This hotel is conveniently located right next to the highway in the Black Hills area, making it easy to access with a few restaurants nearby. The rooms feature very comfortable king beds on the main level, ideal for a restful stay. The service was excellent with pleasant housekeeping and the added convenience of shops and laundry facilities, even offering a welcome drink. While the dining experience included seasonal vegetables, it didn't come off as expected. Overall, this hotel provides a good value for money stay with its great location and comfortable rooms.
