We stayed in nice suite for five nights. Only negative was a almost identical breakfast every morning with very little fresh fruit. We wish they would have provided maybe some applesor bananas. Maybe some English muffins, sweet rolls or bagels. Just something different.

Found a dead roach on floor in our room. The carpet needs replaced badly. There were signs in hotel for espresso bar and restaurant but when i asked there were none. It did offer free breakfast in mornings but nothing special. Room was quiet and we could walk to local restaurants for meals. Location was close to Mt Rushmore. Crazy Horse Monument and Custer park

The first room we were given had absolutely horrendous smells. Bedsheets were not changed from the previous guest, hair all over the pillows. It was a nightmare. Luckily, the front desk person was willing to exchange a room for us. The other room was just okay.
