The setting was interesting, nestled next to cliffs so some rooms had that view which was disappointing while others had the view of Mount Rushmore, which would be the desired view, of course. It’s very close to downtown Keystone and Mount Rushmore which was helpful for tourists. The room amenities were typical, beds were a bit too firm for our liking but the room was clean and was a comfortable place to come back to each day. Continental breakfasts offered good options, hot foods, cereal, danish, and more which was nice for getting the day started. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Fantastic location with great staff, wonderful rooms, overall, wonderful breakfast, and facilities in super condition! Thank you so much! Only comments to make it even better would be for a soft closing lid on the toilet and to clean the vent in the bathroom to rid the dust.

Mt. Rushmore Visit

My wife and I stayed one night on our trip to see Mt. Rushmore. I highly recommend this place. You can see the Mountain from the hotel! The restaurant has good food with a view on the porch. I wish breakfast had been open a little longer.
