Correcte mais sans plus
Chambre propre. Hotel très bien situé pour le mount Rushmore et Custer.
Le petit-déjeuner est peu fourni. On en est loin du petit déjeuner continental.

Rooms were very spacious and clean only thing I would’ve changed was it smelled like cury in the room( can’t blame the hotel that’s a hard smell to get rid of)

Great place to stay
What a perfect place to stay. The managers worked to help me with a coffee table so I could set up my computer. The room was large, clean, and the kitchen was just great to fix meals. Anytime I had a question and need that took care of it. 100% satisfied- 7 day stay. Good location to get all around the Black Hills, Custer State Park, and the caves.

Good Location
It was a central location to all my South Dakota stops (Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park and RAP airport). It can use some updating (sound proofing in the walls and new mattresses/pillows), but the staff was friendly.

Wonderful Get-away
My father and I stayed in a couple of the lodge rooms for a few days while site-seeing around Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials. I loved the comfy/cozy vibe, as this location is away from the standard "Hotel Row". The beds were a little hard and the desk chair was great for a quick e-mail check - but not for an extended "workcation" type stay. This was perfect for us, since my dad is retired, and I was avoiding my computer :) The neighborhood restaurant was also wonderful, so after a day of sight-seeing, we could take a rest, then go get a good meal without having to drive into the city.

Perfect central location.
Had a great time. Rooms are comfortable, staff are very friendly. Breakfast is basic but some cereal and toast was perfect before a busy morning of hiking. Coffee was Great. If you need some protein they sell some Jimmy bean breakfast sandwiches that you can microwave.
I would highly recommend booking a gold mining tour with Rattle Snake Randy. We had a great morning with him and found some gold.

Not all at one location.
I just feel it needs to be stressed that the business is at 2 locations, and it is not necessarily an easy walk or drive for that matter to get from 1 to the other. There is also no elevator to reach the 2nd floor at the "Hotel". Otherwise a great stay in a very clean, slightly dated room. I would stay again (But ask to be on the 1st floor).

Okay. You get what you pay for.
You have to request the room to be serviced.
