Room is dated. Breakfast is a joke. Bagels, cereal, tea and coffee. The shuttle was on time. Nice perk! I would try the Cambrian next door if I came again.

Maybe I’m pickier than most but I do expect the garbage from past guests to be out of the room when I check in- I don’t care of you don’t clean the room every day if I stay more than 1 night but at least come on and give fresh towels and take out the garbage. The ONLY redeeming quality is the front desk staff. Courteous and professional

The place was well maintained, clean and the rooms were very large. The place is just outside of town, so there is no where you can walk to. BUT everything was a short drive away. Very close to Mount Rushmore and the Bad lands. Because we had a suit with a full size refig, dishwasher, sink and a stove they never made up our room. I guess that was expected? The breakfast was basic with hard boiled eggs, bread, bagels, fruit, juice, coffee, tea. I would recommeng.

Needs upgrading

Parking and location worked great, nice outdoor patio area. Rooms need upgrading, couch very uncomfortable, all furniture pretty rough looking in room and other common areas, TV could be bigger for suite and lamps etc..no USB charging options, (we do alot of traveling this is pretty standard). Staff were very nice.
