I stayed in the whirlpool suite during a hiking trip. I wasn’t expecting much due to the low rates. I was so impressed with my suite. So comfortable and private. The continental breakfast was wonderful. Very homey atmosphere, real dishes, great coffee!

Saffron, Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. We are so happy that we exceeded your expectations. Our goal is to provide warmth and kindness to all our guests in order to help them feel at home.
It is an older historic place but well redone, balcony was very nice, breakfast was average, tho the donuts were a nice plus,,, rooms clean, adequate, good water pressure! Just 2 1/2 miles from Mt Rushmore!

Thank you for the kind words Melissa! Our housekeeping staff strive to provide clean and comfortable for our guests. Glad you enjoyed our wide verity of options during breakfast!
Clean and well positioned for local attractions. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast has a good choice and coffee was available even when we left at 4AM. One suggestion is to have more feature of Eleanor Roosevelt quotes as well as Teddy's in the hallways!

Thank you for the kind words William! I am glad you had a wonderful time at the Roosevelt Inn. Our staff will help you with whatever may arise or any questions you may have! Have a wonderful afternoon.
We arrived an hour before normal check in and Reeva checked us in early and had the room ready. She was super friendly and shared stories with us. She made the entire stay even more enjoyable. The Inn and suite we stayed in was next level, it was taking a step back in time. Plus for added benefit, it’s only 2 miles from the beautiful Mt Rushmore. The next day we left around 6:30 and Reeva was there again getting breakfast ready for everyone. Since we left before the 7 am breakfast, Reeva hooked us up with some to go snacks. You don’t get that service with the big hotels. Five star for the Roosevelt Inn!

This is a great value for the price. It's not the Ritz, but it's clean and comfortable and has a lot of ambiance -- with quirky bits of history about Roosevelt and the carving of Mt. Rushmore.

Propert and staff were nice. Breakfast was good. Bed was pretty uncomfortable however. Super firm spring mattress. Other than that a good stay.

The curtain in the room did not cover the window completely. Why? Should be an easy fix.

Denis, I am sorry that the curtain in your room did not cover your window completely. We have an on-site maintenance man that is able to assist with issues such as these. I will have him address the window in the room you were in. Thank you for the feedback and we hope you will come stay with us again.
The owners of this property are AMAZING. EVERY member of the staff greeted us warmly EVERYtime we entered the hotel. The breakfast was well stocked, all public areas were immaculate, and the family game room was an awesome treat. Having managed hotels myself, I can personally attest that the management is on top of it and take extreme pride in their hotel. We wil DEFINITELY be back! HANDS DOWN, my favorite stay in the Black Hills thus far, and we visit at least once a month year round.

The room was very clean, the hallway and stairs were as well. It is an older building which just adds to the charm for me, but it is something to keep in mind.

I absolutely love the beauty of the Roosevelt Inn. It is conveniently located. The room has charm that goes well with the architecture of the Inn. Everything was clean and there were no doors. The young lady who checked me in was friendly and professional. I literally walked in my room and was very happy with it all and text my family friends to let them know where to stay when they visit Mount Rushmore.
This is an excellent place to stay.
