Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel but check-in took awhile."

Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and friendly staff"

Powder House Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was efficient. We parked right in front of our lodge unit. Unit was small but all we needed for one night. Our lodge required climbing up a flight of outdoor steps - not even. Check with lodge office if you have any mobility concerns. Onsite restaurant was very good for both dinner and breakfast. Upon check-in, we even received a $15 voucher good at the onsite restaurant. Room was clean and had all required amenities. Finally, it was a short drive to Mt Rushmore."

Keystone Boardwalk Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Went for the Sturgis Rally. It was reasonably priced and convenient. The staff was excellent, can't say enough about how great they were. They also had a convenient separate parking lot for trucks and trailers."
