La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham at WaTiki Waterpark
Perfect sized waterpark for our 3 and 2 year olds! The hotel was clean and newly updated with easy access to the waterpark. The arcade was of course a hit too, and then we topped it off with dinner from the restaurant delivered right to our room. Definitely would recommend!

Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore
The breakfast each day was fresh and resupplied quickly. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and the toiletries were nice. I was disappointed the pool was closed, but I knew about it in advance so wasn't surprised.

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.
