This was an excellent room, clean and well furnished. The staff were friendly and efficient. The location was within walkable distance to many attractions. The pool area clean. The included breakfast was average. Check in and out was quick and easy.

Thank you for your review :)This is a common confusion in the lodging industry. It can be confusing reading check-out dates but this is a general confusion not a specific one with a specific hotel. If you have any suggestions on how to better communicate this information, we are open to hearing these as it is a general issue that seems to stem from how people perceive information. We are always looking for better ways to communicate with our guests especially regarding how they perceive information. For this specific reservation it unfortunately was only made on Expedia for the 11th checking out on the 12th, and unfortunately we happen to be fully booked, even our back up rooms we keep on reserve for just such an occasion as this. I wish we could have adjusted your reservation to fix this and I think if it hadn't been such a busy week we certainly could have. We wish you the best and hopefully everything works out and you still have a great time out here enjoying all the Black Hills have to offer.
