We had an issue with our hot water and it was resolved promptly. We were relocated in an upgraded unit. I can say the beds in the first room were hard and uncomfortable. The rooms had everything needed in them , although there was no source for ice at this facility. Another downside was the distance to deadwood, but we made it work. Overall a good stay!

Our room had apparently been worked on prior to our stay and was not cleaned before we arrived. We ended up canceling our entire stay here.

Had a room with double beds. Mattresses were terrible, pretty sure we were laying on the box spring. Property itself is very nice, rooms were clean and well lit.

It was just a nice place to stay. Fairly even being next to the road. Clean. More than 2 coffee pods! Bonus!! I like that I can park my bike right in front of the unit. Not the Hilton. But for the price it’s pretty top notch. A few minor nit picks. Nothing significant enough to list. Would stay again.

This place is close to everything and far enough away to not be affected by the busyness that is Lead and Deadwood. I love being near the woods and mountains but where it is quiet and peaceful. This is a no frills, down to earth kind of place and I love it!

It was very echo friendly cuz there was very little hot water flow in the shower.!?!? The hair dryer didn't work. It was almost impossible to drain sink. No one to check us in and we did not notice the email prior. However, the room was quiet, charming and homing. The location was good. PS instruction would be helpful at coffee maker.
