The rates are good at this hotel. it’s a bare minimum hotel. No bells and whistles . the breakfast closed early . Extending it a half an hour would be helpful especially when you have kids. Our room faced a dirt road and there were many pieces of machinery and a workshop. it was not very quiet. It is located in a good location to visit all of the attractions.

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.

The room was clean, bed was comfortable. I my two things to be picky about: only 2 pillows per bed, and the sink and vanity were outside the bathroom.
