Cedar Pass Lodge, a confusing name for actually a great place in the middle of nowhere. There's no…read morelodge at the lodge. All the overnight accommodations are in individual CABINS. And the cabin we had was cozy and nice & clean. One of the best national park overnights we've had. The main building has a nice giftshop, a small shop (booze sold here), and a just ok restaurant (tiny - boring menu). Great location in the Badlands. Killer views just a short hike from the cabins. There are nighttime ranger talks, also a quick walk from the cabins. We really enjoyed the astronomy presentation. The rangers had a green laser they were able to point out different constellations. We even saw the International Space Station go overhead. The staff we interacted with was very kind.

The cabins are ok but suffer from some deficiencies. - Ours…read morehad two beds crammed in but the smaller one had no bedside light, so the person there required the main room light to read. The larger bed had two ridiculously weak wall lights but also one side lamp. - In-room coffee is one of the small gadgets that take pre-packaged coffee packets. But they only give you two, even for a six night stay. Given there's no daily room service, you're left coffee-less after one morning. We managed to score a few more from the maids/room service people doing room turnover outside but still had to go in to the lodge to ask for more. My advice? Bring a coffee maker from home. - The rooms are basically motel rooms, so you get a mini fridge, microwave, the aforementioned small coffee maker, a nonfunctional TV (we didn't care about that) and weak sometimes nonfunctional wifi. The lodge/cafe has functional wifi. - Some other issues: front door screen wouldn't latch so unless we wanted flies in the room, we had to keep the main door closed. Flies are a problem here. The back door had no screen door at all. Windows were cranky/non-functional. - There we're no instructions on the various remotes. One controls the heat (and possibly AC, not sure); the other controls the main room light and fan. But the light/fan also has wall switches so you might find yourself pushing buttons on the remote to no effect or flipping wall switches uselessly trying to get the light to come on. Didn't need to fiddle with the TV remote. - The alarm clock kept alarming and we couldn't figure out how to cancel the alarm setting, even after going online to read the manual. Ended up unplugging it which also meant losing the USB ports. We always bring extension cords and power strips so that wasn't a big issue. Even with all those problems, the cabins are still nice and are conveniently located within the park. The main building (which I guess is the 'lodge' even though it has no rooms itself) is close by and has essentials as well as one of the better National Park gift shops I've been to. Restaurant is nothing great but it's there too (separate Yelp page for it).

Not much around Interior, WY Population 94.

Comfy beds, friendly staff and a place to do laundry was what we got. It's not fancy, but you wouldn't be in Interior expecting 5 star unless you were totally lost. Bonus!! Robert is the camp kitty. Robert is a girl and LOVES affection. I was sitting outside the laundry room and she just jumped up in my lap. Good value for the money, we'd stay again if we ever found ourselves there again

Things to know- We arrived after the office was closed. If that happens to you, check the cork board to the left of the office door- your room/site location and room key (if applicable) will be in an envelope with your name on it. Similarly, if you check out before the office opens, there is a key drop. They don't do breakfast anymore. The store, located in the office building, has a modest collection of snacks for sale. The room only had decaf coffee and the bedspread needed a washing.

Bad business practice from the owner. I booked a cabin on Jan. 17. When I went to check in June 15,…read moreI was informed that a recent party had more people than anticipated so the owner, Laura, bumped me from my accommodations and gave it to the other group. 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.

We stayed here while visiting the Badlands, and while the hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and…read moreexactly what our family needed, I need to talk about David, who worked the continental breakfast area. 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.
