I booked the Best Western Golden Spike an hour before check in without having read many reviews.I was looking for a property with a pool and hot breakfast in Hill City. The lobby was welcoming and the front desk staff very friendly.Our room seemed great at first but then I started noticing things. One of the chairs was broken and the other wobbly. There are no center nightstand outlets for charging devices (1 outlet has the alarm clock and the lamp) and the closest outlets require a long charging cord.The beds were firm but very clean. I was pleased with the temperature in the room and the AC/heat unit worked well (somewhat noisy).The bathroom is smaller than my tiny camper bathroom. In general, I though the bathroom was old and rusty and I was actually happy to not use the shower. The water was hot with decent water pressure (I checked after reading a bunch of reviews).We attempted to go to the pool but the outside pool was really cold.The inside pool was overchlorinated.The hot tub was murky, small and I don't think the jets worked.The pet area and outdoor seating areas looked nice. Other reviewers mention the door noises.When people are inconsiderate, they just let the door slam without regard for other guests.This is definitely a case of bad manners and not a hotel problem.I was really happy with the breakfast. The biscuits and gravy and waffles were a great start to the day.I would consider staying here again despite the pool and bathroom if the price was right. Maybe

Awful.

Do you enjoy hearing exactly what's happening in every room as you walk down the hall? How about every toilet flush in the room next door? Do you enjoy chancing ripping your sleeve every time you brush against a doorframe? How about having to distract staff from their phones long enough to check you in, or help with simple requests? And doing all of this in an outdated, dingy setting? If all of this sounds like the ideal vacation, then this is the place for you! Otherwise, look elsewhere.

The staff was indifferent, no smiling, no welcome to The Golden Spike nothing. I think we were in a newly painted/ remodeled room, but it was just uncomfortable, the beds were HORRIBLE!! The couch was just as HORRIBLE. Breakfast was a waste, the cleaning staff was rude and disrepectful. I do not recommend this property at all

I loved the idea of being in a charming small town for our trip to the Black Hills - so we found this. Hill City is a great location and a beautiful drive to all the local attractions. The room was a basic room - nothing fancy. The toilet struggled to flush. Our double pane window was so clouded with moisture we couldn't see outside. The inside pool was ice cold - the hot tub water was ... off. And the beds need to be upgraded. We were in tears laughing how awful they were. Breakfast bar was decently, some staff were friendlier than others. Basically, if you need a place to stay while exploring the area- it works. If you're looking to spend any time in the hotel - find a different one.
