So you've been warned! They are big, scary and everywhere. The lady that checked me in was so so wonderful. Smiling, kind and informative. I would stay here again. I could see Rushmore from my room. Pros: clean, great staff, 5 mins from Rushmore. Cons: THEM BUGS, Separate buildings, terrible parking.

Tammy and Cine offer keyless entry, the BEST customer service and are always just a phone call/text away. When we wake up, Cine asks what the plans for the day are and offers suggestions that we always take. They both take pride in the Lodge and the surrounding community. The rooms are clean and well cared for as well as the property. If you want to stay with them, call them, message them or book through their website for the best prices rather than using a third party booking agent. Sometimes the 3rd party doesn't have the codes or the excellent customer service that they offer. They are our home away from home and we're so happy we found them.

The facilities were in need of a makeover and refresh. The towels and sheets were dingy and new towels and sheets were needed. The very small refrigerator was sitting on the floor with the microwave on top of it. I dropped some crumbs on the floor on the first night, the cleaning staff did not vacuum it up before we left after two more nights; and we did leave a tip for the cleaning staff each day. The water drainage in the sink smelled each night when we returned from the day's outings. The price was very economical, I should have taken that as a clue, however, the reviews were excellent so we took a chance. I would not stay here again.

Could it use a refresh/update inside? Sure, but what other place at their price point couldn't? Would we have liked a microwave in the room and breakfast? Sure, but we knew that's not what they had and that was fine. Each time we were in the office, it was a pleasant 15 minute affair with small talk, local information and just amazingly pleasant staff. Took 2 steps out our door, looked left, and could see the presidents' faces in the distance. The AC worked well, the beds and refrigerator were fine.

This place is 5-stars for what it is, which is a clean, comfortable room as close to Mt. Rushmore…read moreas you can get. BE AWARE that this is an OLD property, as most/many of the hotels in the surrounding area are. So, you're not going to get a large, sprawling lobby, elegant decor, shiny new furnishings, etc. The air conditioning unit is a bit noisy, but it works. That being said, it is evident that the owners have invested themselves in making the most of what they have, with comfortable bedding, the addition of mini fridges and microwaves to the rooms, and a coffee/tea bar in the lobby stocked with fresh coffee all day. Most importantly, the rooms are CLEAN! Everything is in good repair and clean, and that's what matters most! This place offers a comfortable and enjoyable stay for your trip to Mt. Rushmore. And yes, as many others have mentioned, you can view Mt. Rushmore from the property, which is a nice bonus!

We chose this hotel because it was only and 8-minute drive from Mount Rushmore. We were planning to…read morestay for the lighting ceremony and wanted a short drive in the dark. The Roosevelt Inn was clean, quiet, and had updated rooms. We had two rooms: a king room with balcony and a two-queen room. The king room had more space and a larger bathroom with a walk-in shower. The two-queen room was more cramped (not surprising) and had a smaller bathroom with a tub-shower combo. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast, which was included, included cold cereal, oatmeal with several toppings, eggs, sausage patties, and potatoes. There was also a machine that made pancakes. There were also several types of bread to toast. The juice machine had a couple different juices and the regular and decaf coffees were good. A lactose-free/non-dairy milk would have been nice. The hotel also had a swimming pool, a game room, and laundry facilities. It was walking distance to several restaurants including Halley's, a pizza place, Subway, bagel place, coffee, and a wine bar.
