If you're looking for a family motel in the Black Hills that won't stretch your budget, Hot Springs Hills Inn is a good place to start. We're a family-run motel at 640 South 6th Street in Hot Springs, with 35 clean rooms, a heated outdoor pool, complimentary mini golf, and free continental breakfast. Kids 12 and under stay free, which makes it easier to plan a trip when you're traveling with the whole crew.

How much can a family really save here?

Travel adds up fast, especially with kids along. That's why we keep things simple and fair. Kids 12 and under stay free in the same room as their parents, so you're not paying extra just because the little ones came along.

Every room comes with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, which means you can keep snacks on hand, warm up leftovers, and skip a few restaurant stops. Free continental breakfast in the morning gets everyone fed before you head out for the day, and free Wi-Fi and guest laundry help on longer trips. Small things, but they add up over a week.

What keeps the kids happy while you're here?

We know a good trip depends a lot on whether the kids are having fun, so we've got a couple of things right on the property.

The outdoor heated pool is a favorite after a long day of driving and sightseeing. It's a nice way to burn off some energy before dinner, and the water stays comfortable even when the evening cools down.

We also offer complimentary mini golf, so there's no extra ticket to buy or drive to make. The kids can play a round while you relax, and it's the kind of low-key fun that works for just about any age. Between the pool and the mini golf, most families find they don't have to go far to keep everyone entertained.

For the grown-ups, the rooms have new pillow-top mattresses and recliners, so you can actually rest up for tomorrow. A good night's sleep goes a long way when you've got a full day of hiking or exploring ahead.

What can families do nearby from here?

One of the best parts about staying in Hot Springs is how close you are to so much. We're a short drive from Wind Cave National Park, where the ranger-led cave tours are a hit with kids and adults alike, and the prairie above the caves is home to bison and prairie dogs.

The Mammoth Site is right here in town, and it's one of the most interesting stops in the area. It's an active dig where you can see real mammoth fossils in the ground, with tours that kids find pretty amazing.

Closer to the motel, the Fall River trail runs through town and is great for a walk or bike ride. We're within walking distance of the trail, so you can stretch your legs without getting back in the car. From here you're also well positioned for day trips deeper into the Black Hills, whether that's Custer State Park, the caves, or the bigger monuments up north.
