Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The layout of the rooms was not designed very well. But it was very clean. Small TV compared to other hotels we've stay. And it was positioned a very odd place. This was a suite and maybe that is why I wasn't impressed as much. It had a kitchenette for folks who want a longer stay. We were just there for the night. No ice machines because they had fridges with auto ice cube dispenser. Problem was the ice was "old" and the freezer had an odor. Although it wouldn't be my first choice I think it would be nice for families that want a longer stay.

Maybe I’m pickier than most but I do expect the garbage from past guests to be out of the room when I check in- I don’t care of you don’t clean the room every day if I stay more than 1 night but at least come on and give fresh towels and take out the garbage. The ONLY redeeming quality is the front desk staff. Courteous and professional

The place was well maintained, clean and the rooms were very large. The place is just outside of town, so there is no where you can walk to. BUT everything was a short drive away. Very close to Mount Rushmore and the Bad lands. Because we had a suit with a full size refig, dishwasher, sink and a stove they never made up our room. I guess that was expected? The breakfast was basic with hard boiled eggs, bread, bagels, fruit, juice, coffee, tea. I would recommeng.
