Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Looks like the photos, breakfast was good, very convenient location. Stayed during the slow season and only one night, pool was closed."

ClubHouse Hotel & Suites - Rapid City

8/10 Good

"Carlos, was amazing! You could smell the food from the restaurant Wild Sage. Beautiful room, amazing shower. Beautiful view of the Moutains. I recomend eating at the wild Sage just a few steps behind the hotel. Food was amazing. The only complaint I have is it was very cold and the door leading to outside had a large gap. It was hard to warm the room . we would definitely stay again. Carlos, made are stay awesome."
