The 5 stars is for the front desk lady in the morning. She's warm and welcoming. I hesitated about the tunnels at Needles Highway but with her warm assurance, I drove one of the memorable drives in Custer State Park. Needles Eye wasn't as narrow as I thought. The motel and the room were dated. I personally don't like beds with those old school coverings. That said, I would stay there again. The motel is in a very convenient location; virtually at the foot of Mount Rushmore. Restaurants are within walking distance but shops close early including the gas station store next door.

Parking was difficult because we arrived late and the parking although designated for the hotel was shared by a bar/restaurant next door. Needed to have a way for security to ask guests or the bar to please move their cars for guests of the hotel. Other parking options were across the street. Not helpful if you're disabled. Need more ada rooms.

Staff were nice, hotel and rooms are clean and comfortable but dated. Perfect location for Keystone attractions. No breakfast options, which would have been appreciated. Parking however a nightmare. People parking in front of our room, my 84 year old mother with a walker would have to walk a ways to our room, there are not enough parking. Store and laundry are close by, convenient. There is indeed a view of Mount Rushmore from the parking lot and upper floors
