Econo Lodge Mt Rushmore Memorial, Keystone

The area around the hotel is spectacular and the distance to downtown Keystone is short. The rooms were clean, but SMALL. Internet access was spotty and the pool was nice. Service was polite, but a little slow. All-in-all, my wife and I would go back because the price is not bad in a popular tourist attraction.

I stayed in room 213, which had 2 queen beds and was non-smoking. Room didn't have the usual smell of cigarettes trying to be masked with Lysol. Beds were very comfortable and room was large with a good size bath. Lady at the front desk was extremely helpful. The hotel itself sits about a mile away from the main part of town, but it's easy to hop in the car and go park on one of the many free lots in town to see the sites. The out of town location is a plus at night when you don't hear traffic constantly going by. I didn't eat the free continental breakfast, so I can't comment on it. The pool area and hot tub looked good, but I never got a chance to hop in those either. The town of Keystone itself is nothing more than a tourist trap for the people coming to visit Mt. Rushmore. The food at the restaurants is all a little too pricey unless you hit the buffets. If you're going to Mt. Rushmore I would recommend this hotel.

During the week of August 14th. There were four of us staying in 2 rooms. Both rooms were very clean and a very nice pool area. The owners are very nice and will do anything to make your stay plesant. An out of the day location. Off the main street and very quiet. I'm going back when I can.

During the 4th of July week, we experienced car trouble and we were stranded in Wyoming, attempting to get to Keystone, 1300 miles from home. I phoned to cancel the reservation and they refused. For $150, we never slept there.
