Fantastic
This hotel is in the most wonderful setting and we could see Mt. Rushmore from our balcony. It offered us a few days to relax and chill. It’s ideally located for sightseeing around the area. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was tasty.

I don’t typically write reviews but we really enjoyed our stay here. The property was very clean and the staff were fantastic. Breakfast was more than your typical continental hotel breakfast, nice to have on site before heading out for a busy day. The property is off in the hills/wooded area and while feeling secluded, it is only a 10 minute walk/drive into Keystone/surrounding area. The balcony was nice and included comfortable chairs/table. We could also see the profile of Mount Rushmore in the distance! We will stay here again if in the area and highly recommend to others.
