This is just 2 miles from Mt Rushmore, great location, a large hotel, many rooms with balconies. I had booked a single online with AARP discount. When I arrived reception upgraded me to a King with balcony at no extra charge. Of course, it was out of season, and they had a lot of available rooms. The room was large... More

If you are looking for a good centrally located place to stay with a comfortable, clean room at a reasonable price while touring the Black Hills, the Roosevelt Inn is a very good place to stay. If you would like an early continual breakfast and coffee before heading out for the day, they will have it ready for you along... More

This hotel is on the main strip through Keystone and very close to Mt. Rushmore. Those are the main positives. We stayed in a two room suite with a balcony which had a lot of room for our family of four. The room was very outdated and I did have some concerns about the cleanliness of the bedspreads in the...

Traveling through the area to take a child to college during Sturgis = overpriced rooms & no vacancies, however found this place Via Tripadvisors. I was nervous due to the high prices of all the other hotels and thought something was not going to be good when we got here. Yes I was nervous as I generally stick w/safe name... More

location was perfect, just a short drive to mt. rushmore. it's a plus factor that it's also just across the presidential wax museum (which happened to be in our places-to-go list). parking is limited at the front and is also very narrow, we found a parking space at the back driving up past the big time pizza restaurant. surprisingly, our...

I would recommend this hotel just for its location - very short drive to Mount Rushmore and walking distance to plenty of restaurants. The room itself was nothing fancy - and not the cleanest, especially for the price (but I suppose you're paying for location). Very small bathroom and the continental breakfast was laughable (we went down the street to... More

I chose this hotel because of the loft room--we like to spread out when staying consecutive nights in a hotel. I think we paid $150/night (booked months in advance). Our room had a KG bed, bath, TV, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, and table for 2 on the main level. On the 2nd level there were 2 twin beds &... More

The Roosevelt Inn is located on the main highway through Keystone; excellent location near Mt. Rushmore and all the other touristy venues. Exceptionally clean and very pleasant staff. BUT, after having called many of the local hotels, including major chains, we could have booked else where easily for $25 to $30 dollars less per night/per room. While we didn't request... More

Thank you for a fair and honest review of our property. However I would like to address a common perception about prices. Unfortunately, in Keystone, at least three other properties have electronic reader boards showing prices often as low as $49.95 per night, but these rooms are almost never "available" and the actual prices charged by these properties are in...

Parking here is very tricky. Get back to the hotel early or there will be slim to no parking on the property and you'll have to park across a street in a gravel lot. We checked in and no one was at the front desk. Finally a maintenance guy showed up and checked us in. This was slightly unprofessional. The... More
