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.

The employees were great The bedsheets were clean. When we arrived at the motel, we noted that the toilet had not been properly cleaned, so I bought wipes and wiped it down. The sink was clogged, so I bought Drano. We did tell staff about it, but never sure if they checked. There was also black mold in the bathtub, in the area of a ledge that had not been cleaned.
