“Loved our evening and morning in the pool.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

We stayed here as a getaway with our kids since the weather was rainy/cloudy we spent most of our time at the pool with a few other family's staying at the hotel. Everyone had a blast the pool was decently heated and the deck was very roomy, we loved having a poolside room so the kids could run up for snacks/drinks etc. The breakfast was basic but very nice....fruit, breads, cereals and hard boiled eggs were nice. The front desk staff were very accomidating and gave us a late check out with no complaints, we were treated very nicely. The only downside we saw was the hotel room could have used an hour of upkeep...some of the walpaper was peeling off and some of the patchwork on the walls shoulc have been painted better, and the shower seriously took 3 minutes to get warm...other than that carpets were soft and clean and everything else was in good order.

Room Tip: We got the 2 queen suite which we loved because it had 2 rooms so my hubby and I could have a bit of...

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.

This property is under new ownership and I can truly say that they care about the hotel. The new owners are friendly and went out of their way to make the stay enjoyable. The hotel is being updated and you cant pass up on the great deal they offer. I would definatly stay at this hotel if I am ever in Spearfish again.

“OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

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.
