We were just passing through and thought we’d check out the downtown so this was very convenient.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable. I appreciated the extra towels. Also like that the sink was outside the bathroom. Good parking. Convenient location near downtown. Good value.

Cons:

Climate control wasn’t ideal but there was a blanket in the closet which helped. Breakfast was so busy they couldn’t keep up with eggs and sausage and we didn’t want to wait.

Comfortable room. Easy reach to Badlands and Mt Rushmore
Pros:

Nice room.
Can walk through the park into town but would be ideal if visiting the Monument.
Can’t comment on pool etc as didn’t have time use them.
Easy to find with good parking.

Cons:

Breakfast was busy and food could have been better although it was 4th July weekend which may explain why it was so busy.

Pros:

Breakfast is okay.

Cons:

The requested pillow never came and no follow up call letting us know of the availability. The place was renovated but still old, dark and little creepy.
