Loved the hot tub
Our stay was better than expected. Hot tub was AMAZING. We were fortunate enough to get the entire hot tub area to ourselves. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Staff was kind. Served a hot continental breakfast.

I saw other people with pets but I did not bring any. The property was mostly quiet excepts the aged window unit that made strange noises. The hot tubs were a nice treat after a long day although one wasn’t filled and the second one we couldn’t get the lights or jets to turn on. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a normal continental style. Unit had everything we needed microwave, fridge, tv, hangers, and comfortable bedding. WiFi was fast and I was able to get work done on downtime. Love the location (down the road from deadwood). Such a cute little town!

The people were very nice and helpful. There were a couple of problems with our room. They began working on them immediately. The location is nice between Lead and Deadwood. Quiet pet friendly hotel. With breakfast. Good price for the area.

We were given the executive suite and found green mold on the ceiling of the bathroom and mold on the calking around the tub. There was dust sitting on the table between the beds. The building was not kept up (paint chips on all the doorways and the walls didn’t look like they had seen new paint in years. I didn’t think to take photos.
I do not recommend this hotel!!

Will not stay here again!
Our room was not cleaned during our 4 day stay at all. Family Room/Suite was dirty, ceiling tiles were falling down in our room and bath exhaust tile was falling down as well. Breakfast area was empty of food in mornings during open breakfast hours and very dirty. TVs/remotes not operational, front desk was always unmanned and laundry room was out of order.

Description on site is a joke. There is no restaurant or bar. The restaurant was warmed up frozen pizza or chicken tenders and the bar was the choice of two beers or wine. After such a long trip I expected to be able to check in and then enjoy a cocktail and dinner. Not gonna happen there. The jacuzzi did show they were like any jacuzzi someone might have in there back yard. But I guess that was good there were 3. One empty and the other two you got to choose your level of nasty smell!! Definitely would not recommend this place

Would not stay here again
The employees were very nice, but the overall cleanliness, condition and comfort of the hotel were subpar in our opinion. Very noisy a/c and refrigerator. Black on the ceiling in shower made us uncomfortable, as well as the general condition of shower and bathroom.

It’s not Vegas I do realize that but for $100/night it is what it is. They need better cleaners that’s for sure there was either mold or just that dirty above shower. Bedding was most definitely not washed but flipped over. Luckily I had our own blankets. Never eat a free breakfast
