Howes Vacations from $501

Room was spacious, cleaning very comfortable. We stayed 3 nights. Spent 3 day's out hiking and Mt Rushmore and was great coming back and be able to relax.

The hotel was wonderful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Food in restaurant was good but pricey. Parking was good, and close to downtown sites, restaurants, shopping etc.

Great place

We were at the Lodge 10 years ago and were so impressed with the Lodge, the area, lodging and the staff. Happy to say nothing has changed! The most beautiful place to stay. Nature all around and the Fall colors were at their peak. The creek right by the Lodge with picnic table, chairs and hammocks was a perfect place to unwind after exploring the canyon. The staff is excellent. Hope to be back!

When we booked thru Expedia instead of direct with the hotel, we were under the impression we would get the same quality room at a lower price this did not happen! When we checked in, we were given a room that was extremely small in size, there was a very loud temporary air conditioning unit vented thru outside window with temporary ducting, when we pulled back the sheets on one of the beds the bottom sheet had dried blood spots and what appeared to be dried feces on it. We went down to check in and stated all concerns - person at desk did not believe us and stated he would have to go up and verify the situation. Upon his inspection we were immediately given the keys to another room, The interesting point was the new room had same bed arrangement as requested was much larger very clean and had no temporary air conditioning, my question for you is when we booked thru Expedia are we getting lower quality room that could not be sold thus the lower price? This is not the practice that you advertise we are led to believe we are getting the same quality room at a lower price. Please clarify your practice of booking rooms and quality and if this is the case that we get a lower quality room then in the future, we will book direct thru hotels. Again, room was filthy, small and had temporary air conditioning not the quality the hotel or Expedia should offer
