Widespread cleanliness problems (dirty sheets, mold, roaches, soiled beds)

Categories

Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple guests reported unclean rooms (dirty/soiled beds, hair everywhere, mold in shower, dead roaches), and failing housekeeping — overall strongly negative.
Service
4.2
Mostly negative: repeated reports of no one at the desk, long waits, untrained staff; a few notes that staff tried to help in isolated instances, hence a slightly higher but still below-average score.
Location
8.1
Several reviewers praised the location (convenient to highway and Mount Rushmore) and proximity to local businesses; consistently the most positive aspect mentioned.
Room Quality
3.6
Rooms had multiple issues: broken toilets and TVs, missing/broken fixtures, poor maintenance, lack of chairs and fridge cleanliness; occasional positives (king bed/tub) but overall poor.
Amenities
3.2
Amenities frequently criticized: pool permanently closed/empty, missing coffee machine parts, no toiletries, broken TVs, and unsecured back door — generally below expectations.
Value for Money
3.5
Perceived poor value: prices hiked (Sturgis), subpar/limited breakfast and facilities, and maintenance issues reduce perceived worth relative to price.
Food and Beverage
3
Breakfast repeatedly described as slim/subpar, no coffee or milk available at times; minimal food offerings noted — poor F&B experience.
Overall Experience
6.3
Overall mixed-to-negative: many severe negatives (cleanliness, service, maintenance) but some positives (location, occasional good bed/room features). Score is elevated slightly to reflect the pockets of positive feedback despite overall poor consistency.

adequate facility, good location in a beautiful area.
Pros:

great location, we had a small suite with TV in each room. the facility was a shared property with Pizza Ranch

Cons:

Room was old and needed to be spiffed up. the sitting room had only one chair. TV in Bedroom and in sitting room, did not work when we arrived, problem was just one of moving components around, a haphazard set-up. pool was permanently closed, Sound traveled easily thru the walls.
