my Dad if we paid $100 he could have it back. Everything was about money. We couldnt use their kitchen or fridge (besides for the cake) unless we paid $250. Originally the venue came with table cloths but then they wanted $20 a table cloth so i bought my own! After guests rented out all 14 rooms they still tried to make us responsible for the rooms. I had to pay $310 too have our bridal suite for 2 nights just so i could get ready in there the day of! When cleaning up our suite for check out, we looked under the bed to make sure nothing got lost. Low and behold we found socks, a pack of briefs, the owners mail, and an ungodly amout of dust bunnies and more filth! Dont get me wrong, my family is a rowdy bunch!! But to call us a bunch of animals is not professional. To sit there and yell and curse and not discuss anything like adults is UNPROFESSIONAL!! The building itself is such a beautiful establishment and has so much potential. Truly sad to see people run it down and run it how they do. We paid over 2k for a place that we had clean and to be treated like crap!

Owners are great people
Reviewed By Carol_OHara50The last minute reservation had me a bit concerned as there wasn’t anything else available. But the rooms are clean and the owners are great people. It’s a bit dated, but I would recommend this hotel to travelers. Only suggestion would be to get newer towels and pillows.

Nice cozy place to stay while exploring the area
Reviewed By Skeets37I stayed here for a couple days in mid May while exploring the southern Black Hills area. I stayed in the "Cozy Cabin" which was perfect for me as a single traveler. Cabin is small but I enjoyed it as I wasn't spending much time just hanging in the cabin. The grounds were well maintained and a creek runs right thru the property which was a nice place too sit after a long day. The host was very welcoming and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when back in the area.
