Keystone, in a nice, quiet area.

Great location and property. Shower has a huge rainfall shower head, but weak water pressure nullifies it. A very small tv for 2025, but good WiFi. Nice breakfast and dining area.

Peaceful haven

What a pleasant surprise when we checked in. You can see Mt. Rushmore from the hotel lobby! We received a sincere welcome from Craig and then Laura was very helpful as well. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. A family of deer slept on the grass outside our balcony and we enjoyed coffee on our patio while enjoying the beautiful pines and of course, the profile of George Washington up on the monument! We would visit again!!

The setting was interesting, nestled next to cliffs so some rooms had that view which was disappointing while others had the view of Mount Rushmore, which would be the desired view, of course. It’s very close to downtown Keystone and Mount Rushmore which was helpful for tourists. The room amenities were typical, beds were a bit too firm for our liking but the room was clean and was a comfortable place to come back to each day. Continental breakfasts offered good options, hot foods, cereal, danish, and more which was nice for getting the day started. Overall, a pleasant stay.
