Stayed at this Best Western recently and we had a nice clean room. the free breakfast we had in the…read moremorning was probably the best free breakfast of any hotel chain I have ever stayed in. I used to travel often for my job and could not believe how good this place was. In the courtyard each morning at 7am, the owner or a representative would make omelet's, custom made to your order and they were prepared on an original covered chuck-wagon. Nice outdoor seating as well. Very relaxed place and a great stop if you find yourself needing a great place on your road-trip. We recommend the Best Western Pioneer in Lusk, Wyoming.

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!

Two very comfortable double beds with nice sheets. Fridge, microwave and TV w/ 1000 channels. No five stars b/c the a/c was loud and the bathroom door didn't really close but we were very fond of it. Hit the Outpost (name?) Restaurant down the street for breakfast. Next door is the cheapest gas in town too, btw. Beacause I read so many hotel reviews, let me get this off my chest - BARGAIN BASEMENT HOTELS DO NOT PROVIDE TOILETRIES OR BREAKFAST! NONE. are we clear? In my (quite extensive) experience, you should not expect these in American hotels under $80/ night. Nor should you expect pillow top beds or nice towels!!! You dont get those at cheap hotels. That's why they are CHEAP.

Hospitality was over the top. Twyla and Larry the owners of this historical landmark are two of the most amazing people.

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

The shower was large and much nicer than the shower in the Hilton and Fairfield Inn we had stayed at on this vacation. We have tended to avoid small Mom and Pop hotels but this was a winner.

Townhouse motel was a really nice place to stay. I was there for a couple weeks and would've…read moreprobably stayed longer if I could've gotten my dogs out into the dog run. There's a little fenced area that has some nice grass and a little dog hut for shade. The only problem was that the proprietors dog was out there from morning till night. She's a cute little dog, very friendly, however my dogs are puppies on their way to becoming large dogs, therefore, they are large puppies. They play really hard together and I was worried about the other dog getting caught underneath or in between the two of my girls when they were playing. I just thought that the proprietor would have taken her dog in for a little bit, at least an hour or so, so my dogs could've gotten out and played as well and seeing as I was a paying customer who was on track to stay 3 months. The proprietor was very nice, very polite and I never did ask her if she could bring her dog inside so that mine could play for a little bit. Maybe I should have but I didn't want to sound like a snobby person, as if my dogs were special or something, (they are to me but then they are my girls) I just thought that she would have done it without me needing to ask because she saw me every day walk the girls over to the fenced area and then turn around and go back the other direction because they couldn't get in there. I don't know... I guess the fact that I would've done it for somebody else does not mean that somebody else would do it for me. Maybe I was hoping for too much in that I wanted my babies to be out in the sun as well, like hers was every day, all day, no attention... Sometimes even out there all night long, I kind of felt sorry for the little girl actually because no one ever said hi to her, no one ever interacted with her, she was just put out there and kind of forgotten. I would stop and pet her when my girls and I were over by the fence but then I would have to turn around and take my girls the other direction because they couldn't very well just stand outside the fence in the parking lot there... I have no complaints whatsoever about this property. My only dissatisfaction was the fact that my dogs couldn't get out and play for at least an hour a day and they were locked in the motel room most of the time with the exception of when I would take them out on walks which were about a mile every time and probably three times a day. I work nights so I sleep on and off during the day, I get up at least three times and take them on their long walks and I just felt bad that my girls couldn't get out and play in the Sun while I was taking a short nap. We ended up moving into a small one bedroom, short term rental because I will be in this area working for three months. When I checked out, I stripped down all the beds, laid out the sheets so they were easily counted, laid out the towels so that they could easily be accounted for as well, I cleaned everything... Including mopping the floor... Before I checked out. Anyway if you don't have pets I highly suggest that you stay at the townhouse motel, you will be glad that you did. If you have rambunctious dogs that like to play hard... I would find somewhere else to stay however if you have an older and calmer dog, again I would highly suggest the townhouse motel. Christina was very kind and fair and her back up, Tara, is absolutely awesome!!!!!

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.
