Top The Black Hills Hotel Reviews

Rushmore Express Keystone

8/10 Good

"Keystone Express was perfect for our family trip with an incredibly spacious room that made for enjoyable evenings watching movies on furniture, not beds. There was also plenty of room to eat dinner and in general just move about. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well. The fridge larger than most lodges offer, a bonus. Another bonus was having a fireplace to add to the homey ambiance. The bath featured lighting everywhere as well as a heat lamp, a nice thought that most places do not have. An improvement I would suggest would be to enhance the breakfast offerings. Overall we were happy to stay a couple nights."

Best Western Golden Spike Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Kid friendly. Excellent breakfast. Easy walk to town."

EverSpring Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff. One little thing they could improve on is when their housekeeping ladies were cleaning the checked out rooms they were so loud. Could hear their whole conversation like they were in our room."

Ramada by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place"

Black Hills Luxury Suites

10/10 Excellent

"A little outdated hotel, but has everything you need. The carpet and furniture could be replaced. Great location. Mario on a reception was extremely helpful! Parking is a little bit confusing, because you need to check in at the Best Western reception, and drive to another place. Overall 4 out of 5."
