Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Clean cozy room, tiny bathroom, so small that the sink was outside. Easy to find and next to several restaurants. Plenty of parking, can park right in front of room door. Decent breakfast but the selection was very limited in terms of selection. Friendly staff.

Nice place, great price!

A nice place on the main street with good access to everything from food (Maria's next door is superb!) to highways. The price was wonderful for such a great property in the center of the Black Hills.

The entranceway in our building had a liquid spill that never got cleaned up during our stay and the clock hanging on the entrance wall should be set for the correct time. Should also be hanging at eye level and not up by the ceiling

Very friendly staff. Checkin was very quick and simple. Room was smaller but very clean. Far enough away from the highway so didnt hear the traffic. Never got to try out the pool. The only downside was the exhaust fan in the bathroom. Didnt know if it was.going to short out or just quit running.
