Pros

Convenient 1 mile distance to Downtown Rapid City and Art Alley

“Lazy U Motel strikes me as a genuine slice of classic Americana, and its proximity to both local dining and I-90 makes it a practical base for exploring Rapid City and the surrounding area. The friendly manager seems committed to maintaining a clean and welcoming environment, which is always a plus. For travelers who appreciate a cool '50s vibe and easy access to both urban conveniences and nearby Wilderness Park, this could be a smart choice.”
