Great stay! Huge family suite
We had a huge family suite that was clean and comfortable! We extended another night because it was a great stay and at the quiet end of town. The only negatives were having the same exact breakfast all 3 days and the hot tub was closed "for maintenance" during our entire stay. We would definitely stay again!

Good place to stay
Our stay was wonderful as always. The staff is great, the beds are comfortable, it’s located within walking distance of everything in town. And only 2-3 miles from Mount Rushmore. It’s also off the Main Street so not a lot of traffic noise.

Room was spacious and comfortable. The pool was nice. The only issue was that the front desk was closed after 10pm so we were unable to get a blanket or anything else we may have needed after then.

Wonderful stay, staff was friendly, extremely helpful. Location was awesome. Great little coffee shop across the street shopping right next-door. Quick little drive or walk to a bunch of touristy shops. Extremely close to Mount Rushmore. For the price it was amazing.
