“Great place to eat and stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

Stayed for the Sturgis rally and loved it. The hotel is a wonderful represention of historic Deadwood. Melanie [owner],Mona, Tammy and staff, treated us like best friends. We stayed seven nights and were upgaded to the the corner suite for the last 2 nights. It is a fabulous room with its view of the Sheridan St. and grand space. The "Lee St Cafe is a great hangout, boasting the best breakfast in Deadwood and every day about 4PM Tammy began happyhour with a cocktail and introduced everyone to each other making it a great place to meet new people and have a good time. A great place to stay with an even greater experience of the historic Deadwood.

“Excellent service - above and beyond expectation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

My husband and I stayed at the Martin and Mason hotel during our first Sturgis Ralley run. My husband rode the Harley out from Southern California, and the Martin and Mason was to be our home base during our stay. We could not of picked a better place. Mona and Melanie, along with all the other hotel staff were really accommodating. First off we stayed in room #2, the bed was the most comfortable bed ever! We had a shower in this room, which was roomy and a great shower head with plenty of water flow. Nice size closet and antique furnishings through-out. We could look out our window to see all the bikes riding into town. We had fresh baked scones each morning, with coffee, shortbread cookies in the afternoon and chocolate truffles at night. They were place outside the rooms for the guest to enjoy. There was also complimentary bottled water and sodas. Riding on the Harley we had to do laundry...and Melanie was so great to take care of our laundry while we were there. It really made a big difference. We didn't have to hang out at a laundro-mat for a portion of our stay. So thank you Melanie...we really appreciated your assistance. Mona shipped back our purchases for us - as there seems to never be enough room on a motorcycle for all the shopping! They have a great little restaurant where you can sit outside and have breakfast, lunch and after noon cocktails. There was parking right at the hotel for our bike, with an area set up for washing the bikes too. You can walk to Main Street and enjoy the cool little town of Deadwood. We had a fanstastic stay during ralley week at the Martin and Mason hotel and would highly recommend this hotel. Great room and even better staff! Thank you!

“Time of our lives! Love to go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

We stayed at this hotel for our fist ever trip for the Sturgis motorcycle rally. It is perfectly located at only about 13 miles from Sturgis so we got the best of both worlds! We got the exciting always crazy sturgis during the day and then back to deadwood in the evening.

The hotel was amazing and only made even more so because of the people that ran/worked there!!! Those folks were terrific!! They had free grilled corn on the cob nights outside on a patio with even some blue grass entertainment on 1 night - we certainly enjoyed that night - then having an amazing breakfast outside in the mornings really made for a great start to the day.

We were in room #10 and I loved it - with fresh pastries and coffee in the AM and yummy chocolates in the hall in the evenings it was certainly special.

The hotel is in a perfect location and we just walked to downtown deadwood and had a few drinks and ate at this great steak house.

We really recommend this hotel and are looking forward to returning next year for the rally.!

The staff was great-friendly and helpful. The scones in the morning were fabulous, as were the afternoon cookies and nightly chocolates. The beds were super comfy.

Unfortunately, we were in room #4, which had the sink and bathtub in the room itself. The toilet was in what obviously had been the coat closet. It was cramped and did not have an exhaust fan. There was no shelf or vanity area at the sink for soap, toothbrush, hairbrush, etc. There were two faucets, one for hot and one for cold, which made it impossible to get a good temperature for washing your face, etc. While the bathtub was a generous size, it was nearly impossible to use the spray wand and not soak the surrounding floor and walls when using it. A shower rod and curtain hung from the ceiling would have made it better, but I still would have preferred a more conventional and modern bathroom.

The hotel was charming and the people were friendly, so it dismays me that I was not pleased with my room.

We realize that no hotel is right for every person, as everyone’s expectations are different. We pride ourselves on our great staff and we thank you for your comments

For clarification, our hotel was restored under National Historic Preservation Guidelines and we used the original bathroom fixtures in the restoration, as required. Our goal was to give our guests the experience of staying in a hotel of the 1893 period when water mixing valves were not available. Also, instead of installing noisy electric motors in each bathroom, we chose to vent all bathrooms through a rooftop unit so each bathroom has continuous and silent ventilation.

We are confident that we have the best and most historically accurate hotel in Deadwood and we welcome every comment of every guest. Thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts so we can improve, as it is always our goal to make our guests time with us, perfect in every way.

“Fabulous service with a friendly staff in a wonderfully historic hotel.”

This historic building has been carefully and thoughtfully renovated into a chic boutique hotel. It is centrally located and is walking distance to all of Deadwood 's activities. While the rooms are wonderful and tastefully decorated, the real charm is the staff. They are customer oriented, friendly and hospitable. This hotel is a joy to stay in. Ask for rooms 5-6.
