The Rushmore Hotel & Suites, BW Premier Collection
Great staff clean hotel room however I would recommend y’all getting fridges in the rooms like mini fridges but maybe mine just didn’t have one and you can request a room with one. Otherwise, I thought it was a great stay. The airport shuttle is a huge benefit and it’s very inexpensive. Much cheaper ...
