The setting was interesting, nestled next to cliffs so some rooms had that view which was disappointing while others had the view of Mount Rushmore, which would be the desired view, of course. It’s very close to downtown Keystone and Mount Rushmore which was helpful for tourists. The room amenities were typical, beds were a bit too firm for our liking but the room was clean and was a comfortable place to come back to each day. Continental breakfasts offered good options, hot foods, cereal, danish, and more which was nice for getting the day started. Overall, a pleasant stay.
