In room 214 the phone did not work: a call to the front desk was not heard from me, I could hear her, she could not hear me. Had to walk down. There was human hair(?) in the corners below the coat rack. There was a sagging ceiling tile above the door, weakened by a long ago-dried up leak. The sink drain ran so slow that brushing ones teeth was time consuming. No grab bars in the shower.

The breakfast was really good, tasty, and fresh-- much better than most other hotels bland food. The staff were very friendly. The room was good and clean, but the bed was a bit too firm for me. I just used a thick mattress pad which helped. The location is great--- close to many tourist attractions.

I am so disappointed with this hotel. I book a room base on the pictures of the room instead I got one of the worst rooms , noise, dirty carpet, window in front of the parking lot as a result no privacy. Please be aware when you make the decision to book a room.

The Roosevelt is an older facility but well taken care of. The location is right on the corner of where all the action is. Just a short drive to Rushmore. The staff was over the top friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was the best we've had in our 3 week travels out west. Fresh and plentiful. The rooms, again they're older, but well kept and clean. The Roosevelt is a very affordable option in Keystone.

We stayed four nights, and I strongly recommend this property. Not only is it exceptionally close to Mt. Rushmore, but the staff were superb and the room was spotless. A great breakfast is offered. There's some very nice dining options close by. Richard
