Don't worry, there are lots of good hotels and lots of cheap ones. Finding a decent place should not be a problem.
For starters, there is Mt. Rushmore. I never wanted to go there until my wife made me go see it and now we go every year. The scenery and wildlife around there are incredible.
Once you do that, I'd suggest a visit to Custer State Park. Pretty much you drive through it and see wildlife like you've probably never seen before. The place is teeming with bison, deer, pronghorn, and stuff like that.
From there, I'd take the drive over to Devil's Tower. The traffic is light and it's an easy drive through some nice country. That one is kind of optional but well worth the visit. If you don't want to do that, just bumming around the Mt. Rushmore area you'll find plenty to do.
I thought the Black Hills would be totally lame but really, you can have a ton of fun there.
