“Stayed there several times including the Sturgis Rally”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We have stayed at this hotel on several different dates and have enjoyed it every time. We did stay in one of the older rooms located in the back of the hotel one time and they are very small. But the remainder of our stays ( 10 total) we have stayed in one of the big rooms located on the front of the building - Usually the Roosevelt Suite - the rooms are huge and over look main street. The hotel roof top bar is an especially nice place to relax and watch the sun set. If you are looking for a chain hotel experience, this place is not for you. But if you want to experience a little of what Deadwood was like in the 1880's this is your place. Always very clean, comfortable beds, great staff. We won't stay anywhere else.

Room Tip: Ask for one of the large rooms located on the front side of the building. They face main street.

“The decor is fitting for deadwood”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

As we pulled in to deadwood we saw a sign offering rooms did 29.95. We were impressed with the front entrance so booked a room.
The rooms haven't been remodeled in probably 70 years. They were clean but felt like you were in an asylum.

“It was OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

After reading the reviews of this hotel I was skeptical about staying there. Maybe it was because I was expecting the worst that I found it to be OK. My room was small, but friends had a big room, it was a little shabby but clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower was hot. We faced the street so it was a little noisy but I had ear plugs so it wasn't an issue. The casino was nice, the buffet was excellent and since, I didn't spend much time there, the room was fine. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I would stay there again.

Room Tip: It would be quieter if the room wasn't on the street side.

“Deadwood”

The hotel was interesting because it was historic. You felt like you were going back in time. The rooms were ok but they do need to be updated. As long as I can sleep I'm ok. The windows were old they should but some money into updating them. I loved the Old West feel of the hotel. It was a good expierence I would go back again

“Not worth the money!”

person found this review helpful

My husband and I wanted a romantic getaway in a historic hotel. We didnt get it :( the staff was friendly and the casino and buffet were great but the rooms are horrible! The bed was smaller than stated online and very uncomfortable. The carpet was dirty and the bedding was old and dingy. It was very noisy and loud and we didnt get any sleep. We had reserved the room for two night and ended up only staying one because it was so bad. Worst hotel I have ever stayed at.
