Loved the hot tub
Our stay was better than expected. Hot tub was AMAZING. We were fortunate enough to get the entire hot tub area to ourselves. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Staff was kind. Served a hot continental breakfast.

The people were very nice and helpful. There were a couple of problems with our room. They began working on them immediately. The location is nice between Lead and Deadwood. Quiet pet friendly hotel. With breakfast. Good price for the area.

Would not stay here again
The employees were very nice, but the overall cleanliness, condition and comfort of the hotel were subpar in our opinion. Very noisy a/c and refrigerator. Black on the ceiling in shower made us uncomfortable, as well as the general condition of shower and bathroom.

Cheap... but thats it
The hotel is a bit aged and understaffed. The receptionist was very pleasanat, and had some abise from another guest but she still looked after her task.

The breakfast was awful

What’s up with your internet service?
We were not impressed with the absolutely NO internet service unless you hooked into their WiFi. The only way I will stay there again is if I first set up a VPN. We really appreciated the shuttle service over to Deadwood. That is what brought us back to stay over and over again. Why they had to change the internet service is beyond me. If you don’t need phone service until you are outside the building then this is great.

Never again
The breakfast was unsanitary, the mattress was worn to the springs, we had to ask for clean towels most every day. They only made the bed once out of five days. Do not recommend.

Room cleanliness
The cleanliness of the room was terrible. The water for a shower was not hot. The carpet looked unvacuumed.
