"The staff here are super friendly and kind. The complimentary breakfast was adequate, but not extravagent. We stayed in the least expensive room type and it did have a bit of a mildew smell and both of the bedside lamps did not work, but it was clean and felt safe. Overall, I'd say it was decent for the price and SUPER CLOSE to Mount Rushmore and easy walking distance from lots of great Keystone activities, shops and food. I would definitely stay there again, all things considered."
