Great option near Mount Rushmore

They offered a good variety of breakfast items. The hotel layout is great and in a very peaceful location with a side view of mount rushmore. Parking was right next to the building. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Except for the Western Conifer Seed Bug infestation that appears to overwhelm the staff and maintenance group, this would have been a 4 star experience. We had multiple bugs in our room each day. Even with doors and windows closed they found a way in and made our outdoor terrace overlooking Mt Rushmore useless. Staff seems to feel if you stay there you need to accept some insects. Take that into account when booking.
