East Side Motel & Cabins

I had a quick stay for one night at this facility. Room is small and very comfortable. Everything you need wrapped up in an efficient little room. Bed was very comfortable and room very clean all at a reasonable price. I loved that outside the room were benches to sit on and just enjoy being outside. Each bench had tables with live flowering plants on it to decorate. The owner, visited 10 minutes after check in just to visit. A very nice man. Mostly I enjoyed the ease of access and simplicity of it. Thanks to Dave and his staff!

Dave's Eastside Motel and Cabins, is an unassuming small motel (we never saw the cabins), that offers inexpensive and comfortable accommodations. Our room (#3), was clean, cool (the A/C was already running), and quiet. Weather permitting, you'll likely find Dave, the proprietor, sitting outside at a corner table, chain-smoking Marlboros (there was a whole carton of them at the check-in desk), who will greet you warmly and provide you with any information you may (or may not) need. We had a few glitches during our stay. The toilet was plugged (Dave promptly fixed it), and we discovered that, with the A/C on, if you also run the fridge and the small microwave at the same time, you'll throw the breaker (which Dave also fixed). Still, it's the kind of mom-and-pop motel that's becoming a rare breed these days. And Dave clearly takes pride in having taken a property slated for demolition and turning it into a comfortable place for people to stay. We would return again.

This was my first visit to South Dakota and a friend recommended Dave’s Eastside. I was not disappointed. Our rental was clean and cozy. Everything we needed was available. Dave and Cindy were friendly and helpful. We can’t wait for our next visit to South Dakota; as we will definitely be staying here again.

The motel rooms in the traditional main unit (not cabins) have been recently renovated, smart, comfortable and with all amenities. The bedding, bath and sofa were great! The staff was friendly and helpful for us to get to know Mobridge during our half day stay.
