Vacation with our 21, 18 & 2 YO.The place we stayed itself (hotel style)was nice, clean and quiet. However, the resort is seperated by a VERY busy Hwy 16. If you are in the cabins on the side by the lobby, you will be fine. This is also where the kids small splash pad is, bonus! If you are in the hotel style building and need to go to the lobby for anything such as extra toiler paper (which we asked for on day 2- and had to go and ask for again on day 3 as we never recived it) or to eat the complimentary breakfast of cold cereal and a few toast choices, it is across that highway. Needless to say you could not walk to it. Actually getting in and out of the main area seemed a little dangerous to us as entering and leaving the highway area is very awkward. Upon our departure we had forgotten our granddaughters cup and had already put the key in a drop slot. I saw a man stripping a bed so I went to find him. I found a maid in their cleaning walkway and explained what I needed. She said she could help. In the meantime the man came back and started yelling at me about being back there and that just because a door was open, didnt mean I could come in. He didnt let me even explain why I was there or that Id tried getting his attention before hand. He wasnt going to listen to me. The maid finally told him what I needed and he said hed take care of it. He was VERY rude. I went to our room, he was no where to be found, but had openes the door. Sealed the deal, we wont go back.

This was our first stay at Rockerville and it won’t be our last. The location of the place was outstanding and allowed us to easily drive to some of our long time favorite attractions. I would definitely recommend this lodge!!

I really enjoyed our stay. Close to everything we wanted to do and see. A little tricky to get to the main office for breakfast from out room but we made it ok. The staff we met and seen was so nice & friendly made us feel to home. Be nice to have had a couple of waffle machines and rolls or something also for breakfast but you can't have everything. Hope to go again some day.

The property has two sections of rooms. One section is more like small cabins and the other section is more like a row of old rooms that are in gteat need of repairs and attention. Our room, for example, was not in very good shape. The bathroom door was hard to open at times. The door knob was loose, the towel rack was very rusty and dusty, the bathtub was dirty, the bottom of the bathtub door was filthy. There was black mold in the bathroom ceiling.The bathroom also needs a curtain for the window for more privacy, as there were some blinds that didn't seem to cover the sides of the window very well. There was dust in the room's furniture, as well and the beds were super squeaky and shaky as rocker chairs. I would not stay here again. You get what you pay for.

The place we stayed at was across the highway from the main office/ breakfast area. The staff was friendly. Laundry was $15 per load. There was plenty of space in our room with a nice kitchen (sink, full size fridge, stove top). Breakfast was simple continental, toast, coffee, milk, oatmeal and fruit.

Rockerville Lodge met our needs for a two night stay near the Black Hills. Kitchenette room, large fridge, quiet and comfortable. (No added table or seating except to pull out table and chairs from closet.) The location and proximity to scenic areas was good. More out of the way rather than in busy Keystone. A bit tricky to access near 16A interchange. Advertises complimentary breakfast, but it was very minimal, nothing hot. We went elsewhere for breakfast.
