Come relax by the creek! We are a small motel right off the main roads, but still within walking distance of the Spearfish's main streets. Tucked away in a quiet location, and the Spearfish Creek runs right behind the motel! Our staff is friendly and willing to help with whatever we can! If you're looking for a not-so-pricey and quaint place to stay, then call us and book a room!

We've had visiting family members stay at this motel several times in years past, but no more. It has progressively fallen into disrepair over the years, both inside the rooms and out. The office service is spotty at best; often there isn't even anyone around at all. If you do choose to stay there, be sure and inspect the room ahead of time. This place consists of several different sections and some are definitely older, shabbier, and dirtier than others. Way too much clutter around the property, too.

If you are looking for honest people and a manager that cares this would be your place. It is not fancy but that is the beauty of this clean and affordable hotel. Thank you for the great service this weekend, it is very much appreciated.

Older motel with exceptional location—right next to the Spearfish Creek (we love the sound of a running creek). We were searching for a place to stay the night and noticed their billboard that said… “Before you check-in, check us out”. We are glad that we did. Room was clean and comfortable—perfect for our one night in Spearfish. Spring outdoor clean-up had not yet been done. It is located right next to a 5 mile walking path (that is accessible from the property) - enjoyed the walk to the City Park/Campground. If we make it back to this area, we’d likely stay again.

This is an old property with no Bella and whistles yet very decent. My room had a double bed that was pretty comfortable, a mini fridge and microwave as well as a flat screen tv. Everything was clean. It's perfectly located right on the creek and just blocks from downtown. Super reasonable rates and overall a good stay.

This motel is situated in a back street, at some distance from the town center, so, not very easy to come across but it is worth looking for. The lady at the front desk was very nice and the room was clean, comfortable and well-equiped. The price was reasonable ($84 the night).but there was no breakfast. The grounds would look much nicer with a bit of upkeep.

What a rip off! We certainly did not have a room that looked like those another guest posted. Our room smelled, had dirt on the bathroom floor, dirt and trash on the bathroom counter, and trash (including beer bottle cap) under the bed. The bed and furniture was so old and in such bad shape that it looked like it should have been thrown away or burned.

I don't usually give bad reviews but I have to admit this one really shocked me after reading all the good reviews. I'm not sure where these other people were staying but it wasn't at the Spearfish Creek Inn that I stayed at. It looks a bit abandoned from the outside and there are stairs with frayed and stained carpet that lead up to your room (we had a 2nd floor double bed room) to your stained carpet musty smelling room. Now I know Spearfish gets packed and there aren't a ton of hotels so this one probably gets by but I wouldn't ever list it as a "nice place to stay" or a "flashback to the 50's" with any good connotations that might go with those phrases. However, the room was sufficient for one night if you want to save money and you don't care about anything else. The reviews are correct in that it is right by the creek and a couple blocks from main street...

Room was right out of the 50's but in a good way. Quaint, great soap, people were very nice and friendly. There was a pool outside they were cleaning the next morning but we didn't use it; however they seemed quite diligent at cleaning it and making sure the shock was right, etc. In other words, involved and caring management. Very good with directing people where to go for dinner and breakfast the next morning. Main Street was really lovely and preserved; a great place to walk around.

Nice value, rooms have everything you need. Nice and clean. Located close to down town so you can walk to the Friday night street dance. Creak running along back side of motel with a side walk and park benches. Great people they made room on there patio for us to park our bike due to hail storms heading our way.
