Nice stay close to Mount Rushmore
Hotel was very close to Mount Rushmore. We visited twice since our parking pass was good for a year. Free breakfast with eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy among other things like yogurt, cereal, and fruit. Check in was easy, room was clean, staff was very friendly. We had a stink bug and wasp that found their way into our room, but we disposed of them. I suspect this is because the room opens to outdoors. Our stay was very nice.

2/10 Poor

The toilet was 6" from the wall and had a grab bar taking some of that space. The mattress was worn out. We slept with our feet above our heads. Breakfast was good for a hotel.

Nice clean property. Loved the black washcloths for makeup removal! No coffee pods in our room-only complaint.

Location was good although it was weird how our gps gave a complicated direction to make a simple left turn but instead lead us to go through iron mountain switchbacks. And it was at night so it was a bit agonizing drive in the dark. Other than that, staff and service was good. Breakfast was decent. Ample parking.

We had a family suite that was in the building interior. Although very spacious it relies on the buildings heating and cooling rather than a stand alone ac/heat unit. Unfortunately, the first room we had was experiencing a power issue and the room we were moved to was quite cold and heat wasn’t an option for the time of year we were there. After turning off the AC it took all night to warm up. All the staff we encountered were very friendly!

Great hotel!
Don’t let the outside fool you - the inside is great! We weren’t sure what we were getting into when we arrived and saw a dated looking building. We had booked a standard room but had the option to upgrade to a suite. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly, she showed us the standard room and the suite. The standard room looked clean and comfortable, though a bit small. The suite didn’t cost much extra so we went with it, and it was definitely luxury like the sign says! The hotel is within walking distance of the main attractions in Keystone too. So glad we gave this hotel a chance!

It was a nice place, however the bed and pillows were a lot harder than i was expecting or like. The bathtub faucet dripped no matter how many times you try to shut it off. Staff was very friendly and helpful
