Amazing breakfast
The motel is a little bit faded but the staff are certainly trying to do their best. For the price it has an extremely convenient location and offers a hot breakfast with a wide selection of cold food.
I would certainly stay here again.

Great place to stay for a great price! If you’re looking for a place to crash while you do the surrounding tourist attractions, this is a good place to do it!

Older but nice & friendly people.
The facility was an older property that showed its age but the proprietor did a good job keeping everything in order. He was very friendly, caring and always prompt with any requests made. We prefer softer mattresses so be prepared for extra firm if you stay here. We would stay here again.

Very nice for an older building
The staff was so nice and helpful. He showed me where my room was. I was skeptical at first because it’s an older building and the parking lot is crowded. But the room was clean and comfortable. I didn’t hear my neighbors at all. My only problem was that there was no USB charging port and I didn’t have any adapter with me so I had to charge my phone in my car. But for the price and due to the busy Labor Day weekend, it was worth the money.

Ok for the $$
Owner was very nice. They do not have Conditioner for the showers, which was weird. The rooms are dated but comfortable enough. It's the cheapest option in town and you get what you pay for. Hot Breakfast was ok but definitely was powdered eggs. The pictures are a variety of the old hotel(blue) and repainted white. The pool was filled in and is now the firepit.

Convenient location close to Mt. Rushmore but away from the noise of downtown Keystone. What impressed me the most was the manager/owner. He went out his way to provide us with polite service and an excellent breakfast. Thank you.

It was a nice motel. Even the lower-level rooms have four steps to climb. There may have been a ramp elsewhere on the property but I didn’t see it.
The manager was friendly and working very hard.

Terrible
I made a reservation for a queen bed. Room was supposed to have tv-didn’t work, no hair dryer, no coffee maker, no alarm clock. Bed was old full size. Drapes couldn’t be closed adequately lights didn’t work except over sink. Carpet was so dirty I wouldn’t put my feet or anything else down on it. Shower pressure was non existent. I was scared.
