Pros:

Rooms, bathroom, breakfast, everything was great.

Cons:

Very high priced. I believe it's due the Mount Rushmore area near by.

Pros:

Spa was great and clean. Room was quiet, shower amenities were great.

Cons:

Sheets were clean, but had a few stains. Bedspread looked a little dirty so we took it off the bed and used a different blanket. Breakfast didn’t start early enough for us to eat before we got on the road- would have been better if it started at 6 rather than 7. Fire alarm in room had a green flashing light on it which was disruptive.
