My wife and I stayed a couple of nights in June 2024. We were able to drive up the hill to Mt Rushmore in about 7 minutes! We also visited Custer State Park on a day trip while in the area. In the evenings, we were able to walk about 200 meters to a little strip shopping center with several places to eat and drink. The room at the motel was clean and in good shape. They had a free hot breakfast with a good variety of choices. It was a bit of a walk to the main street strip in town, but certainly doable.

Check in was good but the hotel just opened for the season and do not have correct information on their website. We did not have access to the pool, hot tub or any of those amenities. The breakfast they served appeared to be day old muffins and coffee, not the continental breakfast advertised. The room was perfect but the beds were not the best. The mattresses slumped in the middle causing horrible sleeping conditions.

Beautiful king suite with fireplace in sitting area. Nive size bedroom, no view, but nice. Hallway carpets were clean, room carpets were clean. people using pool, but we did not. Convenient to Keystone town and easy, quick drive to monument. Breakfast changed daily with normal choices, breakfast staff was fun and engaging with travelers and conversation. Laundry area was nice with two washers and dryers. Very convenient for a long trip. Parking a bit of a challenge if you were out late at monument lighting. Very nice stay.

In our room the shower hot/cold knob was so loose it was hard to regulate the temp, the roommate and I fixed it. Just a loose screw, when I went to ask for a ice bucket at the front desk I was told there are no extras, as the one in our room was falling apart. But staff was amazing.
