This property is just beautiful! Great breakfast, friendly staff, and the grounds are stunning views of the mountains! Very close to Mt. Rushmore, and in the center of the Sturgis motorcycle rally if you are going up for that!

Great option near Mount Rushmore

They offered a good variety of breakfast items. The hotel layout is great and in a very peaceful location with a side view of mount rushmore. Parking was right next to the building. The staff were friendly and helpful.

This was part of a larger trip. We spent several days in the Mount Rushmore area. This hotel was very convenient to all of the local attractions. Nice view of Mount Rushmore from our balcony.

Liked: Cleanliness
Except for the Western Conifer Seed Bug infestation that appears to overwhelm the staff and maintenance group, this would have been a 4 star experience. We had multiple bugs in our room each day. Even with doors and windows closed they found a way in and made our outdoor terrace overlooking Mt Rushmore useless. Staff seems to feel if you stay there you need to accept some insects. Take that into account when booking.
