Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore
Everything went great until the day we left. No hot water so we couldn't take showers. Few things need updated in the room but nothing major.

The Rushmore Hotel & Suites, BW Premier Collection
The room and property are mediocre. Bed and pillows were incredibly uncomfortable. Not a great nights sleep at all. It was nice to be downtown and have free parking.

AmericInn by Wyndham Rapid City
Great room, breakfast, pool, helpful staff, and great value for the price. Quiet all night and good location. Room was clean. We had 2 family suites. In one suite, the shower didnt work, but everything else was functioning well.
