Great room, clean and comfortable beds- a well stocked breakfast. But the real reason you are there is the proximity to all the black hills have to offer with a waterpark for the hot afternoon “cool downs”. Stayed for three days and my kids would have loved to extend. Rushmore, Custer state park, badlands, crazy horse, and the minute man museum all within an hour of the location.

We stayed here for three nights. The hotel was very nice and the breakfast was delicious and so great to start our busy days with good food in our stomach. We used the laundry facilities and that worked great. The water park was SO fun. The kids had such a great time. My only complaint was the water park was really busy since there are other hotels connected to it. It was hard to find a spot to sit and fresh towels. The kids didn't seem to care though.
