Search hotels in Newcastle, WY

Newcastle was chosen as it's an hour away from Mt. Rushmore and was our next day's stop after having many travel days. We drove from Billings Montana and this was just the right number of hours to feel rested enough to continue on to Mt. Rushmore the next morning. There are a few restaurants here and we ate at Isabella's that had great menu options. The town is small that, depending on where you stay, you could walk to town for a meal. A grocery store offers a variety of items and be sure to check the closing time as the night we were there, it closed at 8 pm.

Newcastle lacks spirit. You can tell this small town is tired and worn out based off the gas stations and places to eat. I did enjoy where I stayed however it was an older motel (well taken care of). The town only has one "new" hotel but they make sure to take advantage of that by charging way more than a Holiday Inn. I hope this town's economy turns around and they are able to put some care back into it. Felt sad driving through it. Small towns are a tough situation but at least the locals were friendly!
