Nice Black Hills Lodge
We were late season for the Black Hills, and our first visit to the area. The Lodge is well located in the center of both the southern loops and the northern areas.
The lodge is operated by the owners, and it is clear that they are pouring their hearts into caring for the place and for their guests.
We had the King room, #11, and can't comment on any other spaces. The room was VERY clean. All the surfaces felt tended to, clean, fit well...carpet felt newish...Nice. The bed was very comfortable. Decorations were all matching, nice quality, chairs, throw pillows, bed pillows, bed quilt...
Bathroom was a bit funny, and the toilet space was tight (I am 5'11, 200#), and the shower was a bit tight as well. That said, it is probably the era of construction, and not a criticism of the current owners or intent.
The room was not large, the balcony listed in the promo turned out to be the walkway up with a couple chairs on it.
The lodge is on the highway, and there was a lot of road noise that was only somewhat mitigated with closed door.
Could have used a bit of hanging clothes space. We were there three nights, and worked out of our suitecases.
A bit more counter/table space would help, and could be accommodated, I believe.
Provided breakfast was packaged, sugary rolls, and coffee - and there weren't many choices nearby, so we bought granola and bananas for breakfast, but no real place to work with them.
Overall, a 5 for care, 4 for details...
