Nice stay close to Mount Rushmore

Hotel was very close to Mount Rushmore. We visited twice since our parking pass was good for a year. Free breakfast with eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy among other things like yogurt, cereal, and fruit. Check in was easy, room was clean, staff was very friendly. We had a stink bug and wasp that found their way into our room, but we disposed of them. I suspect this is because the room opens to outdoors. Our stay was very nice.
