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).

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.

There is an indoor pool, hot tub and fitness center in a separate building. Free parking was right outside our door.

And, the internet worked quite well -- better than one often finds in larger properties. The less than good: This is a property which has had few if any improvements or renovations since it was built -- decades ago. Aged, wrinkled carpet; electrical outlets so worn that plugs literally will fall out of them; really tiny bathroom-really; a through-the-wall HVAC unit sealed by duct tape; no desk; very old and "dated" furnishings.
