Nice cozy hotel.
Decent property by the Lake. Very spacious. Two miles from food and shopping. Close to airport. If you want to see Badlands, wind cave and Rushmore in the same trip

Pleasant setting
It's not the Waldorf Astoria but that wasn't the intent. If you're looking for a clean friendly stay in a beautifully walkable setting this is it.
Apart from the somewhat dated accomodations (hey, it was a tad rustic but it evoked pleasant feelings of nostalgia for this 60-something boomer) I couldn't have asked for a quiter room nestled on the shore of a beautiful lake (well, reservoir) and park.
Plus we had the added benefit of being there outside of the tourist season. I'll be back.

The service was exceptional! Deb was wonderful. The “cabins” however were tired, and had an odd smell to them. I will say they were clean. A couple of hooks in the bathroom would be a nice addition.
