Food was fantastic. Second day in a row I have eaten here. I came in 5 min before close and they whipped up breakfast for me. If you want great, classic breakfast in Deadwood, make sure you swing in!

My go to For an Affordable Room... Don't get your hopes up Its Nothing Fancy but leaves you extra spending money for fun. And you don't have to go far for an awesome breakfast, some of the best breakfast in town right down in the lobby...

The service was friendly and excellent. The first room didn’t have hot water so they got us into another right away. Cozy, clean, cheapest rates in town! Good stuff. The diner has THE BEST breakfast! Giant old-style diner pancakes, corned beef hash with perfect crispy edges… Love this place and will be back.

Date March, 27th 2025. My girl and I stayed here for Six Days now. The rooms are simple. No refrigerators, small coffee maker. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom is clean, the sheets are clean. The heater has to be turned on and adjusted at the unit. No thermostat. Simple and not complex. The cafe food is delicious. Eat here even if you don't stay here. The coffee is also delicious. Simple menu nothing lavish. You won't regret it. The location is SPOT ON to downtown Deadwood. The staff are friendly, and the price is cheap. You honestly can't beat this place for any type of stay 1 night or 2 weeks.

Rooms are dated and could use a really deep clean. Bed was comfy though and its location to downtown is great. Items we missed in the room...bath mat and a mat in front of door as floor was lino and it had rained so tracked in a lot of dirt from parking area.
