I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was conveniently located near downtown shops and restaurants. The service was friendly and attentive when I asked for help with local sightseeing. However, the room had a strong musty smell, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times. Although the dining options were limited, I found a nearby diner that was great for breakfast and lunch. Overall, it was decent value for the price, but the amenities could use some updating.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is great, offering stunning views and convenient access to local attractions, especially Mount Rushmore. The rooms could use a bit of attention, as they felt somewhat unkempt upon arrival. While the price was reasonable, the service left a lot to be desired, especially when it came to housekeeping. Overall, there are some nice aspects, but there's definitely room for improvement.
