Rushmore Express, Keystone

Nice location, its near to all the attractions in Keystone. Very comfortable family suite with 2 queen beds and a sofa sleeper in the living room, big enough for the 6 of us. My family enjoyed our 2 nights stay there.

We pulled up to the front of the hotel and I thought where are the rooms in here that we booked and were pictured? We were pleasantly surprised. We had a family suite with a great family area, dining area and 2 TV's. We had eight people stay in our room comfortably. (4 adults and 4 children) The hotel staff was over the top. Super friendly and outgoing. We were having problems with our DVD player and they let us borrow the one out of the breakfast area for two days!! The only disappointment we had was the lack of breakfast items. Other hotels do a much better job with that. We did hear some complaints about the other room accommodations but we never saw a regular room. We were in an area that was obviously upgraded. Pool area was nice and the kids loved it. Thanks and would recommend the family suite we had.

We had a suite and thought it was very nice...2 TVs, 2 queen beds, fireplace, heated floors in bathroom....The staff was friendly and prompt when we had a request. The location was off the beaten path but within walking distance to the grocery store, downtown Keystone, and several attractions. The kids really liked the pool and hot tub. The hotel was quiet and never seemed crowded though the parking lot was often full. The only negatives were the lack of a continental breakfast and limited TV stations. We would stay there again.

We booked here because most of the other lodgings in Keystone were completely booked on July 3rd because of the fireworks at Mt. Rushmore. We found it better than we expected. The suite we had was only $219 p/n and was extremely spacious for three three of us. Everything was sparkling new. It had two TVs and the beds were comfy. The microwave and fridge were convenient even though we didn't use them much. We had a coffeemaker and coffee was provided in the breakroom as well. The only drawback was the tub didn't have grip bars so my mother could take a bath. We later found she could have used the shower across from the lovely indoor pool. Of the three hotels we stayed at during our week-long trip to South Dakota, this one was my father's favorite.

Rushmore Express was everything that we were wanting in our trip to South Dakota. The staff were very helpful. They allowed us to look at the rooms before deciding if we wanted to stay. The rooms were very clean and included a microwave and refrigerator. We stayed on the second level which had a balcony and at night we watched the deer across the road bed down for the night. Rushmore Express is located in the center of everything. Mt. Rushmore is located two miles away. You have a sky lift across the street that leads to a diner, a wax museum across the street, shopping in walking distance including many places to eat, and the famous downtown Keystone. The kids were able to enjoy the pool which was very clean. Rushmore Express was very reasonable in cost and we would definately go back. It was great for the whole family.

We liked the fact that the hotel was located off the beaten path and was quiet at night. We LOVED the pillow-top beds. They were SO comfortable. For the price, though, we were disappointed there was no continental breakfast. The TV (as stated before) had very few channels than normal hotels. There was also no ironing board w/iron. Luckily I bring an iron with me anyway, so we ended up ironing on a towel on the bed.

The rates are not what are advertised. Our room was 110. per nite. There is no continentel breakfast as promised. The TV did not have HBO, actually it had very few channels and was only about 20 in..I wore just washed slippers and the bottoms were black after 3 days! Also had ants in the bathroom. Wouldn't stay there again for that price!

The suites are fantastic and the service was top-notch. I traveled with a choir of 35 high school students. Most hotels treat such groups as if they are doing you a favor to provide any rooms. The staff went out of their way to accomodate us and actually thought to put our rooms close to each other and away from other guests we might disturb. And, the "Wow" factor when we opened the doors was great. The suites are absolutely gorgeous!

i am very picky about hotels but this hotel is a must place to stay. my family stayed in a suite and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. we were suppose to stay in another room but they had the wrong room reserved for us. they upgraded us to a suite for just a few dollars more and it was well worth the extra dollars. very clean, nice staff just a wonderful experience. the cafe where we had the free breakfast was not good though - pancakes tasted like rubber. but hey - it's not all about the food. would stay again if ever in this area again.

We left our camera in our hotel room and didn't notice it until we were in Illinois. The staff at Rushmore Express found our camera, called us and mailed it to our home in California. This is something not many people would do and we are extremely greatful, not only is this hotel clean, friendly and in a beautiful location, it also has honest employees.
