Longest and Last homestead gold mine in Lead, South Dakota (near Deadwood)…read more Everyone should check this gigantic hole out for themselves. The history is interesting, except for the fact that wealthy entrepreneurs exploited the common folks during the 1929 depression and bought their gold claims/homestead for less than market value. The museum was informative and had incredible exhibits but lacked a feature movie to chronically narrate its evolution.

We were making a travel video of experiences and adventures in South Dakota and he then immediately demanded we take no photo or video and we could not mention his company. Didn't want any free advertising from our humble travel video/recap and wouldn't hear us out explaining we posed no risk to him. Luckily we got our deposit back in cash but just a mess of an experience.

When we first got there he was incredibly rude to us.

This trip was suppose to be for work, and although we drove out here for this experience, my friend and I debated if we should still do the ride even if it would just be for personal enjoyment. Overall, we ended up canceling right at the door because of how belittling the man was to us. I will give him this, he refunded our down payment and I appreciate that. I was very excited for this experience, and extremely disappointed in how it ended up.

This place had the best breakfast deal anywhere in Sturgis during the Motorcycle Rally. Not only…read morewas it an awesome deal, but the food was outstanding. Between 7:00 and 11 AM, certain items were $3.99. And that included coffee! The hashbrowns are out of this world. I don't like potatoes much, but these are some of the best hashbrowns I've ever had. Yes, we had to wait for a table, but if you have the time, it was worth it. Service was not very good, and our waiter was never to be found when needed. But again, nobody has good service during the rally. The small towns are overwhelmed with crowds that dwarf the entire size of their towns, so I get it. It's like stepping back in time when entering this place. The restaurant is very old school. Nothing changed in this place for probably 50 years or more. A little dark and dingy, but at least it's not generic and corporate, like so much else these days. And I love that! The breakfast burrito had the potatoes inside, so it doesn't look like much on the plate. But I heard that was also good.

The waitress apologized for the time it took to bring out our food, she didn't like the way my steak was cooked and had it redone. She didn't like an overcooked steak, and figured I wouldn't either. My friend liked her wedge salad with green apples and pecans, but wished she had asked for lighter dressing. We had great service! The shower in our room was the best so far on our trip! Water pressure for the win!

Well, Wife and traveling to Big Sky Montana, to enjoy some skiing. In all honesty this review is…read morefor "Gold Dust Suites" not the "The Hotel by Gold Dust. "Gold Dust Suites" is part of the Gold Dust hotels and is located directly across the street, in Deadwood SD. Before you check into the "Gold Dust Suites" you must know. They have no handicap access to room, ie. elevators etc, no handicap parking ( and having my achilles taken off the bone and repaired) and having a torn rotator cup. that was a big deal to me. Even bigger deal was parking two or three blocks away from room. Why isn't this on your website? We explained to the bearded desk clerk, our situation with my achilles and rotator. We kindly ask to move from the suites into the main hotel whick was closer and we could have taken our bags at the door. We were informed unless we wanted to pay extra for a new room, they could not accommodate a room change. Are you kidding me? The town was dead and i mean empty. Plus it was 7°. Then to top it off after hiking from parking lot in 7° weather, we had no service or internet on our tv. Did i mention that the parking lot is 2-3 blocks away and if that wasn't bad enough it had a sign "PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK" Sweet Jesus, you kidding me. We have over $5000.00 or more in ski equipment stored in our truck, now parked 3 blocks away in a park at your own risk lot in Deadwood SD. Oh Baby, thats a great feeling. Back to the TV. We called front desk and a sweet young lady "Emily" came over and went to work trying to fit wifi. She finally got TV to work and she was delightful. She was full of determination whan it came to that TV boy, she was on it. I can only muster 2 star. Easily fixable things that caused me to give two star: *Non caring desk clerk who was about to get off work and didn't want to take the extra time to change our rooms. * literally blocks away from the room * Park at your own risk parking lot. * no elevator for handicap individuals *no HC parking *TV had no internet *no heat in bathroom *Flies all over window sils and floor * indifferent desk clerk Just put the truth on your website site would be a great start. If not for Emily, I'd given one star. Probably should anyway, but rooms were OK less no heat and flies. This was my second time staying with Gold Dust. I'll probably not return next year. They'll probably be glad I won't be back. Sorry for rambling just a long day. . I have stayed at the The Hotel by Gold Dust before. It was great and I enjoyed it.
