We loved the area. The location to Mt. Rushmore and other area attractions was perfect. The room was wonderful, the view amazing (especially being able to see Mt. Rushmore from our room), and the solitude of the area with wildlife was above what we expected. Staff members were polite, helpful, and courteous. We would definitely return.

Quiet and comfortable. Enjoyed the patio and the cool mountain air and views. The fire pit was a delightful surprise.

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.
