Best Western Graham's

This has become one of my favorite places to stop when traveling through South Dakota.
It has everything I look for in a motel/hotel. Friendly and professional staff, exceptionally clean, comfortable, and quiet! And a bonus - it reminds me of the roadside motels from back in the Route 66 days!

A lot of reviews say it's dated and doesn't have the frills of more modern places. All I can say is that the carpet isn't old and is very clean, the beds and pillows are super comfy, the water is warm, and the whole place is squeaky clean. Plus, I'm 5' tall and I love the shower head that can come down to my height and not spray me in the face!

Plus, I really like the kiosk check-in! It's very streamlined, but you're still talking to a human that is very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. I enjoyed chatting with her about the animals from our respective countries!

Thank you, Best Western of Murdo! I'll definitely be back!

This was the perfect stop on our drive out west. The man working the front desk was incredibly kind and helpful, which is great for when you arrive after a long drive. Our room smelled and looked very clean when we entered too. The bathrooms are small and a little outdated, but let’s be real, this is a motel on the side of the highway, not a 5 ⭐ hotel. It was absolutely worth it for the money and I’d be happy to stay here again. It’s across the street from another motel, which had ZERO cars there and the parking lot for the BW had almost a dozen for a random Tuesday night… that tells you that people trust and prefer this motel over others in the area. They had a good hot breakfast (eggs, sausage, toast, biscuits and gravy) and options for a cold breakfast too - this was really unexpected and was nice.

We had dogs with us and it was a flat $25/night for the dogs, which is great compared to other hotels. It’s a motel too, which means you access each room from the outside, so it was perfect for letting the dogs in and out. We also couldn’t hear our neighbors or have people above or below us, so the dogs didn’t bark at anything (which can be a challenge in classic hotels where there’s a lot of noise).

Highly recommend as a good place to stay as you’re traveling across South Dakota!

I was another victim of the Christmas Blizzard and was fortunate to be find this Best Western. Traveling with my mom’s 3 (service)cats in her move from WA to GA, finding accommodation wasn’t always easy. But coming across this Best Western was such a relief. Both of our rooms were immaculate, cozy, and comfortable. They also served breakfast. The really amazing thing about this Best Western was the people. We came in on Christmas Eve. In this small town everything closed early. On Christmas morning, Dave made sure he let us know we could take as much breakfast back to our rooms as we needed/wanted to get us through the rest of our day there. They always made sure we had anything we needed and were comfortable. Every member of the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They are doing a great job!

Great room, excellent shower, good breakfast. I enjoyed the check-in experience. If you don't like outside doors, this may not be for you, but we felt very secure.

My husband and I were stranded due to weather and had to get a place to stay quickly. The staff were extremely kind, and very helpful. Our room was cozy and I was so grateful and relieved at how clean and fresh it was. I would definitely stay here again!

Very Quiet, Comfortable,and Clean place. Beds are perfect and pillows. If Really Hot water you wishing for and great pressure this little place has it. Breakfast area ABig Plus hot or cold choices, fresh fruits. I’ll be adding this location too our favorite list.

Got stranded due to the weather on a holiday trip to the area. The staff made sure we were well cared for throughout our 2-day stay! The rooms were sparking clean, breakfast was hot and Murdo was a friendly little town.

Additionally, they extended a small holiday discount to all guests checking in due to the bad weather which was a nice added touch! Would highly recommend to everyone.

We stayed at Murdo SD, Best Westen. It was awesome. The cleanest rooms we’ve stayed in and they smelled good. D, the manager, was so friendly, helpful and nice. His smile is infectious. Great guy. Best place to stay. Really good breakfast too. We will definitely stay again.

Whenever I’m in Murdo (10 or so nights per year) this is always my choice. Pet friendly and an easy walk to the city park. Rooms are always spotless. I had concerns when the old manager said she was retiring but those were put to rest when I stayed over Thanksgiving. Everything is exactly the same as it has always been over the years.

A little gem in the middle of nowhere. Very clean room. Staff was excellent and breakfast was really good. Would stay again!! Highly recommend if your tired and need a clean, safe place to stay.

When we first pulled up, our initial thoughts were they took an old motel and just slapped the Best Western label on it, but we were wrong. The lobby and rooms were very nice and updated. Everything was clean. If ever in the area in the future, we would definitely stay there again.

NADINE! She was so helpful!
This hotel was so clean, we were able to park our vehicle in front of our room. Check in was quick. Breakfast was great, hot food! Quiet hotel. Would highly recommend for the price!

Stayed for one night while road tripping, good breakfast in the morning, clean rooms, and very considerate service

Very friendly staff!! Very clean rooms and comfortable bed. Great hot breakfast. Great price!!! Would even be good for families with children

Coming back from Sturgis, stopped for the nite due to rain. Room was comfortable, clean and stocked with fridge, microwave, coffee pot. Only downside were the flies. We left before the breakfast time but it looked good as they were setting up! Would stay again.

My room was so cozy and the front desk lady was super nice. It was a quiet and safe area. I was only staying one night, but would for sure stay again if I am ever in the area.

This is a great motel. My kids and I stopped here on our way back to Minnesota from the Badlands. It was very clean. The pool was great. The breakfast is awesome. There are plenty of options for vegetarians and even a couple vegan (almond milk!) and gluten free options. We enjoyed the pizza place across the street as well. My only complaint is that it was $220 for the night and that seemed expensive compared to other motels we stayed at on the trip- though the breakfast may have made up for that. It was a great stop on our road trip.

The staff was friendly and helpful, they directed me to several local places for a good meal. The room was clean, quiet and warm. The breakfast was delicious and filling!

This hotel was way better than we expected...perfect down to the tiniest details! They have a lovely pool that is well maintained, clean, and perfect water temp for the summer evening we were there. They also have a little playground if you are traveling with kids and a nice picnic area with tables. Our room was spacious and very clean with soft comfortable beds and a table and 2 chairs for enjoying a meal or snack. The tiny details I mentioned...even soft good quality toilet paper and a powerful little hair dryer that is probably more powerful than the one I have at home! They also have a windshield cleaning station to clean all the bugs off your car! Great place to stay!

Oh ladies where do I even start? You girls really were one of the bright spots of our trip. Thank you for taking such good care of my Mom and I on our crazy road trip. Thanks for laughing at all of our jokes. We sing your praises and hope you guys have a gentle week!!! Highly recommend!
