Top Keystone Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Didn't have any problems here. Was a pleasant experience from start to finish"

Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Atención muy buena, el desayuno muy rico, solo un pequeño detalle en el Baño de mi habitación, pero de ahí en fuera todo muy bien!"

Foothills Inn

8/10 Good

"decent hotel, interior a bit dated, but clean. This is the most quiet hotel I have ever stayed in while in the U.S.A. This was a huge plus! breakfast was good."

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."
