Great location. Suites were huge! Didn’t really have an outdoor seating area which was a bummer for us. Older hotel but kept up nicely. Breakfast was not great but I’m noticing most hotels these days don’t have good breakfast.

Older hotel, water for shower never really got warm and it dripped all night. Room was a good size, plenty of room for all of us. Breakfast was not great. Juice and coffee were very watered down. Sausage not even warm.

Property was a rustic feeling like old fashioned motel. Staff was polite and clean rooms, beds were clean but mattresses not most restful after a long active day in black hills area. Hotel overall has had some visible upgrades while keeping its rustic charm but room we stayed in didn’t have upgrades. We had shower with faucet difficulties and not screen in window that could open if wanted but it had not screen . Bathrooms Need upgrade(our bathroom tube specifically was hard to work shower-maintenance issue). New mattresses and a floor that is not carpet(wood laminate is better) would make it feel fresh and allow for longer life. Over all we had a wonderful trip and room served its purpose of a place to sleep between activities and its location was perfect and close to where we wanted to be. It’s a good property just not going to be for anyone looking for luxury or high end feeling.

My husband and I stayed here a couple of nights on vacation. The location is great, close to Mt. Rushmore and the highways to Custer State Park and many other black hills locations. Room was really clean and spacious. We had a jetted tub in our room, so didn’t use the pool or hotel hot tub, but the area looked really nice. The breakfast was good. We would definitely stay there again.
