Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was close to the attractions we wanted to visit, allowing us to easily park our motorcycles close to our room. The rooms were modern and clean with fresh towels, although they were a bit smaller than expected. The service was attentive and friendly, providing helpful tips on local attractions. The location was convenient to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer State Park. The dining options were limited, with a diner a short walk away. Overall, it offered good value for a night or two stay.
I had a great experience at the hotel! The rooms were comfy and quiet with all the essential amenities like a nice TV, small microwave, coffee pot, and a tiny fridge. The staff was super friendly and even helped me with a last-minute booking change. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining options were limited, and I had to find breakfast elsewhere.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and quiet, perfect for a family suite with three beds, but unfortunately, it was very noisy during my stay. The staff were friendly, but there were some issues with check-in. The location was great for visiting attractions in the Black Hills, but the dining options could have been better.
