Super 8 by Wyndham Keystone Mt. Rushmore

My wife and I took a spontaneous trip to see Mt. Rushmore, and with funds being tight as a medical student, I just booked what seemed to be the most affordable while still having decent reviews. In previous Super 8 stays, I haven't had bad experiences, per se, but the bar was still set pretty low in my mind. Well, suffice it to say I was blown away at this place. Leah a the front desk gave us the most friendly and helpful service I think I've ever had at any hotel, offering us personal recommendations for places to explore or where to eat. The other staff I met were also very pleasant and conversational. As far as the room goes, as I said before, the bar was set low in mind, but I was pleasantly surprised by our accusations. It's no 5 star resort by any means, but it was clean, organized, and ready for use. The building is a little old, and the sink faucet was broken (not unusable. The handle to adjust the heat and pressure was just loose and free spinning. It took some finesse to adjust the temperature). The beds were amazing, though. Usually I don't sleep well at hotels, but my wife and I actually enjoyed one of the better nights of sleep in a long time, we were so comfortable. The heating and AC worked fine, the door locked well, they card keys had no issues, and the in-room appliances were perfectly functional. The wifi was a tad slow, but hey, who goes to Keystone to just stay in the hotel and surf the web? Breakfast was provided, but there wasn't much to it. I'd recommend going somewhere in town or packing food. It was just a brown paper bag with a muffin, a tiny carton of apple juice, a diced peaches/tangerines carton, and some dried banana. Basically airplane snacks in a bag, honestly. It'd be adequate for a kid, maybe, but not for an adult with an appetite for protein. No complaints, though, as I was greatful to have anything that I didn't have to make. Definitely would stay here again! Only reason I give 4/5 instead of 5 is because of the sink and small breakfast.

Hotel staff and location were good, Rates are expensive for what it is, Breakfast is a brown bag containing small pre wrapped muffin, bottle of water, fruit cup and a snack bar. Not very substantial or healthy. No room service, 6-8 channels on the tv.

NEVER AGAIN! This hotel charged me $250 stating that the room smelled of smoke. I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT smoke in the room. I do not even smoke in my own home. They refuse to reverse the charge and basically called me a liar. Over $350 to stay in a trashy Super 8... NEVER AGAIN!

This Super 8 was good. Everyone was very polite and accommodating to us. Our room (king bed) was fine. It was exactly what we needed for our stay. Thank you! We were able to just walk down the street a bit and see Mount Rushmore light up the night!

This Super 8 was the best motel in our stay. The room was clean, the beds were comfy and the staff was helpful and attentive. Despite the 101 degree heat, the room stayed cool and we were able to sleep well. It's also located just within reach of downtown, and there's a mini strip mall right next door with several food options (as well as gift shops and an old timey photo place).
