"Hotel was nice but definitely dated. Carpet was coming up in the elevator. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hot tub was closed for the duration of our 5 night stay. Breakfast was decent. For the five mornings we had breakfast, they had eggs only twice. The days they did not have eggs, there were biscuits and gravy. Every day, there was sausage, bread for toast with spreads, some form of prepackaged baked item (mini donuts, muffins, etc), cereal, milk, and yogurt. Coffee and juice. Basic rooms had outdoor doors, suites had interior doors. Decent parking but limited and may be difficult to park if visiting in peak season."

10/10 Excellent
"I intentionally booked a room here because its location is relatively close to Mt. Rushmore, which is about 6 miles away. Situated right on the Keystone boardwalk, the 1880 Train is a 5 minute walk. Plus, with a car rental, all the places I wanted to visit were within 15 - 35 minutes drive - Crazy Horse, Hill City, Custer and Custer State Park, Norbeck Scenic Loop, etc. Bed was very comfortable. Different types of pillows from very soft to hard. Plenty of room within the room. Microwave and small fridge. Crushed ice machine on ground level. Large mirror over sink and enough counter space around sink. Shower is a bit dated with straight curtain rod. Appreciated the rubber lines in the tub shower to prevent slipping. I did not notice whether there was an elevator to get to the 2nd and 3rd floor rooms. My room was on 2nd floor so I used the stairs to carry up/down my carry-on luggage. Parking right in front of rooms. The overflow parking was right next door if you arrive late while staying there. The front desk issues you a parking sign when you check in and you leave it on your car's dash. I used the rocking chairs on the front porch twice to just chill. Very relaxing. Jason manned the front desk when I checked in. Very friendly and helpful. I liked staying here. I also felt safe as a solo traveller."
