Just like the others, we found the rooms in the motel to be extra clean, wi-fi was great, and area trip planning was very helpful. The recommended restaurant fit the bill and was in walking distance. As stated on the credenza, we asked for and received a great hair dryer and was told to keep it in the room for... More

Thank you for the kind and gratifying remarks. We're sticklers for cleanliness here and take great pride in our staff of professionals who maintain our high standards. As to our wif-fi service, two routers and a repeater scattered about the premises get a strong signal into every room. During the rare instances when a customer has connectivity issues I can... More

BEST SERVICE EVER! This hotel was a fabulous stay! The most helpful, honest, and hospitable service I have ever experienced in a hotel (and I stay in hotels 250 nights a year)! SUPER clean on the inside and very comfortable beds even though it doesn't look brand new on the outside.

We stayed here on a road trip last summer. I had a bad opinion of "motels" (with the doors on the outside), and the Sunshine Inn completely changed my mind! The room was exactly what we needed: clean and a good price. The owner was incredibly helpful to us with local tips as well as tips that helped us along... More

We enjoyed sharing our knowledge and information about the area with you. Helping customers with their trip planning in the region is one of our favorite functions--certainly gives us a chance to share our love and enthusiasm for and about South Dakota with the thousands of visitors who pass our way every year. Yes, our doors do face outside, as... More

I have never met a proprietor who is more genuinely happy to serve his customers, particularly in the small-local-hotel business. We were driving in to Wall late (11pm) and needed two rooms to fit our large family. He not only didn't flinch at hosting a large family, but he gave us the adjoining room for a crazy-low price, and even... More

Thanks for the kind remarks. Helping customers out with their particular needs is an important aspect of our service. As you can imagine, large groups in a family-oriented town like ours are frequent guests--and we're equipped to make their overnight stays comfortable, convenient and affordable. Turning two adjacent rooms with connecting doors into a "suite" is usually a great way... More

Risking a defensive response from owner John (whom we did not encounter), YES, this independent motel is what many reviewers have stated -- clean, spacious, adequate, no-frills, cordial hosts. But why not kick it up a notch by providing fairly inexpensive amenities such as a luggage rack, hair dryer, a clock/radio and tissue? And how about some wall art (in... More

Thank you for calling attention to our "clean, spacious, adequate, no-frills" atmosphere and of course your kind remarks about our "cordiality." We believe the great, competitive price we charge (check the AAA book's price comparisons for some documentation for that claim) more than "fills the bill" with respect to our customers' needs. In keeping with our competitive price advantage, the... More

Our family stayed here during our summer trip out west. First, the town of Wall, SD is worth a stop. Wall Drug is a fantastic place...what a great roadside attraction! And staying in Wall gives you a perfect entry point for exploring the Badlands. The Sunshine Inn is not flashy, but the price is excellent, and the location is perfect... More

We appreciate your positive comments and hope you'll come back to re-experience the Sunshine Inn. As an older property (built in 1977) we are certainly anything but flashy. However, as you graciously note, we do our best to provide service, comfort and value. Thanks for noting our location, just a block away from Wall Drug Store and the rest of... More

Ditto to what most reviewers have already said...Extremely clean, comfortable beds, linens, and room. The Sunshine Inn has everything a traveler needs for the night and, if not, all you have to do is ask! The rooms have plenty of space and they even offer free roll-aways. The WiFi worked better than at any of the chain hotels we stayed... More

Nothing fancy but clean, comfortable and reasonable prices. You can walk to Wall Drug. The owner of Sunshine Inn is a real gem. He was most helpful on the local area and routes to take to get to and from Wall to other points of interest. I would definitely stay at Sunshine Inn again.
