When I booked it, it had 8 stars. And for the price I was expecting a decent hotel with a decent breakfast. The room was pretty run down. Breakfast was pretty disappointing. The staff was very nice and they were dressed nice and professional.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean but outdated. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was just okay not much of a selection. Our last day there breakfast was biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was overcooked and the bottom was hard. My husband had to ask some of the guests to quiet down. They were standing outside our bedroom door at 1am in the morning talking very loudly with no conversation for the other guests. Overall I probably would not stay there again.

Room is a little old. Be careful with their tub it is slippery when wet. My 9 yrs old son slipped and his side hip was hit on the tub. They dont have bath mat in the tub,,they only have those stripped lines but only to certain area and not as sticky as it is. The swimming pool is nice but be careful as well be extra cautious esp if you have kids walking as it is slippery I almost fell. The breakfast is just basic. What stand out with this property is its location. Near to Mt rushmore memorial park, tramway adventures,presidential museum. A/C is a little loud if you are light sleeper and can’t sleep with loud sound I suggest you turn off the ac.
