Great option near Mount Rushmore

They offered a good variety of breakfast items. The hotel layout is great and in a very peaceful location with a side view of mount rushmore. Parking was right next to the building. The staff were friendly and helpful.

This was part of a larger trip. We spent several days in the Mount Rushmore area. This hotel was very convenient to all of the local attractions. Nice view of Mount Rushmore from our balcony.

Except for the Western Conifer Seed Bug infestation that appears to overwhelm the staff and maintenance group, this would have been a 4 star experience. We had multiple bugs in our room each day. Even with doors and windows closed they found a way in and made our outdoor terrace overlooking Mt Rushmore useless. Staff seems to feel if you stay there you need to accept some insects. Take that into account when booking.

Keystone, in a nice, quiet area.

Great location and property. Shower has a huge rainfall shower head, but weak water pressure nullifies it. A very small tv for 2025, but good WiFi. Nice breakfast and dining area.

Peaceful haven

What a pleasant surprise when we checked in. You can see Mt. Rushmore from the hotel lobby! We received a sincere welcome from Craig and then Laura was very helpful as well. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. A family of deer slept on the grass outside our balcony and we enjoyed coffee on our patio while enjoying the beautiful pines and of course, the profile of George Washington up on the monument! We would visit again!!
