Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The toilet was 6" from the wall and had a grab bar taking some of that space. The mattress was worn out. We slept with our feet above our heads.
Breakfast was good for a hotel.
Location was good although it was weird how our gps gave a complicated direction to make a simple left turn but instead lead us to go through iron mountain switchbacks. And it was at night so it was a bit agonizing drive in the dark. Other than that, staff and service was good. Breakfast was decent. Ample parking.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Waited 5 or so minutes for attendant to come to desk. He came in from outside.
The king room with jet tub was incredibly spacious and well decorated. Granite tile everywhere, fireplace, bathroom. Loved that we were able to open the window and great some fresh air. Jacuzzi jets didn’t work great but the room made up for that small shortcoming. Loved this stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We had a family suite that was in the building interior. Although very spacious it relies on the buildings heating and cooling rather than a stand alone ac/heat unit. Unfortunately, the first room we had was experiencing a power issue and the room we were moved to was quite cold and heat wasn’t an option for the time of year we were there. After turning off the AC it took all night to warm up.
All the staff we encountered were very friendly!
Don’t let the outside fool you - the inside is great! We weren’t sure what we were getting into when we arrived and saw a dated looking building. We had booked a standard room but had the option to upgrade to a suite. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly, she showed us the standard room and the suite. The standard room looked clean and comfortable, though a bit small. The suite didn’t cost much extra so we went with it, and it was definitely luxury like the sign says! The hotel is within walking distance of the main attractions in Keystone too. So glad we gave this hotel a chance!
Easy access to room. Comfortable beds and spacious room. Good coffee available in lobby early. Very sufficient breakfast with hot dishes and protein which many do t have. Nice amount of counter space in room.
Didn’t like that they didn’t do room freshening the whole 3 days we were there so tiny trash cans not sufficient.
Conveniently located near Mt Rushmore and other Black Hills attractions. However, room was not properly serviced. Doors, door handles, common surfaces were dirty or greasy. Carpeting was not vacuumed. TV service was inconsistent. Water was rusty.
My stay at Rushmore Express Keystone was great. The location is central located to everything I wanted to visit in the area. Check in went smooth and the hotel staff was great.
