Cedar Pass Lodge in Badlands National Park

4 pillows per bed. Nice a clean. Only a frig and microwave so plan to bring appropriate food. The restaurant only serves burgers, Indian tacos, and chili. There are yogurt parfaits and desserts in the cooler. Burgers are frozen patties. I did like the bacon jam on them. |Room was quiet and we had plenty of hot water. It is very windy here. |Very close to some of the shorter hiking trails. |Chairs on the porch were more comfortable than those in the room. Park staff are very helpful.|You can get a meal-bar food and burgers- in Interior which is just 2 miles from the cabins.|We stayed 3 nights. Only needed 2 nights to see what we came for-all the overooks and the small trails and hiked 2miles of longer trails.

We truly loved it here. We had a stand alone cabin (some are like a country townhouse with shared porches) and it was large, with comfortable beds, refrigerator and microwave. TV worked and we had wifi, but we spent most of our time checking out the amazing views of the Badlands and you are located in a great spot to branch out. The Visitor's Center is next door, very informative with rangers helpful regarding hikes. The staff at Cedar Pass Lodge, especially Abi, were so welcoming, helpful regarding where to go to see a great sunrise and amazing sunset. We had an almost 50 degree temperature difference: sunny and 80s, then hail and thunderstorms, then cold and windy. All contributed to the unique location. You are close to the hiking areas: Castle, Medicine Root and Notch. Catch the sunrise at the Door location and then hike the Notch before too many people go. (This is the hike with the steep ladder). |The food was ok, not great, not terrible. The service was fine and the Indian tacos (vegetarian and meat ) were welcome meals after a full day in the Badlands. The location is quiet and restful. The main area has a great gift shop , as does the Visitor Center. I think this is a great place for couples, older adults and families.

Unbeatable location inside Badlands park. Cabins are lovely, and beds are super comfy (and huge). Views from the cabins are stunning. This would be a 5 star review but for the fact the cabins have kitchenette (microwave, fridge) but no crockery, cutlery, bottle opener etc. Not signalled on their website so we (and others) were caught out- surprising as the cabins are otherwise plush and well equipped. Bring your own!

The cabins are immaculate. So comfortable and clean. There was a tv (we never turned it on) small fridge and microwave provided , as well as daily coffee. The wi-fi worked well even though we were a bit away from the main building. Very quiet and peaceful. |The beds and pillows were very nice and we slept quite well. ||The bathrooms were large and had very nice products (spa-like shampoo, conditioner, etc.). The shower was good and plenty of hot water. ||The staff was incredibly accommodating and check in was easy and efficient. ||The location is perfect. I was able to go out hiking and doing my photography early in the morning and again in the evening. The main visitor center is a mini-museum and great educational center. We enjoyed the fossil prep lab very much. The staff there was fantastic. ||The restaurant was exactly what I expected. No fancy food but good food and good portions. Otherwise plan on bringing your own food or driving out of the local area to eat. We did drive to Wall one day and there are some choices there for dining. ||This is not a fancy hotel if that’s what you require. It is a very comfortable and clean cabin in a national park. That being said, the place exceeded our expectations and I cannot wait to return.

THis IS FOR THE RESTAURANT. We ordered 4 meals. 2 bowls of chili, 2 bison burgers . $80. WORST food ever. The chili was cold. The burgers were tepid, and the cheese wasn't even melted. I swear they took these burgers out of the freezer threw them in the microwave and didn't bother to check if they were warm. The taste wasn't good either. I've had bison, it's good. This was tasteless and dry - for $20!

We booked the newly renovated 2BR Cabin 100, with a full kitchen. This Cabin had everything you could need for a longer stay. Spacious and comfy, it was a fantastic home base for our Badlands exploration (Mom, dad, two adult sons).

I stopped at the restaurant and gift shop. The gift shop is pricy. $40 for T-shirts. But cute stuff. The restaurant wasn't great. They close at 7p.m. and we arrived at 5:45p.m. the fryer was already down to be cleaned for the night, so we couldn't order chicken tenders. It was $100 for 4 people. It's in the badlands and the only place around for food. We did not stay in the cabins, but they did look nice from the outside.

Comfortable clean rustic rooms. Porch with a nice view of the Badlands. Central location to hiking and driving loop. Service was efficient, limited to checking in and out. DO NOT EAT HERE.
