Good place to stay

Our stay was wonderful as always. The staff is great, the beds are comfortable, it’s located within walking distance of everything in town. And only 2-3 miles from Mount Rushmore. It’s also off the Main Street so not a lot of traffic noise.

Great place to stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Their continental breakfast was good. They have a pool and hot tub. The chemicals in the pool were a bit much. It is close to the shops. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay, staff was friendly, extremely helpful. Location was awesome. Great little coffee shop across the street shopping right next-door. Quick little drive or walk to a bunch of touristy shops. Extremely close to Mount Rushmore. For the price it was amazing.

Mount Rushmore

We absolutely loved our room. My wife spent a morning relaxing in the room while I got out an explored the black hills. I love the separate areas of bedroom and living area.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The service was great. We stayed in a suite, and the pull out was missing sheets, so they brought some to us. The shower was just okay, but overall, we were pleased.

The staff was very friendly. Even though we saw lots of kids, the evenings were quiet. The building is a little outdated, but we didn't have any issues.

You get what you pay for!

This is a cheap hotel and you get what you pay for. The rooms both for a king and double queen were outdated, dirty carpet, area around the sinks were dirty, and the beds likely haven’t been replaced for 10-15 years. The staff was very courteous and the location was awesome!
Jenni, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a nice enough place. But the carpet in my room was stained and dirty and I felt like I had to wear socks or sandals when walking around in my room.
Peter, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice to have refrigerator in the room but it was on the floor and hard to access for senior citizens. Room was very quiet 😃. Continental breakfast was good, but a 6:30 start time would be appreciated
Jay, 3-night trip

Updates needed

Lobby and breakfast area were clean and up to date. Room wasn't old stained carpets low shower head. I'm 6' 2" had to bend way over to shower. My wife is5' 6" and had to bend over.was an issue to get open. Breakfast was good.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

No window room

The room was nice but it was an inside room that did not offer any window to the outside. The only window was to the hallway.
Justin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location & great staff

This hotel is a perfect location if you’re doing the obvious stuff (Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, Custer, etc.). The room was clean and totally fine. The drawback to the room for us was really we didn’t like the pillows. They were too soft for my liking. Additionally, the tv in the room is super small. But, are you really staying at the hotel to watch TV? I HOPE NOT! The included breakfast was good overall as well. The people who worked the desk each time I stopped by were GREAT as well. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! We didn’t eat at any of the restaurants near the hotel but there are a few as well. It’s a super short drive up to Mt. Rushmore as well. Great place
Brock, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We chose this property mainly for the price. Other hotels in the area were more expensive and we planned to visit some of the national parks nearby. We stayed 2 nights here. We were surprised by just how large our room was , but the view was of the huge chain link covered rock wall outside just a few feet from the window. The room was very comfortable except for the couch. It really should be replaced. Bathroom was huge and everything worked except the sink drain. Breakfast each morning was good. The locations was very convenient for us. The indoor pool area looked really nice, but we didn't use it.
Lisa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Just ok

So we had 2 rooms for 3 nights and the beds were comfy… the pillows were way too soft and each bed only had 2, so we were chasing them all night. The showers never had hot water… Luke warm at best. The hot tub was closed, the door knobs were loose and hard to open sometimes. Overall it was just ok… would not stay again.
