Great stay! Huge family suite

We had a huge family suite that was clean and comfortable! We extended another night because it was a great stay and at the quiet end of town. The only negatives were having the same exact breakfast all 3 days and the hot tub was closed "for maintenance" during our entire stay. We would definitely stay again!

Highly Recommend

This was AMAZING! Staff super friendly. Room was exceptional! We highly recommend this room. We were here for 4 nights 5 days and loved every second of our stay. We hope to return someday and would stay here again. Pricing was extremely reasonable as well! Can't say enough great things about our suite.

It was unexpectedly nice and quiet, as it was not located on the main thoroughfare. The double-queen room was roomy and the beds were comfortable. A great family place! One suggestion for the hotel: provide coffee in the lobby starting at 6 a.m., not 7 a.m.

Situated in the heart of downtown, just a stone's throw away from the iconic Mount Rushmore, this location offers a vibrant atmosphere with a variety of shops, thrilling zip lines, and exciting water slides nearby. Guests can enjoy a refreshing swim in the on-site pool, which features a deep end reaching 5 feet, providing plenty of space for relaxation and enjoyment. Whether you're looking for adventure or a leisurely day by the water, this spot has it all right at your fingertips.
