This place!! Just wow! I don't even know where to start on putting word to the feels!!…read more I rolled in town late one night driving from Salt Lake City back home to Mpls to scrub the bugs off my windshield and just couldn't drive any longer. I pulled up all the apps I use to find hotels last minute when I travel and cross reference on here to see which ones look the least sketchy (I'm a deaf, single momma traveling alone- feeling safe AND getting a good price is my decision maker!). This one was the only one with 5 stars and thanks to breezing thru the photos on here, I saw that it was definitely affordable. I walked into the office area to see if they had any availability. My first thought when looking around was wondering what I was getting into. It was like I stepped back in time to the 80's. There was photos in plastic sleeves of all the rooms hanging on a column and silk flowers and thing around that reminded me being at friends grandma's house in the cities back then. Out pops this guy that instantly reminded me of Magnum Pi, asking how he could help me. Telling him I was just passing thru and wondering if he had any rooms left for the night, he kindly said they did have a room left and went into details of what all is included and walked over to point to a photo of the room that was available. And asked if I prefer a ground level or 2nd floor room. (Ground level please- I traveled with more stuff to carry in than I'd like) After handing him my card and getting the key, he offered to move a vehicle so I could park close to my room and let go over where the breakfast room and pool was again. And mentioned the room I'm in is his mom's favorite. (Somewhere in our convo, he mentioned it's a family owned Inn when I asked if he was the owner.) There are two separate buildings. My room was in the one that is set up like a motel (outside entrance to get in). I walked into my room and the nostalgia hit me. Even though it was throwback of 80's decor, it felt impeccably clean, perfectly cooled temperature and no wonky or over powering air freshener smells that I often encounter in small town old hotel rooms. I used to have a detailed cleaning business, combined with my hearing loss- I notice A LOT of things when walking into a hotel room. I have been at way more expensive and posh hotels on this trip- and I can't say- this one has all of them beat by a far shot for cleanliness! Despite my blurry, heavy eyelids late into the evening, I had notice how even the outside grounds felt so clean between the office and my room and was curious if it was going to still have that feel in the daylight or if it was going to be a head smack of what sketchy place did I get myself into from being to tired to think. The grounds are freaking impeccably clean too! In all my years of travel, I honestly can not think of a hotel, motel, resort that felt this clean on the sidewalks and parking lot! Not a single cigarette butt, bit of garbage or even any dead leaves were spotted! The bed is a bit firm. The pillows a bit flat (but hey, I always travel with my own pillow anyway). Not much for toiletries offered. Great mini fridge with a separate freezer compartment (very rare!) But I felt safe and slept better than I have in days. More out of curiosity than need, I checked out the Continental breakfast. The breakfast room smelled a bit wonky and the offerings were a variety of pastries and bagels along with coffee and apple juice. I grabbed some coffee and walked the grounds and checked out the pool. Again- amazed at how impeccably clean the grounds were and noticed it is set up for being kid friendly too. They have a play ground and the indoor pool is perfect temperature and relaxing vibe in there. I couldn't resist dipping my toes in the pool- I think it's heated- it wasn't freezing cold like most pools and also want over powering smell of chlorine either (I generally avails pools for this reason- I have sensitive lungs). As I'm sitting outside my room on one of the patio tables writing this review...I don't want to leave. I'm definitely putting this Inn on my list of being a stop when I travel for my annual business trip that usually takes me on this route. I'd also like to bring the kids to give them a taste of what things were like when I was a kid and see if they even have a clue as to how to use the throwback phone in the room! Millennials, this place would probably be a loss on you but any older generations would appreciate all the feels this place gives.

We stayed here while visiting the Badlands, and while the hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and…read moreexactly what our family needed, I need to talk about David, who worked the continental breakfast area. David is not a breakfast attendant. David is a hospitality wizard who has somehow chosen to use his powers in Wall, South Dakota. He is a force of nature. A once-in-a-generation talent. A man whose mastery of hospitality borders on the supernatural. Every morning he greeted guests with a smile, kept everything stocked, cleaned, organized, and running smoothly, all while making people feel genuinely welcome. My family looked forward to seeing him each morning. I've stayed in hotels all over the country, and I can confidently say that David may be the single greatest continental breakfast attendant in the history of lodging. If there were a Breakfast Hall of Fame, he would be a first-ballot inductee. If there were a Mount Rushmore of hospitality workers, they would need to carve a fifth face. At one point I watched him refill the pancake station with such efficiency and grace that I briefly wondered if I was witnessing an advanced civilization disguised as a hotel employee. Scientists should study his ability to keep coffee flowing, raspberry-filled donuts available, and traveler morale at peak levels. Economists should measure the positive impact he has on the local tourism industry. Historians will someday ask how a continental breakfast at a roadside hotel became legendary. The answer will be simple: David. In all seriousness, David was incredibly friendly, hardworking, and professional. He made a great hotel stay even better. Give him a raise. Five stars for the hotel. Six stars for David. P.S. - If I ever return to Wall, South Dakota, it will be partly to see the Badlands again, but mostly to verify that David is, in fact, a real person and not a hospitality legend passed down through generations of travelers.

Thus, they like it hot! i checked in near midnight a few nights ago for a quick nap before proceeding on my journey. I opened the door and was hit with a blast hot heat. The room was hotter than a sauna. Within just a few seconds, I had sweat rolling down my face and this is NOT an exaggeration. I immediately turned on the AC and turned it down to its lowest setting (62 F). 2 hours later and it was just getting tolerable. To say the least, sheets and blankets were not needed. I slept on top of the sheets. In the morning, I hopped into the shower. i am only 5'6" and the shower head was so low that the water was hitting my chin. i had to duck to wash my hair. So there you have it. A hotel for umpa lumpas....or short people who like a sweltering hot room. Will I stay here again? No way! I will stop in Rapid City or Sioux Falls.....

Rooms are very spacious, contain microwave, mini fridge, coffee/teas. Toilet & tub in separate room from vanity which is always much nicer for getting ready. Ample parking by your unit. It's a 2-story building so not many units. There is an outdoor seating area with heaters near the back by the Chuck Wagons that you can rent as rooms. It's literally at the end of the street from Wall Drug & the shopping/restaurants so we walked every night.

The Hansen Inn & Cabins is probably the nicest motel to stay at in Wall and with the price being…read morecompetitive with just about any other spot in town, why wouldn't you stay here? We were planning a family road trip to Yellowstone this summer and decided to make a stop in Wall on the way up so we could explore the badlands for a day. After doing some research on the town of Wall I learned a few things about places to stay: 1. all of the available lodging are motels, and 2. nearly all of them look as if they've seen better days. After reading through reviews and flipping through images online I found my way to Yelp and discovered the Hansen Inn. The photos honestly looked almost too good to be true, but the reviews backed them up, and I loved that we would be supporting a local business while in town, so with the price being about the same as the Best Western, I went ahead and booked us a room. When we arrived it was easy to check in, and I really liked that they have door codes for each individual door that is customized to your stay. It's conveniently located across the street from Wall Drug, which is the biggest attraction in town, and if you're staying here you really should explore it as it's a pretty unique spot. Once inside your room, you'll find a comfortable and clean space with an air conditioner, modern bathroom, TV, microwave, and fridge. There is an ice machine within the building, and we loved that they also provided some complimentary water bottles. The bed was decent - it was honestly the lowlight of the stay, but it was comfortable enough, and overall if I was staying in Wall I'd without a doubt book this place again. For me, I think it's a bit more of a 4.5/5 rather than a full five just because of the bed, but given that it's in a small town with limited options, I do think this is probably the best motel in town, and that gives it the extra .5 star in my book. Some of our family stayed in other places because they had pools and this one doesn't, but to be honest if you drive through Wall you'll see that the outdoor pools at nearby motels are really not much to write home about, and I had no regrets about booking the nicer place for a more comfortable stay.
