Liked: Staff & service
The good: Great location close to stores and restaurants and right off the interstate. Nice pool. Good price for tourist area. Decent continental breakfast. Staff was friendly. Area and property felt safe. The negatives: Room carpet was dirty plus carpet in the bathroom is a big NO especially in a hotel. No blankets on the bed except the bedspread which doesn’t appear to be washed after each guest. Pillows were small and hard as rocks. We just needed it for one night traveling through the area, and prices of hotels on the weekend in this area were ridiculous. So the Foothills Inn was adequate for our needs.

Close to Attractions

This was a good hotel for the price. It’s close to Mt. Rushmore and many other attractions. The bathroom could have been cleaner and the bed was quite firm. Overall, it was a nice stay.

Receptionist really friendly at checkin. We Didn’t like carrying heavy luggage up the stairs, didn’t know there was no elevator. Carpeting in room was very old and unappealing feeling on bare feet. Dirty washcloth still in bath when we arrived. Friendly atmosphere and good for the price.

The only thing I didn’t like is the fact they close outside doors at 9:00pm very inconvenient. I don’t know why considering everything is key activated. Very inconvenient to walk all the way around to lobby to get in and then all the way to your room that is next to an outside door with a key operated system. Made no sense. Other than everything was great. Grown adults don’t need 9 o’clock curfews

Woken up before 9 am and 2 More Times Before 11!

I had a long day dealing with my mom in rehab and I got a room due to being up so late & being too far from home to drive. I went to bed about 2 am and was sleeping sound until a little before 9 am when housekeeping knocked on my door & woke me up (no door tag was provided in the room). They came again at 10 am and then at 11 am. Mind you, check out is 11. I was advised by the desk clerk after stating the inconvenience of the knocks when I was asleep, that regardless of the door tag, it wouldn’t have stopped them from knocking. I got a hotel room to sleep. Not to be harassed 3 times in a couple hours to see if I’m still in a room, that I paid for until 11 am! The only good thing was the night clerk was a doll, bed was comfy…but the attitude of the morning clerk was unacceptable and apathetic. I’d rather pay more to know I’ll be able to get a good nights sleep without interruption!
