Clean except the A/C unit had lots of mold- not good for asthma, the window screen was torn in two places so could not use because of flying bugs. TV reception was lost one evening - staff repaired immediately. Staff friendly, service oriented great staff!! Overall good place unless mold is a concern in A/C - the only reason not a 5 star. The onsite restaurant was very good for a light breakfast. We had yogurt bowl with very fresh berries twice - excellent!
Flock of turkeys visited!

Very cute but could be better

Very very cute inn. Free laundry Comfortable and beautiful room but smaller than regular room size Average staff friendliness Free water( we filled a lot of our bottles for our road trip) The Feel Good Cafe was above average- creative but could be tastier. But definitely healthy!! FYI we tried the Uzbekian drink but it turned out to be disappointing. Egg & Ham croissant and Banana split were good. Raspberry milk and Mocha was pretty good too Overall very nice decor! But could make slight improvements in some places which I guess is reflected in its lower prices than nearby hotels. Still recommend it, if you aren’t looking for luxury!

We used the Bavarian Inn as our base for exploring Custer Park, Mt Rushmore, and more. The facilities were very clean, comfortable, and beautiful with all the flowers. It really did feel like a little hotel in Europe. The free laundry was greatly appreciated. We would definitely return if we are in the area again!
