Great place
Very nice hotel. Rooms were spacious, clean and quiet. Excellent location for all area parks such as Wind Cave, Mt Rushmore and Custer State Park. Also had free on site laundry which was great as we were on an extended trip. Highly recommend.

Best hotel experience in years. Feels like a cross between visiting family and a boutique hotel. Free laundry, excellent amenities for families with children of all ages. Lots of extras like cookies and milk, hammocks, outdoor and indoor games, great pools, tennis and basketball courts and jungle gym. Don’t miss the cafe for breakfast next door for ambiance and simplicity.
