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.
Heather, 1-night trip

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 The building is a little outdated, but we didn't have any issues.

Hiding in plain sight

Lovely place. we wished would have planned more time here. Fun little aera with a strip mall with Ice-cream shop subway and a lot more. great view of Mount Rushmore and just a couple minuets from the park king suit was larger and nicer than expected for the price. I would plan on a couple of days if I had to do it over. it's very comfortable.

Great location

Great location. Close to everything. Got a 1 bed because 2 beds were sold out. But had a sofa bed. Main bed was comfortable. Had a view of a rock cliff. Sofa bed was old but decent. Furniture is old but also decent. Breakfast was ok. Stayed multiple nights and each breakfast was same with biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage. Would recommend this place.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything’s pretty good The pictures of the rooms online are outdated a little look much better in line. Parking was a problem. Property needs a little upgrade
Alvin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Older hotel, water for shower never really got warm and it dripped all night. Room was a good size, plenty of room for all of us. Breakfast was not great. Juice and coffee were very watered down. Sausage not even warm.

6/10 Good

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

6/10 Good

We stayed in one of the family suites. It was right by the pool and it was very humid in the room and hallway throughout the whole stay. The room was very large and nice for 2 adults and 2 teenage kids. The pool was fine and hot tub would foam up really bad anytime the jets were on and was very hot. The breakfast options were the same each day and not very good, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal and some other bread and muffins. Over all hotel needs some upgrading but if your looking for a place to sleep close to Rushmore it will Work.
Dennis, 4-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.
