Top Black Elk Peak Hotel Reviews

Best Western Golden Spike Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing, it's located near Main Street but it's nice and quiet despite all of the activity going on in the area. It was very easy to find which was helpful since we arrived a bit later when everything was dark. The rooms are also surprisingly spacious, there is even a sink/kitchenette area with an extra island table where you can eat. The amenities are also fantastic, there are even two pools; one is indoors and one is outdoors, plus the hot tub which is very nice and has a nice view of the surrounding environment. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and one of the best parts of this place is the breakfast they serve. It always comes out hot and they replace it quite often so you can always eat it when it's freshly cooked. This place is also conveniently close to Mount Rushmore, which makes it the perfect place to stay if you're coming to visit the monument."

"Un endroit parfait et le déjeuner est bon"

Freedom Ridge Cabins

8/10 Good

"A beautiful location, clean, easy to check in and communicate with owners. The view was astounding, although the cabin was closer to another house than anticipated. Primary complaint was just the overall quality of the cabin. It was cozy, but definitely cramped. No closet, bedroom with barely enough room to walk either side of the bed, and everything made of the same wood which made it a bit visually unappealing like a prefab. Still, shower and bathroom was good, they had dishes and utensils necessary, and a decent front porch to sit and see the mountains out front and cows that grazed by. Overall a pretty positive experience!"
