And, the internet worked quite well -- better than one often finds in larger properties. The less than good: This is a property which has had few if any improvements or renovations since it was built -- decades ago. Aged, wrinkled carpet; electrical outlets so worn that plugs literally will fall out of them; really tiny bathroom-really; a through-the-wall HVAC unit sealed by duct tape; no desk; very old and "dated" furnishings. But, looking around, we guessed that the Sunshine Inn is about as good as one can do in Wall SD. Not sure, but that's the way it appeared. Score: 2.5

The office is cute coffee shop boutique vibe, they make fresh coffee in there every morning so you don't have to make it in your room. They also have a small popcorn machine that always has popcorn ready for guest. They do close the office early though. Check in & out was super easy. 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.

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.

She did set me up in a hotel and paid for it, but it is NOT comparable to the cabin that I paid for. Her comment was "it's a nice hotel" and "it it makes you feel better, it was more than you paid" - except in January, it was not more than I paid. Even last minute it was $12 LESS than I paid. Bottom line seems to be that she could make more money from the other group, so she bumped me along with at least 2 other reservations when really she should have told the other group that she could not accommodate their extra people.

When I first called she answered by her first name, not as Days Inn. I asked if I had the correct phone number and she said yes. I stated that I was charged for a cancelled reservation. She said "tell you what, call back in a half hour". Not a great start. When I called back she didn't take any information or look up anything before saying that if I was charged it was because of the policy. She said that there are no hotels that let you cancel under 48 hours, which is just untrue as most major chains, including Wyndham, allow for cancellations up the check in, particularly under their military member program. The Days Inn booking failed to disclose that cancellations made under 48 hours cannot be cancelled. The military member policy on the Wyndham app is free cancellation up to 24 hours. Wyndham customer service was a chat that disconnected followed by a series of unhelpful and incompetent call center employees. I will never again stay at a Wyndham property.

The shower was warm and water pressure was excellent but the shower head was about 5 feet from the floor and the shower curtain had a hard time keeping the water in the tub.

While we were told the pool was heated it was still chilly after a 90 degree day. The clerk in the office was very personable and helpful. The breakfast is a sandwich which can be cooked in the microwave from the room. The beds have 3 square shaped pillows and the mattresses were Uber comfortable. We reserved our room. 3 weeks in advance. When we pulled up all the hotels on the area were sold out. So I was happy to lay my head on a pillow at The Econo Lodge.

I guess it's not everyday you find a family run motel that's been in business over forty years. In the off season, the innkeeper sews, knits and crochets. Her handiwork is for sale in the front office where she lays out breakfast treats wrapped in plastic wrap. I asked her if she made the curtains in the room. She did. She explained they were odd sized windows. The quilts to match are coming. She gave us great suggestions for dinner and warned us of false advertising and other shenanigans in the Black Hills. Our cabin was quiet, clean, affordable and a perfect fit with a queen and a twin at opposite ends. I was able to refreeze my ice blocks and keep my road veggie snacks cool in the refrigerator. The cabins have kitchenettes, so if you bring your own cooking utensils, plates and food, you can save even more.
