This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It’s family-owned and feels like a bed and breakfast. The staff is amazing, the rooms are very clean and lovely, and breakfast is provided on china with stainless flatware and real coffee mugs. I highly recommend it :)

Having the full breakfast available every morning was great. The only really bad thing was that we could not use the TV because it was very difficult to use because none of our regular stations were available to us, and it was some kind of smart tv, with a lot of Internet, which we are not familiar with how to use. Very frustrating! The manager did try to help us with this, but only once, and it was very hard to understand and remember how to use this very complicated TV.

We really enjoyed our stay at Roosevelt Inn! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We love the gazebo. The breakfast was very good! There was a different menu each morning. We loved all of Roosevelt’s quotes that were in the elevator and the halls of the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel! The location was perfect. It was close to Mount Rushmore, custard State Park. Spearfish Canyon is an hour drive. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel!

This is easily the best place I've ever stayed. Easy, friendly check-in. Great breakfasts both days we was there. Walking distance to numerous restaurants and touristy attractions (and just a few miles from Mt Rushmore). Game room with free games and an indoor pool. If I'm ever in the Keystone SD area again, this is where you'll find me.
