Tucked away (and I mean "tucked" away) in Newcastle, you'll find your stay for the evening. Don't…read moreget discouraged if you can't find it right away. It's there. I eventually found it. Of course, I wasn't using GPS like you are, so it took me a bit longer. Tucked away means quiet and quiet it was. Birds chirping were the only sounds I heard when I opened the car door. That's a good sign if you're looking for quiet. I checked in and was given room #13. Yes, it ran through my mind, uh oh, unlucky number 13. But doom and gloom weren't in the cards for me. Quite the contrary. Number 13 was exceptionally clean and comfortable. My host was friendly and helpful when it came to suggesting a place for dinner. Though trying to follow his directions found me at an oil refinery. LoL! Again, no GPS. I eventually backtracked and ended up where I started to. Quick Tip: At your next stop at a store, pick up some cheap double AA batteries and shove them into your suitcase. You'll be glad you did when your remote for the TV doesn't work. No having to go through the hassle of getting dressed and making your way to the front desk or waiting for maintenance to get to your room. Just pop them in, and you're set. As I had to do at The Pines. It didn't take but a minute before I could watch the mindless dribble which spewed forth. Oh, don't forget to pull your batteries before you leave. You'll undoubtedly need them down the road.

I didn't want to spend a lot because this was just going to be used for sleep during a nice little road trip. The owner actually was outside when we pulled up late(930pm) and he was very helpful and gave us the room key. The room was small and quaint very clean very vintage feeling. The bed was very comfortable it was soft but firm and did not feel old. Very quiet environment no loud noises even early in the morning. Also, a very cute area outside for lounging around. I would highly recommend staying here!

Without the Sage motel, I would have been forced to sleep in my car for the evening in an area that I'm completely unfamiliar with. And the price couldn't be beat! The cons: No pets allowed.

They are rude and disrespectful, and quite honestly encouraging of visitors to not come back. We had a swim club stay for a weekend (30+ families) and were cursed at and warned about not being allowed back because we took up their entire hotel and we ate all of their food at their restaurant. Ummmmmmm - you're welcome. Until the management changes, this is a hotel that will make you feel unwelcome, and like you are a problem for them to deal with. I would encourage visitors to stay anywhere else but here. Sad that we wont be able to support the NewCastle Swim Club at their meets in the future.

The Sage Motel has great WIFI and many charging ports. Beautiful king sized bed. I highly recommend driving past the Hilltop Motel to the Sage Motel. Locally owned. Refreshing attitude and service.

The price is amazing, about 30%-50% less than what other hotels in Newcastle are charging. And if you want a hotel room right in the Black Hills, say in Custer (37 mi away), expect to pay 4X as much. Newcastle is right between Devil's Tower (WY) and Mount Rushmore (SD), so it is the perfect location for all your Black Hills site seeing. Yes, this is an older hotel, built in the 40's or 50's and the rooms are small. But they are spotlessly clean. The tub has an 11-jet Jacuzzi, the perfect thing after day of hiking the trails and seeing the sites in the Black Hills. There's a small kitchen area with a table, 2 chairs, a bench, a small fridge (that actually freezes ice!) and a microwave. No phone, but there's TV, WiFi and plenty of plug outlets to charge all your electronics. The only thing this room lacks is hangers, so bring a few with you. If you've read negative reviews about the Hilltop, check the date. It is true that under the former owners the rooms were often not clean and with worn carpet and dark paneling, the room seem closed and dingy. But now, under new ownership, this is an ideal place to stay.

They truly work very hard to make sure your stay is memorable. You could spend the day just fooling around looking at the amazing sites or stay in the lodge and look at amazement at the fish and wildlife their family have taken over the years in their own backyard. What a paradise. I have made two new life friends and will definitely be returning very soon. Thank you Twyla and Larry for an amazing time Chris B
