Room was located down in one exclusive quiet and cold corner. Bath room was roomy but with noisy fan going on when light was not turned off. Continental breakfast was ok with some nutritional choice.

The property didn’t feel updated nor recently renovated. This was average at best. The staff was very nice but I wouldn’t stay here again if given the choice.

Clean cozy room, tiny bathroom, so small that the sink was outside. Easy to find and next to several restaurants. Plenty of parking, can park right in front of room door. Decent breakfast but the selection was very limited in terms of selection. Friendly staff.

Nice place, great price!

A nice place on the main street with good access to everything from food (Maria's next door is superb!) to highways. The price was wonderful for such a great property in the center of the Black Hills.

Very friendly staff. Checkin was very quick and simple. Room was smaller but very clean. Far enough away from the highway so didnt hear the traffic. Never got to try out the pool. The only downside was the exhaust fan in the bathroom. Didnt know if it was.going to short out or just quit running.
