My husband and I adore Deadwood and visit from another state as often as or schedules will allow..we even spent our honeymoon here..after staying in other Deadwood hotels..we always pot for Dicks. .true..the hotel is old and very eclectic. .and also, I would be lying if I said the place doesn't need a few renovations. However, it really captures the true sense of historic Deadwood and the king bed in room 407 is unbelievably comfy !! After living in a studio apartment in lower Manhattan NYC for several years..Deadwood Dicks really give me a happy nostalgic feeling of my 6th floor walk up ..I will say if you're looking for four star luxury...this is probably not the place for you..however..if you want to experience eclectic old Deadwood history. , you will love this place as much as my husband and I do..

The people were very friendly but the hotel was awful. I have 2 toddlers and a Great Dane. The grassy area they talk about for walking dogs is a 4x4 peice of weedy grass and then a mountian straight up. Our room was on the 4th floor. Hallways and elevator to small for doub;le stroller. To get the dog outside we had toout our door up 2 stairs ,across the roof, in another door, down a hall to the small english styler elevator that we almost didn't all fit in. And if it is on another floor and the last people in it didn't close the cage behind them it wont come to you and you have to walk the stairs. Also we were pulling a horse trailer and there was no parking so we had to park 2 blocks away at a bank. The second night we were there we had wasps in our room, they offered us another room on the 3rd floor but seeing as it was going to take us 6 trips across the roof with our stuff jsut to go down 1 floor to sleep and than leave in the morning doing it all over again,Especially since they never offered to HELP us move our stuff. We just left at 9pm at night to drive 6 hrs home. it was not worth staying there any longer. Both me and my 3 yr old were crying to go home. We ended up staying at a Microtel in Rapid City that was very nice, big hallways and an actual big grassy area in the back for dogs. First floor too right by a back door. Deadwood Dicks was awful. But the beds was comfy the first night there were no wasps in it.

We recently needed a room due to the fact again we had construction at our place. And again we choose Deadwood Dick's Hotel, great owners on site daily, comforting atmosphere.This time we stayed in a cozy one room studio and it is wonderful, clean quiet on the top floor of this historic property once owned by one of Deadwood's most successful residents W.E. Adams.
When you go to Deadwood stay here only 2 blocks from Main St. and free parking on the property no need to drive once checked in.

If you like cool, old buildings and places with character and comfort than Deadwood Dick's Hotel is for you. Ideally located not only within the town, but within the Black Hills area. The room was nicely furnished, and the bed was very comfortable, plus they provided a fan, a sleeping necessity for me that I often have to sacrifice when traveling. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. If you like bland, chain hotel rooms than this place is not for you. Everything at Deadwood Dick's is about the guest's comfort and enjoyment. A great historic place to stay in such a historic city.
