"The rooms have character. Certainly not a cookie cutter hotel. Breakfast was good. Really liked having a real plate and coffee cup. Just tastes better than using paper."

Quality Inn Keystone near Mount Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the hot tub especially after a long day of hiking. Beds were on the hard side and could use some updating."

Comfort Inn & Suites Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"The room was clean however the sink drain did not work properly. Staff did provide a temporary solution, which worked. Staff was great. Continental breakfast was good. The hotel was located very close (walking distance) to restaurants and other shops. We were just there for one night, so it provided everything we needed."

"Great location and clean hotel, the only downside was the parking situation. As a paying guest you have to fight to find a parking spot, you are competing with people that are using the parking lot to walk the town."
