10/10 Excellent

The property is located within a 3 min drive to Mt Rushmore. There is a buffett brkfast that is actually good, waffles, eggs, toast, bacon, milk and juice. It was a great start. There is a Sprockets within walking distance that provided beer and pizza, arcade games and entertainment. Great because it was open in the winter. A shopping area right down the road, but be prepared they close in the off season Dec to April or May. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the woodwork and natural native...

Lodge at Palmer Gulch

Hill City

10/10 Excellent

First of all, we stayed in one of the "executive lodges" so our experience may be slightly different than if we stayed in one of the standard rooms in the main lodge. However, we had an absolutely awesome time. The cabin was big, well appointed, and super comfortable. Each of the three bedrooms had very comfortable beds, but there was so much to do and we were so exhausted that we probably could have slept on the floor and been comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and truly...

ClubHouse Hotel & Suites - Rapid City

Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

I cannot say enough good about this hotel. It is very competitive pricing for the area during this time the check-in staff was amazing and Carlos did a great job of interacting with our kids and making them feel welcome. The location is great, but the new restaurant salt block not far away. The rooms were perfectly clean and quiet. The pool area is clean and stocked with fresh towels. The staff did a great job with breakfast and it was wonderful to see them sourcing local coffee from dark...

We were only there for one night but we very much enjoyed our stay. If we go to hot springs again we’ll be staying there again. We got there a little before check in time but our room was already cleaned and we got to check in. The owners were very friendly and helped us with some food delivery suggestions. We had both our dogs, 70lb Pitbull’s and we warmly welcomed. It was a nice area to walk the dogs along the spring. The cafe food was very good. We had their breakfast before leaving a lot of...
