This hotel seemed about right for the $60 nightly fee. Our room had new carpet, bedding, and furniture. Several other rooms were currently having the same installed. We did not try out the pool or breakfast.

When my wife and I visited this hotel this past summer, they were undergoing renovations. The receptionist was very nice and the check in was relatively smooth. The problem started when we got to our suite and discovered that it has no air-conditioning in the bedroom. After the going to the front desk to try to resolve this problem, the... More

Your kind words are encouraging to all of us at Howard Johnson. We took over the property at the beginning of the summer and have been updating and remodeling since. Thank you for your patience during the construction process. I take pride in a clean pool and hot tub and am glad your family was able to enjoy it. More

We stayed here once five years ago and were not pleased. However; after reading the current reviews we decided to give it another try. The people at the front desk were very pleasant and the breakfast was good. However, the room had not changed since we stayed there before. Very small and mattresses that are too soft.

This was a very nice place to stay. The room was nice, the staff was more than willing to make our stay enjoyable, and the breakfast was great. It was the nicest place we stayed in the Black Hills, and also the cheapest place. We'll stay here our next trip to the Hills.

We pre booked rooms through Expedia...however when we arrived the hotel would not accept the prices and were rude. They wanted us to pay for the prebooked rooms at the "now going" price! I spent over an hour on the phone with Expedia who nicely paid the remaning balance to the hotel. The manager at Expedia said they have never... More

As technology goes these days unfortunately mistakes are made. The third party agency that booked your room made an error on their part. The rate they quoted you was not set by us and was 70% less than our normal competitive rate. We did honor that rate with all the other guests as our franchise demands we do. However I... More
