Smelled like vacuum cleaner dust. Carpets all need replacement. Too expensive for little quality. Walkway up front dangerous at night without a guardrail.
Great hotel. Busy area (Week of Sturgis). Big and comfortable room. Good breakfast.

Run down , cold pool
The hosts were very friendly and sweet. The room was ok, the bathroom door handle was coming off. The carpet in the stairway had he’s in it. The pool was ice cold. It was ok if you were just sleeping , but nothing more.

VERY Nice owners! Friendly, accommodating. Location was great, folks very nice. Not a lot of amenities and no elevator. Had to take stairs with heavy luggage. Loved the folks who run/own the place. Fun, friendly and helpful. The stay was very pleasant indeed.
The lights in our room didn’t work unless you jiggled the cord(loose) I asked the (what looked like) maintenance guy and he said “yeah” waved his hand and went into a room. Never came to look at it. Asked the same guy for some towels and coffee for the room, did the exact same thing and never came back. The pool is ICE cold, no one could swim in it. And it’s apparently salt water The hot tub is shut down. The hot water in the rooms gets extremely hot, fast. I burnt myself a couple times and my son did in the shower also. The breakfast is small cups of coffee and mini muffins.
Great break from camping! Indoor pool looked appealing. Good breakfast including hardboiled eggs. Friendly managers. Dog friendly. Just far enough away from crazy keystone.
If you need a place to sleep in transit to your next destination this place is okay. The AC went out at 2 am in the morning and everyone in the hotel was unable to get a hold of anyone from the staff. I booked 2 rooms and both rooms were dirty and had to be recleaned. The hot tub is broke and the pool is ice cold.
If you want a place for the family to enjoy then I recommended a place closer to the town. If you just want a basic room to sleep so you can wake up in the morning and continue your travel then this place will do.
Good location, just outside of the center of keystone. Close enough to the fun but far enough away to have quiet evenings. The staff was very friendly, the pool and pool deck were clean and well maintained. The room was small but cozy, mini fridge and microwave were available in the room.
We actually got moved to Brookside Motel. It was very dirty. The mattress was horrible. I would not recommend this place. But The staff was great and friendly.
I brought my dog with me who is not a service dog, but a support dog. The staff was very accommodating, and when it came to breakfast offered to watch my dog for me while I went in to get some food. I was super impressed with the attention that I saw that they gave to their guests.
