This place is beat!
Sheets, blankets, and spreads are for double beds not queen-size.
Bath linens shot. Dingy gray and washed-out.
Continental breakfast barely OK.

Let me preface by saying that our family is not one that needs papering and luxury. We are happy with the basics. This was one of the worst hotels we've stayed in and definitely the worst Super 8 we stayed in on our 10 day trip.

The beds were not comfortable and the pillows were like cardboard. The shower/tub had been cleaned, but still did not look clean. I had old brown stains on my towel. You have to mix your own waffle mix with water which was a huge pain and a big mess. There is not enough room for eating breakfast. The night we were there, there were a swarm of grasshoppers and crickets outside the hotel some of which had found their way inside. This was fine, but at some point during the night someone fumigated the bugs, killed them all and didn't bother to clean them up, so there was a carpet of dead, crunchy bugs in the back entryway and the sidewalk leading to the parking lot.

The only good thing about the hotel was the free wi-fi and the hair dryer. It was actually better than your average hotel dryer.

Murdo is a convenient stopping point for midwesterners heading to Mt. Rushmore or the Badlands, but I would recommend staying in one of the other Murdo hotels.

No smoking rooms smelled of smoke
linens did not cover bed so half od the night slept on mattress only then woke up itchy
hot water in shower faucet was on wrong side
breakfast waffles were not mixed up we had to add water to the mix (not good for kids to do)
heater started making loud noise early in the Am
guest doors slammed when closed

This is a basic Super 8. Room wasn't fancy, but OK for a quick overnight stay. Front desk staff was pleasant. Very small breakfast room, so go early.
