This was a great place to stay in Keystone. A little past all the hubbub, but very walkable to ships and restaurants. The staff was so friendly and the included breakfast was delicious! If you stay on the 2nd or 3rd level, there are private balconies with stunning views.

Everything was fantastic with the exception of the parking. You have to drive up more or less a single lane ramp to get to the parking area. The lines for the parking spaces were very narrow. We had to be very careful when we opened our doors that we didn’t hit the car next to us. Those lines need to be expanded to allow for parking so that people won’t be dinging other people‘s doors when they open their door.

Beautiful view from our window, the side of Mount Rushmore! Staff was very friendly and accomadating by allowing us to check in early. The only disappointment was the building is under renovations so the pool and game room area are not accessible to guests.

The service here was top-notch! The staff truly treat you like family! The owners and several other staff live on property so there is always someone there to answer a call. The game room was great! The indoor pool was a bit dated, and was closed during thunderstorms, but was still great when we got to use it! Complimentary breakfast was good. We would definitely stay here again! The location is great, too!

In room 214 the phone did not work: a call to the front desk was not heard from me, I could hear her, she could not hear me. Had to walk down. There was human hair(?) in the corners below the coat rack. There was a sagging ceiling tile above the door, weakened by a long ago-dried up leak. The sink drain ran so slow that brushing ones teeth was time consuming. No grab bars in the shower.

Our room was on the small side. Don’t know if all are like that. We found the tv & tv remote were not user friendly. The laminated channel guide in the room needs to explain how to get to live tv. However without a key pad on the remote I had to go channel by channel from 400 to 2! The breakfast was very good and the staff were very accommodating.

Having the full breakfast available every morning was great. The only really bad thing was that we could not use the TV because it was very difficult to use because none of our regular stations were available to us, and it was some kind of smart tv, with a lot of Internet, which we are not familiar with how to use. Very frustrating! The manager did try to help us with this, but only once, and it was very hard to understand and remember how to use this very complicated TV.

My wife, son and parents stayed for 1 night after attending Mount Rushmore. Our rooms were very nice and clean. The following morning we left for Rapid City. We realized we had left behind a toy that our son bought in Medora. Upon calling the hotel they discovered the toy and set it aside so my parents could pick it up the next day. We were so very grateful.

The continental breakfast was nicer than all the others bc there were actual plates, bowls, mugs, cups, and flatware - no paper or plastic ware. The beds were very comfortable. Dining choices were within walking distance or a short ride. The onsight indoor pool was in use all the time. We never heard our "neighbors" above, below, or on either side of our room. There were a variety of activities and eating establishments around the Roosevelt Inn. I'd definitely stay there again.

Thoroughly great hotel. Best hotel breakfast I've ever had. My favorite thing to do in the morning was to head downstairs, grab a cup of coffee and sit on the rocking chair on the porch. I tended to be up before the other quests so I had a nice quiet hour the porch enjoying my coffee. The hotel staff is very friendly and the room was great. It was only 20 minutes or so to Mount Rushmore. Also a great launching spot for visiting Needles Highway, Custer State Park or even Badlands National Park. 2 hours to Devil's Tower which was an enjoyable drive. All around no regrets staying here and would absolutely do it again.

The staff was over the top friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was the best we've had in our 3 week travels out west. Fresh and plentiful. The rooms, again they're older, but well kept and clean. The Roosevelt is a very affordable option in Keystone.
