Top Keystone Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"nice room clean, good breakfast"

Foothills Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 4 days and it was awesome. This place should be a 5 star hotel compared to other hotels that are 5 star. The amazing staff were very friendly, the pool is not luxury with slides but it was a perfect fit for my kids. The rooms are very spacious, not luxury but they were great. Breakfast is a normal one, not continental but served the basics. I will stay here again because the price for the stay was perfect. Rooms are very cleaned"

Rushmore Express Keystone

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable, and everything worked as it should. You need an extension cord to use the coffee maker. You had to be a short person or be able to get down on your knees to use the refrigerator because it sat on the floor. One parking spot per room? They had vacancies but no parking; something wasn't right. Overall, not a bad place."

Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and well kept."

Comfort Inn & Suites Mt. Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"
