An older hotel with a basic breakfast. The stay was quiet and comfortable while we explored some of the black hills. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Average place..

It was an average stay, the place was not extremely anything. Central to the town, close to many things, the lady who checked us in was nice. Older place.

The staff was helpful and friendly. Being here during Bike Week can cause a certain level of stress for staff. The young lady who checked us in was calm and courteous each time we walked past the front desk.

They could use a bigger parking lot. There was only one handicap spot and no lines by it for a wheelchair to get out. Other than that, we had a great stay. Comfy beds! Friendly staff.

Very good place in a warm little town.

We knew this hotel for previous stays. Very good, but the gym is still minimum, not worthy, and even one machine (of two) is broken. And the pool is not any more, despite it figures in the propaganda. The breakfast is good, the beds are nice and the employees are EXTRA kind.

Very small bathroom and the carpet was not clean especially in the hall and on the stairs. FYI there isn’t an elevator. The check in person was great! Room was as clean as it could be since it was an older hotel. Love the area and the price

The room was clean, staff friendly, good location. My only complaints are: the smoke detector in the hallway constantly chirped because of low batteries and the exhaust fan in our room's bathroom was horrendously noisy and sounded like it was on its last leg.

Hotel was clean and rooms comfortable. My only real issue was with the EV chargers. Both chargers had issues. I could get the Tesla charger work at all. The other charger worked intermittently. The chargers were the primary reason I chose this hotel, so that was kind of a bust.

The breakfast waffles are not the kind you make yourself; they are the dry, tasteless toaster version. The rest of the breakfast offerings were minimal. In the room, the air conditioner is designed to be at floor level. Instead it is placed above your head, with the controls facing the ceiling. To adjust, you need to stand on a chair and use a flashlight. I never understand why breakfast must close at exactly 9 am when the check out isn't until 11. We're on vacation; no need to get up early. Would not stay there again.
