Top Big Thunder Gold Mine Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean and staff was very helpful. The breakfast was great with many options. Our room was very small but it was probably my fault for choosing it. It had a tiny fridge that met our needs but it was tucked in a corner that was hard to get to and the door opened from the wrong side for where it was located. On the whole though, the hotel presented well and met our needs."

Rushmore Express Keystone

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff at the front desk. Great rooms that were nice and clean. Not the greatest view from the suite. Just a rock wall. Nice location within walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops."

Quality Inn Keystone near Mount Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Nice room and good breakfast. The driveway up to the second floor parking is a little scary, but we made it. My only complaint would be the location of the pool. The kids were playing in the pool and one of the guest staying across from the pool came out and yelled at the kids for being too loud. It really is in a bad location. Definitely would stay here again. The location was great for our travels in the area."

Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"We reserved the family suite and it had a nice sized living room to relax in, plus a private balcony that overlooked the street. The free breakfast was very good as well with a good selection of items to choose from. Good coffee too!"

The Brookside Motel Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

8/10 Good

"The whole place needed repairs, it looked as old as it was. It was inexpensive. It is in a great location though and there is a great little restaurant that we had breakfast at very near. Walkable to the center of town."

Comfort Inn & Suites Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"The location was great, it was mostly clean, but had a faint smell. I later found mold on the curtains."

Under Canvas Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Visiting Mt. Rushmore with no prior planning was challenging. Having never glamped, staying here was a delightful western experience. The staff was very helpful, the accommodations were exactly as described, the bed very comfortable. It was an enjoyable sleep. The dining was very affordable and quite delicious. Overall it was one of the highlights of our five day trip to the Black Hills and Badlands. Without doubt, we would stay at an Under Canvas facility again."

Battle Creek Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and easy parking. Close to shopping and dining."

Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Nice amenities, pool, hot tub, gym and free breakfast. Clean rooms. Reasonable price."
