The place was well maintained, clean and the rooms were very large. The place is just outside of town, so there is no where you can walk to. BUT everything was a short drive away. Very close to Mount Rushmore and the Bad lands. Because we had a suit with a full size refig, dishwasher, sink and a stove they never made up our room. I guess that was expected? The breakfast was basic with hard boiled eggs, bread, bagels, fruit, juice, coffee, tea. I would recommeng.

No shuttle as advertised

The only reason I booked this hotel was for the airport shuttle. It is listed as available via the filter on the Hotels.com app. When checking in they stated they do not have a shuttle. So, I paid $60+ dollars in Uber fees.
