Friendly front desk staff, nice location. Simple breakfast, but enough for us. Room is spacious. Towels are very thin, and old, even they are clean, but look like dirty.

This was a great location for visiting Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park and Crazy Horse! It was very reasonably priced, with adequate accommodations. I would suggest some deep cleaning of the bathroom corners and carpet edges. The hot breakfast items were good, but limited. I would consider staying again.

Apple map took us on trail across the Mount Rushmore monument before leading us back to the hotel (even though we had initially already driven past it) but it makes for a memorable trip trying to get to the hotel in the middle of the night!

A bit noisy but overall good location. Glad to find a reasonably priced property so near Mount Rushmore. Parking available but a bit of a hassle when not able to park near my unit when returning after the night show at Rushmore. Staff helpful, efficient and friendly. Breakfast good. Shower barely warm and difficult to turn on.
