"We found this place quite good for our needs. It was a decent budget hotel with the added benefit of a basic breakfast available, which is rare these days in budget accommodation. The staff were very helpful, and the location is just within walking distance of town, though better off driving. We would be happy to stay here again."

Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good
"Nice parking arrangement, which is good as elevators were Not working. Breakfast was acceptable. Walk up the driveway is do-able for out of shape EVEN AFTER WALKING DOWN THE STRIP & BACK. View is amazing - worth the up charge for “Monument View” room. But - DO NOT LEAN ON BALCONY RAILINGS!! Only 2 bolts in center and rain drainpipe were holding us AC unit in room stopped working on check out day."
