The bed have real mattresses, not cheap foam junk. Kudos to them for this!! The toilet in our room did not function properly and was leaking water during our entire stay. Also, the toilets seemed to be sized for a Barbie Toy House. In my 70 years, I've never seen a toilet that small before. The bowl and seat are microscopic in size, extremely low to the floor. I'm not exaggerating. There isn't enough room to sit on the john and do what needs to be done, if you get my drift. The breakfast was good, but seating, no matter what time you got there, was always at a premium. They need to remove the love seat and couch from the breakfast/office areas and replace them with additional tables and chairs.

I didn't learn his name unfortunately, but the man running the place was amazing. He was very attentive and kind, as I wasn't sure I would make it before the front desk closed. He waited until I got there a few minutes after ten, and even gave me a call right after I left the office to remind me about breakfast in the morning. I appreciated his care and professionalism very much! The place was also spotless, which seems hard to find these days. I drive through Rapid a lot and I definitely plan to stay there again.

We thought the owner very nice and extended herself to make sure everyone was comfortable. Everything was very clean and convenient. The only thing that impacted our stay was that the bed was not as soft as we needed.

Very thoughful staff
The hotel is very nice, small and perched on a hill right on the main road to mt. Rushmore. I was going to arrive very late, the manager called me to arrange for me to get my room key out of a key box. They were very thoughful.
