The stay here was great. The employees were very nice, happy to help with everything and was able to answer questions when I had some. The room was very clean and comfortable for the three days that I was there. It was nice to have the hotel in that location and travel to Mt. Rushmore and even the Devils Tower was easy.

Will never stay there again!
The noise from the interstate was horrible, had to use noise canceling headphones to sleep. Ask to be moved to another room since I had another 5 night at this hotel. They would not change my room unless I stayed at the hotel until 12 noon or I returned at 12 to change rooms. I was outraged by they thought is was ok for them to tell I had to waste a half day of my vacation to change rooms! I had two rooms so I could have moved all of my stuff to the other room and then been able to come back that evening to get my new room keys. Also my mother has a medical condition that makes it hard for her to stay warm. The air unit is one of the motion sensors and doesn’t work at night when you are asleep so she would get cold at night. Didn’t think the heat worked cause after 3 hours the room temperature didn’t rise but a couple degrees. The maintenance guy came by and told us it was working but since the motion sensor didn’t sense anyone it turned off. Said he would bring a portable heater in the room after another 3 hours he didn’t return. He apparently had to get permission before he could do that and left to go to another hotel to work. At 11pm I went to the office to find out what the hell was going on and they said they were still waiting permission. The next morning went down stairs and the still had heard nothing from the manager! Just a completely useless stay and didn’t seem to at all about helping their customers!

Property itself was nice and convienent for access to the Waterpark. Our tv didn’t work, but I’m sure staff would have been accommodating had we brought it up as an issue. Staff was friendly and always accessible. Utensils are in kitchen area for use, but my first experience ever having sharp kitchen utensils stored at toddler level. May be a suggestion to keep in the top drawer or even cabinet.

Loved the upgrade we received. Staff was great. Was convenient to everything. However, a couple of things on the downside. Orange slime in the corners in the shower, and under the wire shelves in the shower. Also, the hand towels/ washcloths hung in the front of the bathroom sink, kept falling on the floor each time i washed my hands. Cobwebs in the corners. All in all good stay, but all needs updating. Thank you

No Pool, Poor Breakfast
There is no pool at this hotel, only a expensive water park next door. That is deceptive advertising. I know management does not act on these reviews, because the breakfast was lacking in choices and quantity. No pastry, apple's only for fruit, two juices with no waffle or pancake offerings. If you search the reviews you will see the same breakfast complaints from two years ago. Room was comfortable, bed was good.
