8/10 Very Good! (13 reviews)
The cabins are clean. The kitchen comes with essentials. However, you would think for the price you would get complimenty coffee. Its off a noisy highway.

I liked the location of the hotel. It was easy to get in and out of the parking lot. I like how it was within walking distance of down town. I would stay here again.

Not very clean carpeting was dirty and wrinkled. My socks actually got dirty from walking on carpet. The bat sitting outside the door of our room was uncomfortable. Breakfast in a bag was a bit simple. But front desk was good and location to MT Rushmore great!
