    the breakfast at Fat Sam's

    when I stayed and went to Fat Sam's for breakfast as this was the closet and the hotel did not have breakfast. I was very disappointed. All previous review made it sound great, unfortunately this was not my experience. The food was cold, the oatmeal you could use for wall paper paste, the value was not at all good I would have gotten a better breakfast at McDonalds and I do not eat there

    The hotel is old, the furniture is old, the linens are older. The shower was weak. The parking lot was small and overfull.

    The location, close to Mount Rushmore, was great - as we were staffing for the late show. The price was good (lowest in the area).

    The location is perfect when visiting Mount Rushmore, which is just 2.3 miles away. There are also other activities around the area like the Tramway Adventures and the President Wax museum. Shops and restaurants are just walking distance from the property. The property is clean and comfortable for a stay!

    Convenient location close to Mount Rushmore, gas station and stores/restaurants. Clean property, had an elevator and very friendly staff. Fridge and microwave in room. View of Mount Rushmore from balcony and outside.

    The rooms are a little “tired”. Nothing a good update wouldn’t take care of. The bed was too soft.

    The woman in reception was exceptionally nice. The location was perfect. The diner 50 yards away had a great breakfast buffet and wonderful vibe.

    Nothing major. Nothing you wouldn't already expect from a budget stay. The carpet throughout in the room was old and worn. The elevator and hallway carpets were dingy and smelled dirty. The room itself was a little musty, but better with the A/C on.  The towels were small and rough (very common in mid west hotels). Thin walls. I could hear muffled conversations and kids crying. 

    Great location close to Mt Rushmore! The park is only about a 6 minute drive away. Stayed here 1 night in mid June to get an early start at Mount Rushmore the following morning. I got a great deal online for a one night stay. This is the closest motel to Mt Rushmore, and one of the cheapest in the whole Custer area. It was a good value for just over $100/night. Very friendly reception. Easy check in and out. Clean, large room with 2 queen beds. Furniture was dated, but ok.   Average room and bed comfort for a budget friendly motel in the mid west. Mini fridge in room, but no microwave, which was fine for the price. Hot water, coffee, and a community microwave were available in the lobby 24/7. I think a few items are offered for breakfast, but we left too early to check it out. Elevator (not common in motels in the mid west). Location was great! About a 4 min walk to the Borglum Museum and the outdoor wood chipping/carving art company, Dahl's. We walked another 4 min or so to a small, well-lit strip of stores and restaurants lining both sides of the street. Also close to adventure centers and the 1880's train depot. Coin operated laundromat near the gas station next door. All in all, it was a very adequate budget stay conveniently close to Mt Rushmore. When you book the cheapest room in town, you shouldn't expect amenities or modern decor. But the value for a 1-2 night stay can't be beat.

    We did not like our Take-Out dinner from Ruby House restaurant in Keystone. They almost forgot 1/3 of our order. The buffalo burgers were charred, the fries were cold, and the sweet potato fries for which we paid extra were missing.

    The hotel met my expectations (beds were clean and comfortable) for a budget-friendly hotel near Mount Rushmore. The best thing about the hotel was Julie, the Front Desk attendant, who was very pleasant, patient, and extremely helpful in the midst of a very busy check-in period late in the day. We were delighted to be able to see the lit-up Mount Rushmore from our balcony in the evening. This hotel does not serve breakfast, so we grabbed a great cup of coffee and a delicious peach smoothie from Grapes & Grinds.

    The room was very dated. Poor water pressure in the shower. Beds soft. A room safe would be welcome.

    The front desk staff were really helpful. The room was clean. There is plenty of parking available. Good location.
