Top The Black Hills Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Near Mt. Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great!"

Rushmore Express Keystone

8/10 Good

"The boardwalk in this town is minutes away and had lots of restaurant options as well as sweet shops. We chose the veteran-owned pizza shop. It was good. It's on the second level and there is an elevator. There is outdoor seating which is magical at night."

Best Western Golden Spike Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was ok, eggs tasted like powder and sausage every morning. Not everyone likes sausage! Do area was far from building and once you got there no benches. Rooms were clean and quiet. We did like the large room with kitchenette. Very close to restaurants and attractions."

Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the Roosevelt Inn. Great location, clean and very friendly people."

Quality Inn Keystone near Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"great location, clean room, and beautiful sunrise on the cliffs in the morning. Parking was good. Easy access to town, helpful staff as well."

Ramada by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was clean with enough towels and included shampoo, conditioner and soap. Breakfast was above average. Would definitely stay here again!"

Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel, clean and friendly staff"

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!"

Timber Haven Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was very homey and I liked that it was peaceful in the forest."
