Just what we needed in Wall South Dakota. Very clean. Can park so close to room makes luggage hauling easy. All the staff went out of their way to make our stay a pleasure. Since 1949 they have been doing it right!

As I type this we are staying here and we are traveling from Florida to hit all the national parks that we can. During our travels we have stayed at many motels and this place is by far the best value we have found. We are right outside the Badlands and have 2 dogs, and the staff is so accommodating, and the rooms are super clean. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone traveling in this area!

Excellent hotel! We drove all the way from Minneapolis to Mount Rushmore, and I can confidently say this was the best hotel we stayed at along the way. Very clean, smells fresh, nicely renovated, and the staff is incredibly friendly. You can really tell it’s a family-run hotel and that they care about their guests. The location is also perfect if you’re visiting Badlands National Park — it’s literally only about a 10-minute drive away! Highly recommend!

Our tent got destroyed by a storm while camping at the Badlands. Tired, wet, and a little defeated, we rolled up to Welsh’s Motel, quarter to 10pm and was welcomed with open arms. Last minute availability was no problem for our large (6 person) family plus a dog. Clean rooms with great AC, hot showers, and space to park our trailer too. In the morning, we were greeted with free coffee and ice to fill our coolers. We are clean, rested, and dried out to finish our camping adventure strong. Many thanks to the friendly and wonderful people at Welsh’s.

Kelly (the owner) is AMAZING!!! We were traveling through a storm and just got bitten by ticks so the moral was low. Kelly offered us a beautiful room that’s stylized as cozy and cute. Kelly was friendly, professional, and hilarious. She checked the tick bites out (we’re good) and she gave us what was left of her hydrogen peroxide to clean the wounds. I can’t recommend this place enough! You won’t find a better place with this kind of service and hospitality.

I enjoy staying at "Mom & Pop" motels, and this one is a hidden gem of the Badlands. It's very clean, updated, and the owners go out of their way with all the coffee you may want. Outlets are easily accessible for your chargers. YOU CAN FILL YOUR COOLER FROM THEIR ICE MACHINE! It is reasonably priced and right off the Interstate. It's within walking distance of downtown and right at the beginning of the loop road through the Badlands.

Although Welsh's Motel has been around for nearly 70 years, the rooms here are very modern and clean. The bed is one of the comfiest I've slept in too! The motel offers a side lot for large vehicles and is in a prime location right off the interstate (and not too far from Wall Drug). I recommend anyone staying in Wall to go to Welsh's Motel!
