Need help from anyone living along I90 in SD

 Once again I need help from by BB friends.  I am working on our cross country trip and need to know the availability of motels along I90 between Mitchell & Wall.  Preferably not more than 100 miles out of Mitchell.  A motel name would be WONDERFUL since I need to make reservations.  If there is anyone out there with this kind of info I would be forever indebted.

Thank you!   Thank you!  Thank you!       Brenda 

Good luck! That's pretty sparsely populated. You might find something in Chamberlain (which is on the Missouri River).

There is a Comfort Inn off I90 Exit 332 I believe in Mitchell. Tele: 605-996-1333.........Comfort Inn in Pierre: exit 212N about 32 miles away from I90.........Comfort Inn in Chamberlain,Exit 26. Tele: 605-734-4222...........DS travels this route all the time coming east from Rapid City..........There are also Holiday Inns at Mitchell, Fort Pierre and Winner, So. Dak

When are you planning on going?  Just remember that it is impossible to get any reservations within 100 miles during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally - most of those rooms are booked up a year in advance.  I lived in R.C. for 20 years and I don't advise going there without reservations. (during tourist season)

we're not in sd but there's a really nice best western in wall south dakota. their water is so soft.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this post.  It has been a very busy couple of days for me. 

Aashlee,  Thanks for your quick response.  I knew it was rather desolate out that way and that's why I was looking to those of you in the area to help me out.  You didn't let me down.  I found a room at the Comfort Inn in Chamberlain.

Thanks to you, too, purseglove, for all the helpful info. 

GmawMary, we are leaving home sometime toward the end of June.  I think the mc rally is in August so we are well ahead of that.  I've also found a motel in RC.  I think we will stay in that area a couple of days.  Any good restaurants you would recommend? 

luv2can, we will be stopping in Wall at the drug store but, need to move on into RC to stay a few days.  I like the soft water, too.  Maybe I'll be lucky enough to have the soft water where we are staying.

BB's, y'all are the best.

We will be moving on to Yellowstone area after RC.  It looks like we will have to stay in the Riverton area.  I refuse to pay $250+ for a motel room and that seems to be the going rate for that area

Although the area is sparsely populated, it is BEAUTIFUL country. In Chamberlain, notice how the land changes right after you cross the Missouri. On the east bank, it's pretty flat. On the west bank, the land starts to really roll. It's kind of cool if you're into geology.

 

There's some pretty good home cookin' at Wall Drug. It's a glorified, rinky-dink tourist trap, but I thought it was fun.

 

I haven't been out that way in a while. We really want to get back to the Black Hills. We actually went during Sturgis weekend, but we stayed in Custer, well away from the "festivities." It wasn't crowded at all.

 

Have a great trip!

i have some beautiful pictures from all over there, wyoming, south dakota, etc. beautiful country, don't forget to stop at the Irma's in cody, wyoming. it's really cool.

what's rc?

 Rapid City

Down in Hill City there is a quaint little restaurant called the Alpine Inn.  They serve filet mignon (a small or a large) with a baked potato, wedge of lettuce and Texas toast - very reasonable.  And then there are the desserts - fabulous desserts!!  There was a place in RC called the Chop House - it was quite good.  We haven't been back for a few years, though. 

This place in Rapid City got rave reviews on the Food Channel: http://firehousebrewing.com

  Yes - very good!

 Thanks again, ladies, for the heads up on good places to eat.  Kudos to Aashlee, luv2can and GmawMary.

luv2can -  not sure we will make it up to Cody but will make a note about the Irma Hotel just in case we do.
