Sunshine Inn

This is a classic motel right next to the Wall drug complex-downtown. Great location with clean, efficient rooms. Vintage yes..but with all you need for a comfortable stay. The gentleman who runs the place is gracious, kind and genuinely wanting you to have a good stay! Also it’s a great value! Two thumbs up!

Sunshine Inn is the best! Our room was clean and comfortable. The shower was hot and the beds were very comfortable. This motel reminds me of traveling with my family as a kid. We always stayed in independent motels throughout the West. The Sunshine Inn was only a block from Wall Drug and the rest of the downtown shopping stores. I can't wait to stay there again!

I recently moved cross country, and made a pit stop in Wall Drug. We were struggling to find a hotel that accepted cats (and didn’t charge an exorbitant price for them). My husband popped in to ask what their pet policy was, and was welcomed by the most helpful and friendly manager. She welcomed us, and our cats, with open arms; and we had the key to a room in mere minutes. The rooms are simple and quiet, and the location is perfect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the hospitality!!

We spent one night at this lovely little hotel. I feel really lucky because it was right in the middle of Sturgis bike rally week. I’ve been camping out for a week and this was a treat for us. You can’t beat the location, the rooms were very comfortable and very clean. The gentleman that checked us in could not have been nicer. I believe he was the owner a very lovely person. I highly recommend this place.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this family-owned location, and I was blown away by the exceptional service. From the clean rooms to the friendly staff, every aspect of my stay was impressive. The location is also perfectly situated on Main St., within walking distance to local restaurants and shops. The owners go above and beyond to ensure their guests have a wonderful experience. In an era where customer service is often lacking, this location truly stands out. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. DeAnna and her husband are the greatest!

First thing I noticed was how SPOTLESS the office is. Second thing I noticed was the smile on the owner’s face as he greeted us! I knew we made the right choice to stay local vs a chain! The room was immaculate and simple. We needed a comfy bed and a good shower after 12 hours of driving. When we checked out, we had a very pleasant conversation with the owner. I am sorry I didn’t get your name! But I have a special place for the memento you gave me to remember our stay and it wasn’t the cherry pie (which was god, too!) Thank you so much for all you do for those that stay with you!

I'd give 10 stars if I could. The lady at the front desk was so nice. The room was so clean and comfortable. Its an older, no frills motel. Number 17 didn't have fridge, coffee maker or microwave but it was so clean, and neat as a pin. It's less than a block from Wall Drug and Badlands Saloon (try the rocky mountain oysters). 20 mins from Badlands NP. I'd bet that this motel is the BEST one in Wall. (I paid $134 total (mid May) and that was including the $10 pet fee). Thank you Sunshine Inn 🌞

Very clean and John the owner greeted me in parking saw I was towing a trailer. He help me park! Very nice gentleman. This hotel is right next to everything Wall Drug has to offer. Highly recommend, I was there last night of Sturgis 85th rally. I didn't have a reservation. At the time every hotel was $175 and above, John charged $113.15 taxs included.

You can't beat the location. If you came to spend quality time in Wall Drugs or day hikes in the Bad Lands, this is the place! Super friendly Vet Owner Manager. At $89/night Seniiors /AAA rate it's nice on the wallet too.....

This is a nice spot to lay your head. It was clean and comfortable and everything we needed. DeAnna at the front desk was kind and welcoming. I'd definitely stay again!! Two thumgs up!!

Clean. Comfy beds. Quiet. Very friendly and knowledgeable owner, great guy. Just be aware no fridge, microwave, or in-room coffee. Excellent value!

Clean motel. Great service. Comfortable room. Great location in Wall- can walk to everything. Very limited bfast service.

Stayed here on short notice while on family road trip. Called about a room at 8:30ish at night. Got checked in and got a great nights rest. Discovered a couple of issues while there, and the management went WAY above and beyond to make sure we were happy, as well as addressing it with employees to make sure it didn't happen to another guest. We could not be happier with the service we got here!

The people are so friendly. The room was very clean and quiet. When we checkef in they gave us a 25% coupon for breakfast the next morning, and 2 free drink tickets. It's walking distance to Wall Drugs and the town area. If we are ever out this way again we will stay here again.

Stayed there 2 years ago, and my daughters and I still talk about our stay there! While other hotels were charging $400 a night, they charged less than $100. We got in very late, owner came and carried our luggage to our room and made sure we were in our room before turning in himself. 6 week trip, and this is the only hotel we still talk about. Not much for breakfast, but price for hotel more than made up for it! Would stay there again and again.

Spotlessly clean, convenient and quiet location, and everything works-if you are traveling to Badlands, this is a great base and a great place to stay. And really enjoyed the beautiful flowers, blooming even into the second week of October.

The sunshine inn is a cozy little motel on the edge of Wall Drug. It gives the "your grandparents house" warm vibe that makes you feel comfortable and sleep well. The room is clean and full of the essentials. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It seems like it fills up fast because we got the last room available around 5 pm.

I booked this hotel because it is very close to the 240 freeway. Also my call kept on dropping when I wanted to reserve this hotel as we were driving here, but John was persistent and called me back on the phone. I reserved it because it was such a great deal (at the time, on a weekday, it was about $59). It was a much better rate than the other hotels, especially ones that are chains. It's a small hotel but I like the fact that I don't need to take any elevators or go through a long hallway to get to my room. The rooms are right outside the parking lot. John got it right with setting the room temperature to a very comfortable good nights sleep, as well as the linens and blankets he chose for the bed. Free wifi, and free pastries/coffee in the morning. Breakfast starts at 7AM. A no frills hotel, but very clean and simple. MUCH better than staying at a Motel 6.

Our group of CMA (Christian Motorcycle Association) were on our way to Gillette Wyoming for National Rally at the Camplex, we had reservations in Wall S.D at the Sunrise Inn motel. Very nice place to stay and the owner was very helpful. Motel very clean would definitely stay again when in the area. He is also a veteran MC. OoooRahh

I highly recommend this place. Very warm, nice owner who's incredibly helpful. Not fancy but good value for the money. In walking distance of Wall Drug and area restaurants too. If we pass through here again, we will definitely rebook here

Simple, plain motel in the middle of town away from the interstate and the other "discount" hotels/motels. Firm beds, clean rooms, very quiet, nice SoCal man owns it. Rolls, coffee and juice in the morning. One block from Wall Drug. Very good value for a $50 room. Trip Advisor had almost 100 positive reviews of this place. Owner, John, is a Vietnam Veteran who was born and raised in SoCal. UCLA graduate. Great guy.

Courteous personnel and priced way below the nearby options. The room is clean, spacious, quiet air conditioner that's also nice and cool. Bed is super comfy and the bathroom is newly updated. TV is new and clear reception and the wi-fi is perfect. Can't beat the price! The Badlands eastern most entrance (on 90W) is 5 miles south!

Very friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Surprising cheap price for just a block from Wall Drug !! Will stay at the Sunshine Inn every time !!

Last minute rest over night forced me to look at Yelp for the nearest hidden gem. Based on reviews I chose Sunshine Inn. This is a classic oldie but a goodie. If you are looking for five star resort style amenities in Wall #1 good luck #2 don't even think of giving this place anything less than they deserve which is five stars. This humble Inn delivers nothing short of excellence in customer service, Deanna is delightful and took time to answer our questions with a smile. (We are accustomed to staying in five star resorts by the way). For the fair price, you get a clean room and extremely friendly service. The term "you get what you pay for" should be considered when rating this Inn. We certainly got what we paid for and much more than expected.

Stayed at this hotel a few times while traveling thru the past couple years. Called a month inadvance for a reservation. On the website it says ask for the senior rate at check in. So I did. The front desk lady told me I already have the senior rate!! Why did you give it to me before I asked or before you knew I was a senior? If your not gonna honor a senior rate, take it off your website. Front desk doesn't open until 7am. Which means no ice for your cooler or breakfast!. I'll pass on this hotel next time.

Great stop for our Club the week before Sturgis. The owner really catered to our needs. We hope to be back. Rush, LHR

It was the perfect stop for the night, had everything we needed for 2 of us to sleep, shower and get some coffee in the morning. It was very clean and the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating!

John and staff are the best! My family has stayed here many times over the years at various times and for different reasons. It is always clean, comfortable and very affordable. Recently we stayed again on the way to the Black Hills and also on the way back. We had four rooms the first night and two on the way back. John always remembers our names and is friendly and helpful. A great place to stay!

Highly recommend. Clean rooms, friendly staff, lowest price around, convient location.

All Goods, no Bads. I think the owner checked us in. She was very friendly and courteous. Clean rooms downtown within short walk to all shops and Wall Drugs which was cool to walk through for a first timers like us. Directly across the street from Badlands Harley so is handy if you want to overpay for a T shirt like the Misses and I do on a regular basis. Wall is a kick off point to the Badlands so staying here and getting to experience this little town is worth the miles. Would recommend the Sunshine Motel to all that pass through this great little SD town.

Had a really nice stay at the Sunshine Inn. Friendly owners, super clean and comfortable rooms all in walking distance to Wall Drug, 25 mins from Badlands. Will def stay again when back in South Dakota.

It was an accident I stopped here but it was PERFECT! Very friendly staff, VERY clean room and roomy! Thanks for an excellent rest!

Fantastic hotel for the price. Clean, comfortable, and staff is very nice. Good location for several area sights too

We stayed at the Sunshine Inn as a jumping off point for a hiking trip to the Badlands on 08/26/14. This little motel was clean, quiet, and affordable (which is all we need when we're passing through). The motel is a little "bare bones," but perfectly acceptable for our needs. It's a privately owned motel and the owner is also the manager (I think). Either way, the gentleman that attended us on arrival was very friendly, attentive and concerned with his customer's comfort. There aren't any vending or ice machines accessible to the guests but these things are available in the office if you need them. It was just what we needed and we would definitely stay here again.

As no frill classic motels go the Sunshine Inn in Wall, South Dakota, is as good as it gets. The rooms are what you would expect, clean, well maintained and very reasonably priced. John, the proprietor, and his staff are what makes the Sunshine Inn great. Will be returning for many years hopefully.

Sunshine Inn is in a prime location for walking around Wall. The rooms are a little "old school" but neatly and cleanly kept. The lady running the front desk was VERY helpful: ice for coolers, iron and ironing board. I would recommend you stepping out of your comfort zone and giving them a try. I mean that in the nicest way. I am spoiled to big chain motel/hotels, so I can say that I stepped out of my comfort zone. I truly enjoyed our stay.

This is one of those places that I hesitate to Yelp about because I kind of want to keep it my little secret so they aren't full when I get there again. This place is great! The owner was really, really nice. We had a cabin room, which was very quiet and very clean. In fact, I'm not sure that I have ever been in a hotel room that was more clean than this one. Sure, the place has older furnishings, but it was super clean and for $44/night, it was awesome! It is located just a few steps from Wall Drug, which was great, too. When we are back in the area, I'm sure we will stay here again.

We stayed here in the "off" season, the owner was nice enough to get a room for us although we hadn't made a reservation. Very clean, very comfy. Walking distance from Wall Drug and a small restaurant. I even had my big dog with us and he was more than welcomed! Cheaper than nearby options, close to the Badlands, and definitely worth the stay.

It's 1/2 block from Wall Drugs and the fact that it is older and locally owned is outweighed by the fact that is is clean and only cost $75. Owner was very pleasant and I was tired after driving all the from Wisconsin today. This all dramatically made it better.

Simple, quite dated but clean. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. There aren't many great options in this area. In South Dakota, when you get away from Sioux Falls or Rapid City, the middle of the state by way of I-90 is full of run down diners and hotels/motels with terrible coffee shops! A young entrepreneur should set up a local coffee shop by I -90 mid-state. Enough with the 5cent coffee! Give me something bold and it'd be great to have a soy creamer option!

clean fresh smelling comfortable every thing you need low price too boot. one half block from WallDrug.

The owner John was just plain awesome and helpful. Though this hotel is simple with no microwave in room or fridge, the beds were very comfortable and the price was great for the area. If you needed ice or anything heated in a microwave John took care of it for you. I highly recommend the Sunshine Inn for a basic room with comfy beds and when you just need a good nights rest.

I can't say enough good things about Sunshine. We were traveling two adults and two kids on July 29, 2011. We pulled in about midnight where the owner was up and waiting for us, worried we had been in an accident. I don't know anywhere else where the owner would do that. Our room was very clean and not too dated. The beds were comfortable and we had enough pillows for everyone without bringing our own in. Breakfast was orange juice and a honey bun. Simple but perfect for us. We hated to leave but will definitely stay again. It is close to everything in Wall and is a great stopping point for the Badlands too. Two queen beds for one night cost us $74.00 with tax and fees. Thank you Sunshine Inn!

No frills, but the cleanest place for the best price we've ever stayed at. Very clean linens, bathroom and nice towels. No musty smell and very quiet. The air conditioner actually worked as it should and wasn't too loud. On top of that, right at the end of Main St so you can walk to everything Wall has to offer!

I rated this a 4 instead of a 3 and here's why. First if you're looking for a over night stay or a couple of days then this is the place. With the discount my wife and I paid $50.00 a night staying for two nights. Now here's what you don't get. No flat screen tv, no microwave nor refrigerator, coffee poor, etc, in the room,,,, but the owner John will offer everything he has. If you have cold food that needs to go into the refrig give it to him and he'll put it in the one in the office. He'll even offer to fill your ice chest for you, it's also in the office. I was very impressed the next morning when we walked by and he addressed us by our last name. If you're looking to visit the Wall Drug Store this is in walking distance. I've only stay in two places with blazing high speed internet and this is one of them. Why not rate a 5, the bed only had one pillow per person when ch I'm pretty sure John would have given us a extra but I shouldn't have to ask. Flat screens is a must these days. But if you want a small room not a lot of money stay here.

My boyfriend and I needed a place to stay for a night, so we chose the Sunshine Inn. We didn't make a reservation and were lucky that there was a vacancy. We took the only type of room available, which was a room with two full sized beds. There was a T.V. in the room, but no fridge or microwave (which was a bit disappointing). The bed wasn't the most comfy thing ever. The wifi worked pretty well. A nice bonus is that they provide coffee, juice, and pre-packaged pastries.

This is a great little hotel just a block away from Wall Drug and several restaurants. The owner is super-friendly and very accommodating. Prices are very reasonable and the beds are quite comfortable. This place is way better than any of the chain hotels. You will be impressed!

The owner was very nice and friendly. He recommended a great restaurant for us to enjoy, which we found to be a great pick. The rooms are clean, but very basic. Not our usual type of hotel. Unfortunately, we didn't stay due to racial discrimination at a local bar. The owner, john was very polite and understanding when we decided to abruptly leave.

So we are currently staying here. We pulled into Wall around 8:30pm because we wanted to go to Wall Drug. After we ate it started to started to storm pretty bad so we decided to look into lodging instead of camping. After talking to two other places, I called the Sunshine in. The owner not only had a room but he allowed us to have two dogs, instead of just one, which was the policy of the hotel. Now, this is not a four star hotel it is a quaint, clean little motel, If you're hoity toity then you would probably scoff at the idea of this place but it was exactly what we needed. Our room was clean and comfortable and he gave it to us for 42 dollars with tax. I really appreciated the hospitality and the owner provided us with amazing customer service. Thank you Sunshine Inn!

Wow! What a great experience. Spotless rooms, reasonable rates, and warm hospitality. Owned and operated by a lovely man named John who truly cares about his business and customers. Much better than staying at a chain hotel.

Exceptionally clean, comfy beds, friendly and accomodating owners. It's a no frills hotel, but what it lacks in frills it makes up for in all the important ways for a good night's rest while traveling. If you're looking for value for your dollar then this is the place when in Wall.

Hotels a nice place it's clean good location right in town you can go see all the sights. Great water, pressure is excellent. Hot water is excellent when travelling. Has a light packaged breakfast just donuts and coffee and juice enough to get going.

Stopped at the Sunshine on our way back to Wisconsin. Was very pleased.Great value for a reasonable price. Owner was extremely gracious as well. Give it a try, I think you'll like it! Jeff

This is the cleanest place I've ever stayed in! Nothing fancy; there's a small tv, table and chairs, big beds, simple bathroom (they have the softest bath towels, BTW!) but the cleanliness is worth more than anything else! The friendly staff/owners are delightful and helpful. Great location close to everything in Wall.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but has nice rooms especially for the price. Towel from the last guest was left on the back of the bathroom door. Wifi didn't work.

We were just passing through town and picked this place randomly. John ( the owner and front desk guy) was the best. Good for great conversation and provided a nice clean place to stay. We hated to leave.

Basic and noisy, but clean and cheap. The rooms are small and have just the very basic of amenities. Our room had 2 beds, a very small table & 2 chairs, a dresser, and a small tv. But there is not a clock, nor a coffee maker in the room. The walls are paper thin, so you can hear the slightest noise in the next room or outside. However, the room was very clean and for the price I really can't complain. If you are looking for a cheap place to lay you head for the night this isn't a bad choice. If you want more amenities, you may want to pay more for something a bit more luxurious. Bonus - it is just across from the famous Wall Drug and it comes with a complementary breakfast of coffee, oj and pastries.
