Everything about our stay was perfect! Very comfortable beds, parking was great, and the breakfast served every morning was wonderful with a lot of variety. The location was close to a lot of attractions, shopping, and restaurants. We would absolutely stay there again!

Keystone, in a nice, quiet area.

Great location and property. Shower has a huge rainfall shower head, but weak water pressure nullifies it. A very small tv for 2025, but good WiFi. Nice breakfast and dining area.

Peaceful haven

What a pleasant surprise when we checked in. You can see Mt. Rushmore from the hotel lobby! We received a sincere welcome from Craig and then Laura was very helpful as well. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. A family of deer slept on the grass outside our balcony and we enjoyed coffee on our patio while enjoying the beautiful pines and of course, the profile of George Washington up on the monument! We would visit again!!
