Well first thing first, my sister and I reserved a room with a kitchette because we knew we would need one as we were staying a few days. When we arrived that is not what we received, instead we were put in a standard room and told that is what we reserved and the kitchenettes were already occupied. There were dead bugs on the floor and in the toilet that had a paper wrap on it stating that it was clean. The air conditioner was old and could not be ran continuously or it would freeze up. And the weather was HOT and did not cool off at night so we really needed the air conditioner. The ice machine

Stayed here twice in two weeks at the motel...there are RV sites ( booked 6mos in advance) and even cabins. Nice, clean, and the best deal around for a good night's sleep. Close to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. The owners and staff are friendly...call ahead for bookings- office closes up tight at 9pm.

Great location for the areas we were visiting. Low price. Stayed in a cabin for 5 days. Only complaints were that the mattresses were about 2 1/2” thick - so a bit uncomfortable and the pool sign and info from office says it closed at 10pm but my kids were shoo’d out at 9 by an employee that said it closed at 9, not 10. Otherwise the bathrooms were close and kept clean. No air conditioning but window fans were good enough, evening lows were in the 60’s. We were actually chilly. Fire pit was great, no grill on it but we brought our own for cooking out. Wood was delivered from the office the

An amazing stay! I loved it here! My husband and I stayed at their RV park for a few months and we had a great experience. They accept mail for you, they have a great clean bathrooms and laundry facility and just amazing customer service. The location is even better! I recommend anyone to stay at their RV park when in town.

Stayed here for about a week in one of the cabins, and I absolutely loved it. The beds were comfortable, the cabins were clean, the bathrooms were virtually spotless, and spider free, the staff were a bunch of the nicest and friendliest people I have ever met. The showers were kept clean, with an endless amount of hot water. There was a laundromat on the grounds, and a well stocked camp store. The game room was a hit with my family. The grounds were close to Mount Rushmore, keystone, and about an hour away from Wall. I will definitely be returning to South Dakota, and in will definitely be staying
